Joshua's Sand Valley Sam aka "Cowboy" OFA Excellent UCD III,

Cowboy was the first OFA Excellent (AMB28E39M-T) male Bulldog in the world. The "Cowboy strain" of American bulldog is a complete outcross to the contemporary modern American Bulldog. Contemporary meaning, strains of Bulldogs made popular in the past 30 years by breeders such as Alan Scott, John D. Johnson, Williamson, Painter, Tate, etc. The "Cowboy strain" is the popular choice of many breeders in America and abroad to broaden the American Bulldog gene pool. "Cowboy" winner of Best Veteran Male at the 1998 National Specialty Show as well as an UCD III (Utility Catch Dog Highest Level) Titled Bulldog was truly a remarkable animal. Cowboy has produced 4 generations of certified hips, but more importantly, 4 generations of ol' fashioned Bulldogs that are willing to do modern day work, such as, show conformation, home protection, shutzhund, french ring, etc.
