Home Of Champion Big And Bully 100% Johnson
And Johnson Type American Bulldogs
Our Mission
Welcome to Britten's American Bulldogs. At our house we continue
Mr John D Johnson's (RIP) American Bulldog legacy, producing
100% Johnson and Johnson type American Bulldogs. We strive for
conformation, health, working ability, tenacity, and over all
temperment. Our American Bulldogs are the perfect family pet, and
guardian. American Bulldogs are also my families' passion, but to
support our American Bulldog addiction I have served active duty
in the United States Navy as a Seabee for the past ten years while
my wife is a high school history teacher. I grew up listening to my
fathers stories of the American Bulldogs my grandparents raised
when he was a boy on the family farm. I knew one day I would
have some of my own. So when my wife and I decided to get a dog
I already had the breed picked out. My wife and I bought our first
American Bulldog for home protection, and after seeing how smart,
trainable, and protective the American Bulldog was, we were
hooked and fell into the family tradition. If your looking for a dog
that the neighborhood children can play with, but will stand it's
ground to protect it's family and home, an American Bulldog is what
you are looking for.  We only have one or two litters a year. All of
our puppies are family raised, and socialized with children, other
dogs, and cats from birth. So if you are interested you can call us,
or stop by anytime.

chips, you can't have just one"

SOME OF BRITTEN'S AMERICAN BULLDOGS
ACCOMPLISHMENTS EARNED AT ONE SHOW.
HISTORY OF THE JOHNSON AMERICAN BULLDOG

Starting some where in 1930's a man named John D. Johnson of
Summerville Georgia who used his bulldogs for farm work &
protection of property. He begain gathering farm working bulldogs
together into a breeding program to insure that they would never
become extinct like their counterparts did in England.
In the 1960's he was joined by Alan Scott, a farmer and breeder of
Percheron draft horses from northern Alabama. Together they
scoured remote swamps and mountains of the rural southern area
of the United States of American and collected foundation stock of
an ancient breed which was given a new name in 1984, the
American Bulldog instead of the American Pit Bulldog was lead by
Mr. John D. Johnson so people would not confuse it with the
American Pit Bull Terrier, which is a bully breed but not a bulldog.

While it is true that today's American Bulldog is a direct
descendant of the Elizabethan era English Bulldog and is
physically identical to its great great grandparents, they were
never extensively used in baiting contests on this continent but
were used instead as farm utility dogs, hunting dogs and as watch
dogs, consequently their temperaments have been mellowed over
the centuries but their physical abilities have been retained.

The majestic American Bulldog has also proven to be a real ham,
starring in many full length motion pictures and many commercials
and advertisements. Showing the American bulldog's, intelligence
and ability to adapt and serve their owner with trust, no matter
what they are asked to do. The American Bulldog is now enjoying
a great increase in popularity, not just in south east and south
west,but all over America, Canada and the World. The American
Bulldog can be found today World Wide working on farms catching
hogs or cattle, also for hunting wild game, K9 police and protection
work or just being a loving and protective family pet, just as they
have done in the southern United States for hundreds of years.
American Bulldogs also successfully compete in several dog
sports such as Schutzhund, French Ring street protection sport,
Iron Dog competition, weight pulling and in the show ring. They
also are good at social work with the elderly,young children and ill
patients.

So no matter what story you have been told, "and there are many",
or what you may believe about the beginnings of the American
Bulldog, I believe due to Mr. John D. Johnson's for-site, great
breeding skills and along with other men that had admiration for
this breed of Bulldog, saving this great animal from extinction.
