The Bulldog
The Bulldog, colloquially known as the British Bulldog or English Bulldog, is a medium-size breed of dog that originated in England. The bulldog is a non-sporting breed of dogs with a brindle, solid white, red or fawn colored coat or any of these colors on a white background on the coat. Descendants of the Asiatic mastiff, bulldogs were first bred in Great Britain to participate in the blood sport of bull baiting. That’s where they get their names from: bull baiting à bulldogs. And that’s not it, these bulldogs weren’t only used for bull baiting, they were also used against bears and other dangerous carnivores such as lions. During the 19th century, anti-baiting laws were passed where bulldogs could no more be used for bull baiting hence purebred bulldogs became extremely rare. However, in today’s world, this very same bulldog which was once upon a time a ferocious creature used for bull baiting and against bears, lions and other carnivores, is now a loving and gentle pet quite suitable to be used for dog shows thanks to its obedience.
English bulldogs are quite interesting to look at, with short bodies, wide shoulders and thick and strong legs bulldogs walk as if they shuffle. These lovely creatures walk with an attitude like they own the world, with their noise up straight, they march ahead with confidence as if they know where they’re going.
These friendly and lovely creatures are really fun to be with. They might look ferocious and angry, but they’re gentle and loving. Bulldogs make amazing pets especially because they look really attractive and royal. The commanding walk that is unique to the bulldog may be the primary reason for that, but the bulldog is quite an attractive.
