What do you think?
Well I have been doing some research on Clark and I am thinking he may be a Valley Bulldog not an American Bulldog. Here is a link tell me what you think. Of course here is Clark

All I see is Boxer in him but I'm not too familiar with those breeds.

It seems to me the Valley Bulldog has more of a boxer look and I think Clark looks more boxerish

See no link in your post, and am assuming you meant Valley again in the second one and not Village. This what you are talking about?

Im thinking he's a american bulldog.. The link is to a breeder who is very experianced, you could probably email them a picture and ask them. And check out the pictures of their dogs!http://www.joshuakennels.com/moreinfo.htm

Comparing the pic here http://bulldogbreeds.com/valleybulldog.html to your first one I'd say Clark looks more Valley bulldog than American bulldog.
I'm guessing your second pic he was jumping or something and his ears are not normally up like that? Have you a pic w/his ears in a relaxed/foward normal position? (like when you say "cookie?" ) bulldogbreeds.com say the Valley bulldog originated as a cross btwn the english bulldog and a boxer. A neighbour of my mum's had an American Bulldog (like Chase in Homeward Bound) little to no wrinkling on the muzzle and they are taller and alot less stockier than the Valley, and English bulldogs. American bulldog males range from 22-27 inches, Valley bulldog males range from 15-22 inches English bulldogs 12-14 inches

Growler if he would stay still long enough to get a pic that would be a feat in itself. But I am leaning towards Valley as well so that is what he is I have decided. He does not look like the Americans I know. His head seems to be a different shape then the American. Oh well he is cute and cuddly and loves me and I love him thats all that really matters

Mastifflover, he certainly resembles most of the Valley Bulls I have met here. The majority of them have a strong
Boxer resemblance, with more muscling than typical of a boxer. Beautiful boy!! |

American Bulldogs have two types, if I'm not mistaken, standard (or Scott) and Johnson, some dogs being a hybrid of the two types. I honestly can't remember which has the "boxer-y" type muzzle and which has the longer (often mistaken for a large APBT) type, but here is the breed standard from the American Bulldog Association:

I don't think he is either. I think he is a purebred Darn Handsome Bulldog

Thanks Pitgrrl My next door neighbour has an AB (white) who looks nothing like Clark she is like the more common AB's you see. But Clark other than the speed and muscular body looks like a different breed. I am more confused than ever. I really do see a resembalence to the VB but I also see AB not Johnson type in him. His dad said he is AB and he met the parents. But I really do not care which he is cuz he is cute and way to much energy. But I am getting used to it, he is ball obsessed.

A lady walked by my house while I was outside gardening,she had a babystroller and an American Bulldog,he was really big,brown/white,very muscular a wide head,looked really dangerous,but was a big suck
He did not look much like your little Clark.

I think he is the standard type not a Johnson they are bigger and a different head Clark is a little guy or maybe I am just used to a dog as big as a person. He is getting more comfortable all the time.

Something to consider also is how common a breed is in your area (or where ever the dog came from).
For example, Basil and Streets look like a whole variety of pure breeds (or mixes of). People have actually argued with me about it. Their looks, temperment and the fact that everyone in the neighbourhood in which they were found has boxers, pit bulls or rotties makes me pretty confident about the fact that they are boxer x pit bull. All that to say, how many Valley Bulldogs are there even in Canada? I was under the impression that it was a fairly small number (I could be totally wrong though) vs. AmBulls? How big is Clark anyways? He's a total looker, I have to say. |

Clark hails from Montreal now residing in Toronto. He is little 66 pounds and knee high. I guess he is small when I always compare his size to Buds, big difference. There are a lot in Nova Scotia
