Some sources also include the Aussie Bulldog (Australian Bulldog) in the list of designer dogs, but the Australian Bulldog's origin is quite different from the dogs mentioned here. There is also the Valley Bulldog, a boxer and bulldog mix, who may be included here, even though this is not a first generation dog hybrid.
