Welcome to White Knight American
Bulldogs. The reason I named my American Bulldogs, "White Knight American
Bulldogs" is because I have always been very interested in the Middle Ages. I
learned that was the time period of the true European (English) working bulldog
1500’s to 1700’s (Alant, Bonddogge, Bandogge, Butchers Dog, Bulldog).
In the 1800’s they began infusing Terrier blood
to the bulldog they wanted a faster dog that was also more agile for Pit
Fighting. Bull baiting was then illegal and you needed less space for illegal
pit fighting than Bull and Bear baiting (1835). That explains why the English
show bulldogs are smaller (1900’s).
The reason I like the name "Knight" to describe
my bulldogs is because the definition of knight (In the Webster’s Random House
Dictionary) 1. (In the Middle Ages) a man raised to honorable military rank and
bound to Chivalrous conduct. Next look up the word chivalrous and you
will see 1. Of chivalry, 2. Having the qualities of a Knight, as
Courage, Courtesy, and Loyalty. Under chivalry it says "the
institution of medieval knighthood. Need I say more? And White is because I
believe the original American Bulldog was mostly white because they were also
called, Old English Whites, Ol’ Country Whites,
Ol' Southern Whites and White English.
NOW YOU
KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF WHITE KNIGHT AMERICAN BULLDOGS !
The reason I chose the breeding
stock I have now is, because they do the work of the original Bulldogs, which is
catch work. Never in all of the books I have read on Bulldog history (English
bulldog, Pit Bull) have I read a mention of weight pulling (American Pull Dogs?)
or protection (American Protection Dogs?) All of the early readings of old
Bulldogs of the 1500-1700’s were all about hunting and
catching large dangerous animals such as Boar, Bear, Stag, Wild cattle and
baiting Bulls And Bear ! Now seams as good a time as any to mention a
word many Bulldog breeders would like you to forget ready, here it is
GAMENESS! That’s right what is a Bulldog
without the word gameness (a show dog)? That’s what separates our breed (and Pit
Bulls) from all of the other breeds. Not to say my dogs won’t protect, It’s that
if they do now you have a dog that an intruder would have to literally kill to
stop from protecting your family’s life. Many protection dogs of today have
never been proven as game. Winning each session of protection work since it was
a puppy is not a true test of gameness, and unfortunately it has been bred out
of them.

Notice: the Amazing
similarity the dog on the Top Left has
to
OUR
JJ
And the dog on the
bottom right has to
OUR
HOG
HAMMER
They share the same build
required to do
TRUE BULLDOG WORK
Also notice 2 out of 3 dogs are
WHITE !!!!! |

My breeding stock has been
tested on Wild Boar Hog only IN THE WOODS (not domestic pen pigs). My male Hog Hammer was
catching Wild Boar Hogs since he was 6 months old at Jay Dorsey’s Trophy Hunters
Lodge everyday not just weekends for recreation. He caught for a living as seen
on the 1997 Trophy Hunters lodge show tape and my video. Jay Dorsey said
"He
(Hammer) surpasses most American’s I’ve seen, as a matter of fact I’ve never
seen an American Bulldog as good as him. I’ve never seen an American Bulldog
raised by any kennel nowhere that got the athletic ability, the drive or the
heart that he’s got. I mean he is a super dog when it comes to American
Bulldogs".
He considers
Flash (Hines Snowbird) his Boss Hog and his other Bulldogs "White Bulldogs" not
American Bulldogs. Thanks Jay for your kind words and for Hog Hammer. And thanks
to James and Laura Stout for breeding Hog Hammer at Hillside Kennels.

HOG HAMMER OFA
GOOD CD3 CGC
Rest in Peace |

Hog Hammer is a
great dog to own. He does not bark all day, but when there is
a strange face in our yard "he will sure let us know"!! He is
always glad to see me and is so affectionate you would think he
wouldn't hurt a fly. When agitated he showed us he has what it
takes to do protection. When he has a job to do he does it and
is the sweetest dog in the world right afterward. He is great
with kids and people , not dog aggressive
Yet so hard on
Boar. |

