The English Bulldog originated in Great Britain where they were used in bull baiting.  Because they had to attack bulls, the first Bulldogs were aggressive and ferocious dogs.  However, dog fighting became illegal in England in the 19th century and today’s Bulldogs have little in common with their ancestors.

One of the most popular dogs in the United States (and worldwide), the English Bulldog is one of the gentlest dogs out there.  Determined and courageous, they would do anything for their humans.  Also, they are amazing with kids and other household animals.  Bulldogs are dogs that require a lot of human attention and they cannot be owned and ignored.
