History
The American Pugabull is a hybrid dog breed that is created by mixing the American Bulldog and the Pug. The American Bulldog is a descendant of the English Bulldog, which was brought to America by early settlers. The Pug is a descendant of the Chinese Pug, which was brought to Europe in the 1600s. The American Pugabull was created in the United States in the 1800s.
The American Pugabull breed almost became extinct in the early 1900s. This was due to two factors: first, many of the Bulldogs used for breeding were killed during World War I; and second, the popularity of other breeds (such as the Boston Terrier) increased, while the popularity of Bulldogs decreased. However, there were a few breeders who kept the American Pugabull alive.
The American Pugabull became popular again in the late 1900s and early 2000s. This was due to two factors: first, celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears began owning Pugs; and second, more people began living in urban areas, where smaller dogs are more practical. Today, there are many different types of American Pugabulls, with varying degrees of Bulldog and Pug ancestry.
