These lean, muscular dogs have broad heads, wide shoulders, and huge hearts. American Bulldogs have longer necks and legs in proportion to their bodies and generally look like they are trying to stuff 50 pounds of dog into an adorable 25-pound sack. They have smooth, short coats of hair that help add to their trim and tight appearance.
