The only way to get you in the right direction is if you have proper registration paperwork. They are not recognized by the AKC, but are by the UKC. If you don't have the proper registration paperwork, I'm afraid you're out of luck as to proving what it is for sure. This breed does often resemble boxers sometimes.

I am a pround momma of an American Bulldog, and know a lot about the breed. They are commonly mistaken for other types of dogs, Boxers being one of those breeds. Also, there are two types of American Bulldogs, the Johnson is one of them, and I believe the other is the Scott. Its hard for most to tell American Bulldogs apart from other breeds if they are unfamiliar with the breed, but there are things you can do to guide you if you have an unregistered dog. In a full blooded dog, the nose should be black, and only black. Also, the dogs eyes should be brown, and they should be the same color. Also, your dog should not have a solid black coat. American Bulldogs can be solid white, or a color mix of white and either black, red, brown, or brindle. If you still have trouble, check out the National Kennel Club's Website. They have a lot more specific info.

If you bought her, did she have papers? Did you see the parents or at least one? If not, you will never know for sure. You will be able to make a guess when she is an adult. For now, love her, but be a leader, give her structure and rules. Make a commitment to her for her life.
Try this fun test and see if you can find the American Bulldog or the Boxer. They are both in there. Along with several other bully breeds.

The difference is in the shape of the skull.
The Boxer has a definite stop, the muzzle is prominent. The American Bulldog has a smooth slanting stop and the muzzle is smaller or rounder in appearance compared to the boxer.
The Boxer should have a slight underbite i.e. lower jaw should protrude beyond the upper jaw and bend slightly upwards.

I only have experience with pit bulls and bulldogs. The bulldog tended to tear everything apart and was not a family dog. It didn't bite or hurt the child but it bullied the child. My sister's family has 2 pit bulls and a two year old. They love and protect the two year old. They don't bite or growl or anything. They are both sweethearts who will sit in your lap(even when you don't want to lol) I have only been around one boxer and it was abused so it had problems, I will not speak positively or negatively about them.

Try comparing her to pictures of american bulldogs and boxers. But no matter what you have, both are excellent dogs. Try looking at the colors too. Boxers can be white or spotted, but usually have that classic brown and white color. They sometimes can look alike when they are young.

look up both breeds and compare pictures. from the way it sounds the person that sold you the puppy should be held accountable for poor breeding practices. you may even have a american bulldog/boxer mix. i had an amer. bulldog and everyone confused mine with a pit bull.

Boxers and bulldogs look VERY different...for one thing a bulldog is totally slobbery and has a major underbite. If you can't tell the difference, you need new glasses!

Why don't you post a pic and then have the people on here tell you their opinion....we might be able to help. If you can't post a pic, take her to the vet. You could also go to akc.org and look at pictures of each breed and compare them to your dog. Hope this helps.
