History:
Bulldogs in England were originally working dogs who drove and caught cattle and guarded their masters’ property. At one time, the breed was used in the grueling sport of bull baiting. With the outlawing of the sport in England in 1835, the original type of Bulldog, most closely resembling the current American Bulldog, disappeared from Britain and was replaced with the dog we now know as the English Bulldog. While the original Bulldog was preserved by immigrants who brought their working dogs with them to the American South, the English Bulldog was created back in England. Breeders proceeded to eliminate the original characteristics they considered undesirable by crossing the pug into the bloodlines. Over time and many generations the breed we recognize as the English Bulldog was created.
