What is the Difference Between The Australian Bulldog and The British Bulldog? A comparison.
Saturday, December 1st, 2007This is one of our most frequently asked questions regarding the breed. What are the major differences between the Aussie Bulldog and the British Bulldog?
We are going to attempt to answer this in this blog post, however we are certain that other breeders and lovers of the breed will have varying opinions, which they can feel free to also share with everyone.
We believe the major differences can be summed up as those relating to:
- Health
- Conformation
- Stamina and overall ability
- Watch/guard dog ability
- Cost of living (associated with vet bills)
- Affordability (last we looked registered British Bulldogs are between $2500-$3000, Aussie’s are generally more in the range of $500-$1500 depending on quality). Funny that-British breeders say they are so expensive because their hard to breed- Aussie’s are just as hard to breed, not for beginners!
- Australian Bulldogs are not recognised by the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC), therefore you cannot show them as you would a British Bulldog.
