| Origin |
Originating in England, the Bulldog
is a descendent of the Asiatic mastiff. Originally used in baiting, an
inhumane sport where the bulldog was sent into an arena to try to overpower
or kill animals larger than them, usually bulls. It was also used as a
hunting dog and guarddog. |
| Description |
Despite what they were used for
in the past, the Bulldog is a gentle, family oriented dog. They are loyal,
loving and crave attention. They are good with children, family pets and
family dogs. They might be territorial with other dogs that they don't
know. They make excellent watchdogs and are protective of their families.
They are not high energy dogs and require minimal exercise. They should
not overexert themselves in hot weather. They would rather take a rambling
walk with their owner than run and play hard. Makes an excellent apartment
or city dog. |
| Health |
The bulldog should not overexert
themselves, especially in the heat as they are prone to heat strokes.
Most require a cesarean section when delivering. Problems with hip dysplasia,
skin infections/allergies, eye problems and digestive problems. |
