English Bulldog History and Breeder Information
The AKC standard for the English Bulldog is medium size, around
40-50 pounds. English Bulldog's have a smooth coat, a large
short-face head, low swung body with wide shoulders. Today,
Bulldogs are bred as a friendly dog that interacts well with
both humans and other dogs. English
Bulldog puppies and adult dogs can be cheerful, playful,
frisky, suborn and protective. Bulldogs are know for their
unique personalities.
The English Bulldog's flat face has been know to cause breathing
problems for them. Due to this they can develop heat stroke
easier than other dogs when the weather is hot. Their short legs
make it difficult for them to swim, so they need to be monitored
when around water. Some of their other health problems may
include cataracts, hip problems, allergies, and cherry eye. Due
to their large heads in relation to their medium sized bodies,
many infant bulldogs are delivered by way of c-section to
prevent their head from being stuck in the birth
canal.
Originally, Bulldogs were bred for bullbaiting. This is a
popular betting sport during 17th century England.
The Bulldogs were trained to jump at the bull, clamp onto its
snout and try to suffocate the bull. This sport was banned in
England in 1885. After bullbaiting was banned, Bulldog clubs
began to form in Britain to help enhance the breed. Bulldogs
gained more prominence with the increasing popularity of dog
shows in Great Britain. Bulldogs quickly rose to the top of the
show dog ring and became a symbol of Great Britain. Many
universities, military institutions, and organizations
throughout the world have used the Bulldog as their mascot.
English Bulldogs have also been used in the artistic world with
countless characters and references in paintings, books, films,
performing arts, and music. Today, English Bulldogs continue to
be widely accepted as one of the most prestigious, expensive,
and sought after dogs.
