American Bulldog

The American Bulldog is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris). Though larger in
size, they are the closest surviving relative of the Old English Bulldog because they were not
altered to as great an extent while in Colonial America as their European cousins. There are
generally considered to be two types of American Bulldog, the Johnson type and the Scott type,
named after the breeders who were influential in developing them, John D. Johnson and Allen
Scott. These are more commonly known as Classic or Bully type and Standard or Performance
type.

[edit] Description
[edit] Appearance

The American Bulldog is a stocky and well built,

strong-looking dog. Its coat is short and either white,
white with patches, black and white brindle, fawn and
white, fawn and white brindle or a combination of all
of these and some of them may even have what is
called a blue patch. The color conformation is quite
varied, but white must be somewhere in the coat for the
dog to be confirmed in most ABD clubs. The Johnson
type is a larger dog with a shorter muzzle than the Scott type. However, many modern American
Bulldogs are a combination of the two types. In general, American Bulldogs weigh between 27
to 57 kg (60 to 125 lb) and are 52 to 70 cm (20 to 28 in) at the withers but have been known to
greatly exceed that.

A young Aussie named Harriet

The Australian Terrier stands around 25 centimeters high at the withers and weighs around 7
kilograms. It is a low-set dog; the length of its body is longer than its height at the withers. The
Aussie has a high-set tail that is now not docked in Australia.
The head of the Australian Terrier is elongated, with a slight stop and pricked ears. The ANKC
breed standard describes the dog's look as "hard bitten" and "rugged". The eyes are small, dark,
and oval and must have a keen terrier expression. The leather of the nose runs up to the bridge of
the muzzle, which is described as "strong".
The dog's coat is rough or harsh to the touch, with a soft undercoat and a distinctive ruff around
the neck. Australian Terriers shed little hair. The breed standard specifies that it should be
untrimmed, but some prefer to neaten the dog for the show ring. Acceptable colors are blue and
tan, red or sandy.
The Australian Terrier has medium sized triangular ears which are very flexible. The ruff around
the neck complements its appearance. It is a great companion dog.

The Carolina Dog, or American Dingo, is a type of wild dog discovered in the late 1970s.[1]
They were located living in isolated stretches of longleaf pines and cypress swamps in the
Southeastern United States.
Physical

Carolina Dog / American "Dixie" Dingo

Some ancient paintings and rock art of Native Americans depict dogs that have physical traits
similar to those of Carolina Dogs. Carolina Dogs also have a ginger-colored coat that is found on
other wild dogs, including Australian Dingoes and Koreas native dog, the Jindo.[3] Experts have
said that Carolina Dogs are seemingly indistinguishable from the Jindo [citation needed]. Also, fossils
of the dogs of Native Americans exhibit similar bone structures to Carolina Dogs. Brisbin found
a resemblance between 2,000-year-old skulls and those of the Carolina Dogs, but concluded that
there was too large a difference to prove any connection.[4] Along with this, DNA testing have
pointed to a link[citation needed].

Boxer (dog)
Developed in Germany, the Boxer is a breed of stocky, medium-sized, short-haired dog. The
coat is smooth and fawn or brindled, with or without white markings. Boxers are brachycephalic,
and have a square muzzle, mandibular prognathism (an underbite), very strong jaws and a
powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey. The Boxer was bred from the English Bulldog
and the now extinct Bullenbeisser and is part of the Molosser group.
Boxers were first exhibited in a dog show for St. Bernards at Munich in 1895, the first Boxer
club being founded the next year. Based on 2007 American Kennel Club statistics, Boxers are
the sixth most popular breed of dog in the United Statesmoving up from the seventh spot for
the first time since 2002with 33,548 new dog
registrations during the year.[1].
