Bulldogs
Originally bred to bait bulls in medieval times the bulldog was built to endure rough treatment. Once bull-baiting was outlawed in the 1800's the breed nearly faced extinction. Thanks to many dedicated hobbyists the breed was brought back from the brink and selectively bred into the docile easy-going dog you see today. Questions regarding the care and history of bulldogs are welcome here.

Olde English Bulldogs look more like American bulldogs than English bulldogs: they are larger, leaner, have long uncurled tails, are mostly unwrinkled and are not or are not to the same degree as brachycephalic (meaning having a short snout) as their English counterparts. English bulldogs in contrast, are short, stout, stocky/heavily built, brachycephalic, wrinkly, and are low energy.
If the owner treats the dog aggresively or plays with the dog aggressively then the dog is more likely to become aggressive as they think its the right way to behave.
The boxer as a breed is a bright energetic playful breed and are normally good with children. They are not a vicious breed but if provoked then it will react the way it thinks it should whether its barking chasing or biting. Like all dogs, they need socialization.

Is an American bulldog mixed with pit bull stronger than a full blooded pitt?
As a Pit Bull owner and an American Bulldog lover, there is a fine line on depicting rather an American Bulldog mixed with Pit is stronger than a full blooded Pit Bull. First, I will level the field by saying it does not matter rather the canine is full blooded or mixed when strength is the only quality measured. The amount of strength will depend on some fundamentals such as: the genetics of the canine, size, determination, will, health, etc. The deciding factors of which will reign superior in strength could derive from which breed exercised better, had the best meal and good night's sleep or which was the most alert on that day.

Experiencing them bottled up into one pet could arguably present the strongest and most fun-filled relationship witnessed.
