Most American Bulldog breeders in Canada are small home programs, so the checking falls to the buyer. These are four things worth asking any breeder to show you, and where our own answers are already published rather than promised. The full list is the 12 questions.
Ask for the pedigree before you ask about price. Every Rosebull dog has a public five-generation pedigree on pedigreedatabase.ca, so you can verify the line in about 30 seconds without waiting on a PDF.
Ask what was tested and what was not. We publish PennHIP hip scores and the Embark panel for NCL, Ichthyosis and HUU on each dog's own page, including the gaps. Orla is an Ichthyosis carrier and her page says so.
Ask what happens to your money if a litter does not arrive. Our price, the payment schedule, what is refundable and what is not, and the 18-month term are published on the deposit policy page.
Ask this before you fall in love with a photo. We are in Harvey, New Brunswick, and place puppies across Canada by in-person pickup, Cargojet air cargo, or a puppy nanny. Ontario buyers are delivered to, not driven to.

The American Bulldog is a large, athletic working breed, bred originally as a farm utility dog across the southern United States. The breed nearly disappeared after World War II before being revived by breeders including John D. Johnson and Alan Scott.
Two types carry those names. The Johnson type, also called Classic or Bully, is heavier and broader with a blockier head, bred toward family protection and guard work. The Scott type, also called Standard, is leaner and more athletic, bred for catch-dog and farm-utility work. Rosebull breeds the Classic type only. See Classic vs Bully American Bulldog for the full breakdown, including why Classic, Bully and Johnson all mean the same dog.
American Bulldogs are loyal, protective, and bond hard to one family. They need consistent training from puppyhood; this is not a breed that trains itself.
Every Rosebull American Bulldog traces to a verified pedigree on pedigreedatabase.ca. PennHIP on hips, OFA on elbows going forward, Embark on the genetic panel, all published on the dog's own page.
Yes. Every Rosebull puppy is registered with the American Bulldog Registry and Archives (ABRA) and comes with its ABRA registration, a written health guarantee, microchip, and lifetime breeder support. Registration records the pedigree; breeding rights are separate and granted in writing.
One type: Classic, also called Bully. Temperament, structure, and health drive every breeding decision.

A large, athletic working breed originally bred as a farm utility dog across the southern United States. The breed nearly disappeared after World War II before being revived by breeders including John D. Johnson and Alan Scott. Loyal, protective, and needs consistent training from puppyhood.

None. Classic and Bully are two names for the same type, the Johnson type: heavier, broader, with a blockier head. The leaner, more athletic type is called Standard or Scott. Rosebull breeds the Classic type. See our full Classic vs Bully breakdown for the details.
PennHIP hip evaluation and the Embark genetic panel covering NCL, Ichthyosis, and HUU. We publish what each dog has actually had done, and what it has not. Orla is an Ichthyosis carrier. Every sire we breed to is Ichthyosis clear, so her puppies are either clear or carriers and none of them can be affected. Carriers are healthy dogs, and Orla's puppies are placed on non-breeding terms. Every result is listed on the dog's own page and verifiable on pedigreedatabase.ca.
