Once exploited in the illicit sports of bull baiting and pit fighting, the English Bulldog, a sweet-tempered, dignified and loveable dog is now considered among some of the most popular family pets. Originating in Britain, the English Bulldog descends from the Mastiff breeds and selectively bred to overcome a bull or hold it's own in the pit - thus the rather unique physical stature. When laws were made forbidding these inhumane sports, English Bulldog breed fanciers began to preserve promote and protect the breed as a valued family pet. The English Bulldog was one of the first breeds to be granted official recognition when The Kennel Club (England) was organized in 1873. English Bulldogs are short, heavy-set dogs that can weigh as much as 50 pounds. The English Bulldog's fine, straight and flat coat comes in shades of brindle, white, red or piebald. These stable, intelligent, loving and affectionate dogs make exceptional family pets. English Bulldogs love attention, and get along well with other dogs, children and family pets. English Bulldogs do well in almost any type of living quarters, from city apartments to country acreages. English Bulldog grooming requirements are moderate; they should receive a thorough brushing once a week, and their wrinkles should be cleaned daily (an easy 5 minute task). English Bulldogs tend to drool a little bit. They snore too!
English Bulldog Breed History:
As British as Big Ben, the English Bulldog is believed to have evolved from the Molossian dog first brought to Britain by Phoenician traders in the 6th century BC. The English Bulldog breed was exploited in the sport of bull baiting, a practice that existed from Roman times. Though the English Bulldog may appear to be oddly made, each point of its structure was bred into the breed to aid or protect it while attempting to overcome a bull. When bull baiting was outlawed early in the 19th century, the future looked bleak for the English Bulldog until a handful of breeders set to preserving this breed that had become a symbol of British courage and tenacity. When The Kennel Club (England) was organized in 1873, the English Bulldog was among the first of the breeds to be recognized.
