American English Bulldog Mix For Adoption in Edmonton AB – Supplies Included – Adopt Duke
Duke is a Male XXL English American Bulldog mix dog for adoption to a very loving home in or near Edmonton, Alberta.
This adorable dog is about the most loveable lug you will find. He is so sweet, almost bashful, and absolutely loves children. He is good with people of all ages and sizes, and gets along well with cats. He would be fine with dog-friendly dogs, although he might be a bit timid on first meeting a canine friend.
Duke is what we consider to be a “ready to love” dog. At just 1 year old and weighing around 90 pounds, Duke is a healthy, well-behaved, housebroken and kid and cat-friendly dog. He will need to be neutered by his new owners, but will come equipped with some supplies and accessories, most notable: an “Elsa Doll” that he cherishes after “borrowing” it from his favourite little girl.
Adopt this extremely affectionate and friendly XXL Bully in Edmonton today!

Should You Adopt an American Bulldog?
American Bulldogs are strong, loyal, and full of personality—but they’re not the right fit for every home. Before bringing one into your life, it’s important to understand both the rewards and the responsibilities that come with adopting this powerful, intelligent breed.
Below, we’ve outlined some of the key pros and cons to help you determine whether an American Bulldog is the right match for you and your family.
Pros of Adopting an American Bulldog
- Deep Loyalty and Devotion: American Bulldogs form strong bonds with their people. They are known for their loyalty and make incredibly loving companions, especially in homes where they feel secure and included.
- Great Guardians: Protective by nature, American Bulldogs can make excellent watchdogs. They’re alert, aware of their surroundings, and often naturally inclined to protect their family and home—without being unnecessarily aggressive.
- Athletic and Energetic: If you enjoy an active lifestyle, this breed can be a great fit. American Bulldogs are strong and athletic, enjoying walks, hikes, and playtime in the yard. They’re also great candidates for agility, obedience, and strength-based dog sports.
- Confident and Intelligent: These dogs are smart and eager to learn when properly motivated. With the right training and consistency, they can excel in obedience and build a strong, respectful relationship with their owner.
- Low Grooming Needs: Their short coat is easy to care for and doesn’t require frequent grooming. A quick brush once or twice a week is usually all it takes to keep them looking their best.
Cons of Adopting an American Bulldog
- Not Ideal for First-Time Dog Owners: Because of their strength, confidence, and need for firm, consistent leadership, American Bulldogs are best suited to experienced dog owners. Without structure and training, they can become hard to manage.
- Can Be Stubborn or Strong-Willed: This breed can be independent and sometimes resistant to commands—especially if they sense inconsistency or lack of follow-through from their owner. Early and ongoing training is essential.
- May Not Get Along With Other Pets: While many American Bulldogs do well with other dogs when properly socialized, they can sometimes show dominance or same-sex aggression. Caution and gradual introductions are important if you have other pets.
- High Exercise Needs: American Bulldogs are not couch potatoes. They need regular, vigorous exercise to stay happy and healthy. Without it, they may develop behavioral issues such as chewing, digging, or restlessness.
- Zoning and Breed Restrictions: Unfortunately, due to breed misconceptions, American Bulldogs may be restricted by some landlords, insurance policies, or municipalities. It’s important to check local laws and housing policies before adopting.
Is an American Bulldog Right for You?
An American Bulldog can be a wonderful companion for the right person or family—particularly those with experience handling large, confident breeds. If you’re able to offer structure, daily activity, training, and love, you may find that an American Bulldog is one of the most loyal and rewarding pets you’ll ever know.
