American Bullador Dog Breed

Below are the details and specs for the American Bullador dog breed.

The Am. Bullador is considered a large sized dog breed. Adults stand 21 - 23 inches tall and will weigh 60 – 90 lbs. Their large and muscular build makes these dogs robust and powerful, very capable at sport and guarding.

Gentle and patient, these dogs are known to do well with children. They make for wonderful playmates and should have no issues with other pets if they are socialized with them at a young age.

You can expect the American Bullador to be a medium maintenance dog breed. Their coat will need to be brushed about once or twice a week and they do shed an above average amount. These dogs need a decent amount of daily exercise to stay happy and in shape.

The Am. Bullador is a fairly new dog breed and because of this the breed does not have a very detailed history. It is likely that the breed was first intentionally bred in the last few decades as the popularity of hybrid dogs increased.

As a crossbreed, the Am. Bullador will inherit physical traits from both parent breeds. Not all American Bulladors will inherit the same traits which means some individuals may have more Labrador Retriever characteristics, others may have more American Bulldog characteristics, and some may show a mix of both parent breeds.

Am. Bulladors may be said to look like Labrador Retrievers that are on steroids. Their general shape and frame is reminiscent of the Labrador but packing a serious load of extra muscle. The coat is short in length, water-resistant, and smooth to the touch. Their head is wider than the Labradors and is framed by small, floppy ears that often fall back or to the side. Their eyes are almond shaped and dark brown; their tail is long and tapered, carried down unless the dog is excited.

The temperament of the American Bullador is dependent on the behavioral traits inherited from its parents. Some Am. Bulladors will inherit traits from the American Bulldog, others the Labrador Retriever, and some will have a mix of behaviors inherited from both parent breeds.

Am. Bulladors are intelligent, friendly dogs that are great family pets. They are patient with kids and love to play; these dogs have a lot of energy and will no doubt be up for any exercise that involves owner and himself. Depending on whether the dog inherits more of the Labrador or Bulldog temperament, training can be very easy or a bit of struggle. In either case, they should be happy just to be around a human friend. These dogs are somewhat protective and can be trained to be great watch dogs or guard dogs as well.

The life expectancy for this breed is 10 – 16 years. As a hybrid, the Am. Bullador has more genetic diversity than its purebred parent breeds which helps with the breed's health and hardiness. At this time there are no known genetic issues with this breed, though it may be susceptible to hip dysplasia as this is common in both parent breeds.
