8. American Bulldog – Strong and Determined
American Bulldogs are strong, athletic dogs with a long history of being used for farm work, including guarding livestock and property.
While they are generally friendly and affectionate toward their families, American Bulldogs can be aggressive toward strangers or other animals if not properly socialized.
Their size, strength, and protective nature make them formidable dogs that require experienced handlers who can provide firm leadership and consistent training.
