Legend

American Bulldog

Male, Young

Petersburg, VA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Legend was acquired in NC from a reputable breeder who specializes in American Bull Dogs. He has been a part of our family since he was 16 weeks old. He is 5 yrs old now. Legend was raised in a home with no other pets, or children, he only knows his human parents. And for that reason, I think he would do fit better in a home without kids. He was raised mostly indoors and is completely house trained, not neutered and knows his basic commands and is a great watch dog. I think Legend would really benefit from a home with at least one other dog. I think he needs that sort of interaction and companionship. Legend would be best paired with an experienced handler. Someone with the patience and abilitly to handle a large and sometime stubborn dog. Going to the Vet is one of Legend’s biggest obstacles. If you have the patience and experience to retrain Legend to adjust to your home and lifestyle, please reach out and set up a meet and greet. He will make a great Pet.

Story

I got him from someone who had an accidental litter of puppies at 8 weeks old. He was born January 15, 2024. He loves any sort of enrichment activity and knows a few commands. He tends to get over excited in public areas and will bark and jump. He is a great dog I just don’t have the resources to care for all of his needs.