We were
very fortunate to get Pretty Patches from our friend Gary Fuller
at Fullers American Bulldogs in CA.. She was originally
purchased from Joe Montalbo and is straight Kershners. She is
out of Montalbo's White Lighting and Montalbo's Beauty. She
weighs 70 lbs.. At 14 months her OFA Pre-Lem was GOOD and her
Penn-Hip was LH .38 RH .29 with NO- DJD. Patches is a proven
catch dog and has had 1 litter before we got her. Out of this
litter dogs are catching and doing protection. (2 Gary kept
Fullers Buster and Fullers Petey). I have always said if I
could find a Painter dog that catches and was not dog aggressive
(and had Scott dogs in the background ) I would love to own it.
Well
here she is Fuller's Pretty Patches. |

I Can't Begin to tell
you how Proud I am to have O'l JJ here .. I have been keeping
tabs on this dog Since birth . When the Chance came to buy him
"All I Can Say Is I Jumped On It "!!
JJ was bred by the
Stout's and originally owned by Denny Alvarez in Ga. Denny named
him JJ in honor of Jay Dorsey and James Stout two men
responsible for producing him. JJ is a Littermate to
our Hog Wild Woman . I have been told JJ might be the BEST Catch
Dog I have . He has hunted in the Wild in Georgia since he was
6 months old and Caught ! He has caught Some Rank Boar by
himself with no Cut Collar or Vest on. And has even Caught a
Cow once before we got him. JJ is a
Very Affectionate dog But Keeps Strangers Away until we say its
ok !!
He is out of Stouts
Boss Hog and Stouts Quija
To say it Best, He is a
EXCEPTIONAL Dog, Out Of AN EXCEPTIONAL BREEDING !!

Hog Wild Woman
OFA GOOD at 45 months
Rest in Peace |
|
|
Hog
Wild Woman is a daughter of Stout’s Boss Hog and a Littermate to
Our Stud Dog JJ.
Boss
has been catching Wild Boar for so many years its been said he
has probably caught more Boar Hog than any dog in the country.
That could be true because for so many years he caught hogs
everyday for Trophy Hunters Lodge. There is no replacing Boss
Hog so I bought a bitch out of him. I named her Hog Wild Woman.
Woman’s mother Ouija (a Kombat Littermate)also Worked at the
lodge and is a very well built bitch with high prey drive. The
Stout’s have had success breeding Oujia to Boss and
WOMAN IS NOW
CATCHING!!
She has been barking at the door as long as we can remember.
Woman is one of the most boldest dogs I've
ever seen she is afraid of Nothing ! She has Great Nerves !
She is built Real Well and can Really Move ! I have
never seen this bitch tired or not able to keep up with any dog
of Any size or Breed Exercising including a 40lb. Pit Bull
or a Springer Spaniel. She shows us a very high prey
drive yet she is Very Stable around Children and is
Not At
All dog aggressive.

SISTER SLEDGE OFA FAIR
Rest in Peace |
|
|
Now
lets talk about Sister Sledge. WOW !! What a Bitch!"
It has been said she is a half sister
to Stout’s Boss Hog . She is a littermate
sister to Dixie War dogs Ice Man. (Both game catch dogs). She is
hard on boar and super sweet with us. She is the first to bark
if there is a strange face in my yard. Sissy’s 1st
and 2nd catches were on Wild Boar Hogs.
As a matter of fact on her 2nd boar (100lb plus dog
fighter) with razor sharp tusks 4 dogs (including her) were cut.
She never quit at only 15 months old and was cut under her chin
and on her left shoulder (as seen on my video). Sometimes the
smaller hogs are more dangerous because their tusks are not too
long to curl out of the way. They poke straight up and are razor
sharp. They are also much faster and don’t tire as quickly. As
sweet as she is, she is very game and has a lot of fight drive.
She is hard on "Man Or Beast"! |

You will hear
a lot of American Bulldog breeders tell you about the Bulldogs history
pertaining to their dogs and then they will show you a dog that is not much
better than the English Bulldog of today (just bigger). They will also mention
Bull Baiting and then they will show you their dogs doing weight pulling. They
will teach you that the original Bulldog was used by butchers for Bull Baiting
because it was illegal to sell a steer that wasn’t baited first. You will learn
that Bulldogs or Butcher’s Dogs were once owned by butchers for that reason.
Well they still are (of course I don’t Bull Bait I Hog Hunt). I am the co-owner
of Citarella’s Meats and Deli. A fourth generation family store since 1901. My
Bulldogs can still do what the Original Bulldogs did. If you are interested in
owning a True Bulldog every bit as good as its Original Ancestors,
