* It is the way the owner of the dog treats it. I have yet to come across a single vicious American bulldog. All dogs want nothing more than to please their owner and if being nasty is what that person has shown the dog to be then the dog will act accordingly no matter what breed they are. * The American Bull Dog is not associated with the Pitt Bull. According to the breeders of these dogs they are most loyal, playful, but can become aggressive to certain strangers who come in the families home, and can be aggressive with other dogs when another dog has shown aggression towards them. When owners get a dog they should pay to be trained with their dog (small or large breeds) to listen to commands. Commands can be lifesavers for the dog, and certainly for others. The owner should be the leader of the pack and maintain that right as the dog expects it and if the owner fails the dog will learn bad habits and take control. This can lead to many problems with your beloved pet. Many owners say that after owning an American Bull Dog (highly intelligent) they wouldn't have any other breed. So, as the above poster said these dogs are the product of their owner's treatment. ALL DOGS should be trained at group classes or one trainer with the dog and owner to have a dog you can depend on and not worry about biting or causing fights with other dogs. If the owner refuses to do so with their dog then they risk the chance of any large dog biting someone and this could lead to the death of the dog. * The American Bulldog is KNOWN for it's temperment. Research this breed FULLY before comitting to this dog. The Pitt Bull is a COUSIN to the American Bull Dog. They are highly active, working dogs, that require a lot of time and energy from their owners. If this dog is not kept active, and properly trained, then YES, they MAY become aggressive. I have been an American Bull owner for several years now, and love my breed. However, in the wrong hands, or the hands of a novice owner, this can be too powerful a dog for some to handle. I highly recommend you research the breed fully!
