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.
