A similar dog to the Alpine Dachsbracke was utilized as a hunting dog in ancient times. Between the years of 1881 and 1885, Crown Prince Rudolf of Habsburg required that Alpine Dachsbracken be included on his hunting trips. The breed was officially recognized in 1932 in Austria as the third breed of Scenthound. Austria is still considered to be the Alpine Dachsbracke’s country of origin.The ABM, as currently registered with the WWKC is a mix breed with no recognizable standard. F1 out crosses are not part of any breed. The dogs are bred somewhat to type, but that is all. There is no "origin" for the breed, it's a mix of APBT, DDB, Rottweiler, Mastiff and others.
Maintenance
American Bull Molossers enjoy a daily brushing, but it is not necessary. A bath in mild shampoo on a monthly basis will be sufficient. As with any other dog, the American Bull Molosser needs his teeth cleaned and his nails trimmed on a regular basis.Ideal Environment
American Bull Molossers need a tidy, stable, healthy environment. This being said, the breed is capable of living in any size of living situation. A yard is ideal, but frequent walks and other forms of exercise can make up for the excessive time spent indoors. Obedience training is especially helpful and important for the well-being and happiness of this breed.

American Bull Molosser
Great dogs, are very smart and alert. Can be a little bull headed but with proper socialization and training bond very tightly with there family. They are super protective of the family by nature.
Pros: They are content being with there owner, they do not need much excersise. Very formidable, but if well socialized they are great with people and other dogs if handled properly.
Cons: They need a firm but fair handler. Not for the owner who does not obiediance train.
