Bulldog

The Bulldog is a beloved breed with a long and storied history.

Originating in England, the Bulldog was bred to be a fierce fighter in the cruel sport of bull-baiting.

This muscular, powerful breed was known for its tenacity and courage, traits that remain today.

In 1835, bull-baiting was outlawed in England, and the Bulldog's purpose changed.

Breeders began to focus on creating a more docile, gentle dog, and the Bulldog we know today was born.

With its short, stocky build, wrinkled face, and signature underbite, the Bulldog is now a beloved companion and family pet.

Its loyal, affectionate nature and endearing appearance have made it one of the most popular breeds in the world.
