Atomic American Bulldogs

<BODY>  <P>Atomic American Bulldogs thanks you for your interest in our American Bulldogs and hope that the following will provide you with some background information on this incredible breed.</P> <p><b>Atomic American Bulldogs</b> has been located in NYC since we started our American Bulldogs breeding program in 1996. In April of 2005, we relocated to Meredith, NY. Upstate NY provides a much better environment for us and our dogs. Our kennel is located on 22 acres of land, 2 miles off RT 28. Meredith is a small farming community in the Catskill region of Upstate NY. Its about 3 1/2 hours North of NY City. Due to Meredith not having a post office, residents of Meredith use a Delhi mailing address, & zip code. That's why our address says "Delhi, NY" even though we're in Meredith.</p> <p><img src="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/house.jpg" align=left HSPACE=10 ALT="Atomic American Bulldogs" TITLE="Atomic American Bulldogs"> <P>Known as the English White, Southern White, Georgia Giant and American Pit Bulldog in years past, now commonly known as the American Bulldog, or what would be more relevant to what we have here at Atomic, the Johnson American Bulldog. The Johnson American Bulldog is a massive, powerful breed. Males range between 23 - 28 inches tall and 90 - 150 pounds. Females range between 20 - 26 inches tall and 70 - 130 pounds. Considering their size, this breed is surprisingly very athletic. Their coat is thin and short. The color of the coat varies from solid white, to white with random markings, to mostly colored with white markings. The most common color of the markings is brindle which can be in many shades, from light brown to black, and anything in between. These colored markings can also be solid. The only pure solid coat color (without any markings) should be white. There is no way to plan the color or size of puppies before they're born. The color and size can vary greatly, even with puppies in the same litter. This is true because the American Bulldog was never bred for size or color. The American Bulldog is a very intelligent breed that I have found easy to train. Their temperament is stable. The breed, as a whole is very well put together, with a massive solid frame, ripping with muscle from nose to tail!!!</P> <P>The history of the <b>Johnson American Bulldog</b> is a controversial issue, unaided by the many twists & turns of truth from various misguided individuals. In saying this, my position is firm that the Johnson American Bulldogs are the true descendants of the old time Bulldog that lived in England as far back as 600 - 700 years ago. Various drawing and lithographs of Bulldogs from the 1600 - 1700's depict a large muscled bodied, straight long legged and tailed Bulldog with a square head and an undershot jaw. The only difference that can be detected from these drawing is a thicker and slightly longer coat that the old time Bulldogs had, which is expected due to the difference in climate between England and the Southeastern United States. When looking at these drawings there is no doubt that the Bulldogs depicted, and the present day Johnson American Bulldogs are very similar, or even one in the same. Writings from even earlier times about the old time Bulldogs of England also do a good job in describing the Johnson American Bulldog. This is the Bulldog that was used in the development of many other breeds of dog, such as the American Pit-Bull Terrier, the Boxer & the Bull Mastiff to name a few.</P> <P>The history of the Bulldogs back in England is quite interesting. Mainly they were gladiators of cruel blood sports. The sport of Bullbaiting was the favorite of many, thus the name Bulldog. They were also pitted against themselves and sadly, watching two Bulldogs fighting to the death was a main source of entertainment in that time in history... As you can imagine only the strongest, fastest, most fit Bulldogs would survive. Breedings between such animals would produce pups of high demand. Centuries of breeding in this fashion produced a dog of unequaled and strength and gameness. Although it is true that such cruel keeping of of those dogs is sad to think about, it is what made many modern breeds what they are today. As dog fighting and bullbaiting thankfully became outlawed in England the popularity of the original Bulldog decreased to the point of now being extinct in England. As a side note, the modern day, bred down, broken down, and deformed AKC "English Bulldog" is a far cry from the old time Bulldogs of England.</P> <P>The true Bulldog was saved from extinction by English settlers who brought them to the United States and utilized them as working farm dogs in the Southeastern states. The jobs of these dogs were demanding, they protected live stock from man or beast, they would drive live stock and when necessary catch a stray. It was also their job to let anything living know that they would make certain of their masters well being. During the end of World War II the numbers of these dogs were quickly diminishing and facing another brush with extinction. If not for the efforts of Mr. John D. Johnson and his family, this GREAT breed may have well have become permanently extinct. Until recently the American Bulldog went virtually unknown and is still considered rare, although substantial gain in its popularity is inevitable due to its incredible traits.</P> <P>The protection instincts of the American Bulldog have been instilled in them for hundreds of years, making them natural protectors. As guard dogs they are the best on the planet, and dominate in this field, this is known world-wide. The Johnson American Bulldog is a criminals worst nightmare. If you are ever faced with danger, they will literally fight to their death on your behalf. When they are challenged in this fashion, they possess a level of ferocity, and a willingness to conquer that is legendary. This breed will bond very tightly towards you and your family with strong devotion and loyalty. This starts at a very young age, and I believe this has a lot to do with why they take their protection of their family and property so very seriously.</P> <P>Because of the incredible power of this breed we strongly recommend that you have your puppy obedience trained at an early age by a professional trainer. Take the time before your puppy arrives to find a highly recommended trainer with good standing in your community. Although this may be quite expensive, it's well worth it, and does a world of good for the dog. We strongly advise against protection or attack training this breed of dog unless you are positive the training is done by a competent trainer who has experience working with Bull breeds. You have to remember that Johnson American Bulldogs are born with protection instincts that were instilled in them for hundreds of years that work quite adequately and are more than enough for protecting you, your family and property. An American Bulldog from good stock (if worth its salt) will protect naturally, no attack training necessary! In saying this, please, any type of aggressive behavior should not be encouraged.</P> <P>We believe that <b>the best American Bulldogs</b> in the world are without any question from pure Johnson Bloodlines. When someone sees one, there will be no mistaking at what they are looking at! Small or large the Johnson American Bulldog possess true American Bulldog traits! We are dedicated in preserving the Johnson Bloodline in its original state. We will breed only pure Johnson lines to the standard that Mr. Johnson established with Alan Scott in 1972.

