Bulldogs have large heads with a distinctly sour expression that is created by their seriously undershot jaw, large drooping jowls and wrinkled, flat faces. Their short legs have a bowed appearance, but are in fact straight. Though today's Bulldog looks tough, he cannot perform the job he was originally created for as he cannot withstand the rigors of running and being thrown by a bull, and also cannot grip with such a short muzzle.Įnglish Bulldogs are short, compact, incredibly muscular and broad dogs. In time they were crossed with the pug and the outcome was a shorter, wider dog with a brachycephalic skull. Within a few generations, the English Bulldog became one of the finest physical and temperamental specimens among canines, with its original viciousness completely gone.

Luckily a number of fanciers attempted to preserve this fine breed, to retain its good qualities without promoting its bad ones. In 1885 bull and dog fighting became illegal in England so as they were now no longer of use the breed was in threat of disappearing. The original Bulldog must have been ferocious, powerful, courageous, savage, vicious and almost immune to pain. They were bred specifically for the purpose of bull-baiting (hens their name Bulldog), a cruel so-called “sport” that pitted a dog against a bull for a fight to the death. This breed was created, sometime in the 1500s or 1600s in the British Isles from the ancient Asiatic mastiff.

The history of the English Bulldog is unfortunately a violent one.
