Are bull terriers good guard dogs?

2nd Answer:

Yes. They were originally bred back in England around the 1800s to be the guard dogs for the gameskeepers who guarded the King's estate. People would often poach game on the King's estate & that was a big no no then. So the Bullmastiff came into being. Originally bred from 60% Mastiff & 40% bullmastiff was the foundation breeding. But keep in mind that back then the Bulldog was much larger & more aggressive. The breed was bred to pin & hold their prey, not to savage it as the King liked to hang the poacher in public as an example to other would be poachers. It also had to be a quiet & gentle breed so that it could live with the Gameskeepers & their families & to hunt by the Gameskeepers side which meant that they had to be quiet. The breed was recognized in the United States in the late 1920's I believe.

Do you have to have a lience to breed an English bull terrier?

If you are breeding for the AKC or another established dog club, you need registration. However, if you are breeding "just to breed" or for money (also called backyard breeding), you may want to hold out. Dogs can carry genetic defaults (Hip Dysplasia among others) and passing along those defaults only adds to the large number of poorly bred dogs to begin with. Dog breeding is also VERY expensive - can you care properly for the puppies? This includes worming and puppy vaccines. What if your dog has complications during labor, can you afford an emergency vet visit? There are many things to consider before breeding your dogs, and sometimes the answer is to NOT to breed and to fix your dog. There are too many homeless dogs (purebred and not); breeding your dog should not be a priority unless you are improving the breed by "breeding out" genetic defaults and common problems with the breed.

What is the difference between AKC and NKC?

The AKC does NOT register American Bulldogs. The American Bulldog is not a mixed breed and can be registered with both the NKC (national kennel club) and UKC (United Kennel Club).

It is not recognized by the AKC for several reasons including the fact that the breed's original Breed club the ABA (American Bulldog Association) as well as many other AB fanciers are firmly against AKC recognition. Many are afraid that recognition by the American Kennel Club will be detrimental to the breeds working heritage; one look at AKC German Shepherd Dogs will give you the reason behind this fear.

There are two varieties of the American Bulldog: the standard and the bully. The NKC, which is the third oldest All Breed Registry in the United States, recognizes the two standards as two varieties of the same breed. This is similar to the AKC Beagle standard which has two varieties, the 13" and the 15", of the same breed. At NKC sanctioned conformation events the Standard dogs are shown separately from the Bullies until the Best in Show. United Kennel Club only recognizes one variety of the standard which is often referred to as the Hybrid Standard (a blend of the standard and bully).