He is what we strive to produce in our Males. Until we see better, he is what we will measure the males we produce against. We loved owning him, as he was a great American Bulldog! He basically has it all!!! He moved like a cat, has a ton of wind, and excellent temperament and was one hellish protector!!!<br><hr> <p>Jackson's Boogieman Zeek<br>Zeek was the first American Bulldog we ever owned. After years of researching the breed, through all the traveling, video tapes, phone calls and letters, we were finally in the market for a pup. Dr. Jackson was referred to us by John D. Johnson, who assured us that Dr. Jackson was producing excellent puppies! Well, he was right! We were very happy with Zeek, and the puppies that Zeek produced for us were down right awesome!!! This Boy was tough as nails and God help anything that got on his bad side.<br><hr> <p>Johnson's Collette 78<br>We acquired Collette Sadie when she was 8 weeks old. Again, after years of research, Mr.Johnson <B>BY FAR</B> the most knowledgable person in the breed. His breeding program was basically the source of the vast majority of everything we liked in this breed. After we saw his American Bulldogs in person, we we sold! Mr. Johnson offered us a female puppy, and the rest is history! Collette 78 was super athletic, moved like a cat and had an incredible temperament. We couldn't have asked for more. She is one of my favorites of all time.<br><hr> <p>Atomic's Bugsy - Penn-HIP .37/.41 top 90th percentile of the breed<br>Bugsy is a product of our 1st breeding. He matured into one hell of an American Bulldog! We are very proud to have been able to produce him! His Mom is our favorite female, and Bugsy is our favorite male! He is what I measure males against.<br><hr> <p>Powell's Collette 10 "Sadie" - Penn-HIP .36/.36 top 90th percentile of the breed<br>Sadie is a product of a 1/2 sibling inbreeding off Powell's Machine Dillon. We acquired Sadie when she was 2 years old. We were very lucky to get her and she was an excellent American Bulldog! Sadie was an awesome protector and an excellent mother. She was an X-large sized female. She was as large, or larger than a lot of the males I've seen in this breed.<br><hr> <p>Jacobs Bo - Penn-HIP .41/.37 top 90th percentile of the breed<br>Bo is fine Male, who's been producing awesome puppies for us. He reminds me of a smaller version on Bugsy. Jerry did a wonderful job in producing him! We're blessed to be the owners of Bo, and are confident that Bo will continue to produce American Bulldogs to "die for"!!!<br><hr> <p>Big Sky's Gabriella "Gabby" - Penn-HIP .31/.32 top 100th percentile of the breed<br>Gabby is a product of a 1/2 sibling inbreeding off an American Bulldog we produced, Atomic's Dick The Bruiser "Zechariah". She's a very nice female! Mark did a great job in breeding her! We love this female, and can not wait to get a litter oot of her from Bo.<br><hr> <p>Big Sky's Sugar Doll - Penn-HIP .37/.41 top 90th percentile of the breed<br>Sugar is a product of a full sibling inbreeding, again, off an American Bulldog we produced, Atomic's Dick The Bruiser "Zechariah". She's a very nice female! Mark did a great job in breeding her! Sugar reminds me a lot of Johnson's Collette 78, and Atomic's Collette 78, which is the reason why we wanted inbred females off of Atomic's Dick The Bruiser "Zechariah". Sugar has already produce an excellent litter of puppies, and we're looking forward from more out of her.<br><hr> <p>Interview<br><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/target.html" TARGET="target">Home</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/hist.html" TARGET="target">Info</a><br><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/atompic6.html" TARGET="target">Bugsy</a><br><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/atompic8.html" TARGET="target">Bo</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/atompic.html" TARGET="target">Zeek</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/atompic7.html" TARGET="target">Sadie</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/atompic9.html" TARGET="target">Gabby</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/atompic10.html" TARGET="target">Sugar Doll</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/atompic2.html" TARGET="target">Collette 78</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/atompic5.html" TARGET="target">Dot</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/atompic3.html" TARGET="target">Sugar Tuffie</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/atompic4.html" TARGET="target">Nadine</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/album/" TARGET="target">Photos</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/bred.html" TARGET="target">Bred</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/breedings.html" TARGET="target">Breedings</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/pups.html" TARGET="target">Puppies</a><br> <a href="https://pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/standard.html" TARGET="target">Standard</a><br> <a href="https://www.pcwebsites.com/americanbulldog/gallery/" TARGET="target">PC Websites</a><br> <hr> </BODY>
