Bred to be Savage But Gentile Now The Bulldog’s History
The bulldog originated in Britain in the 16th century for bull baiting, gaining a reputation for courage and a strong grip. By 1835 bull-baiting was illegal, clubs formed to save the breed, and modern bulldogs are gentle show dogs with a fierce heritage. They spread to the United States with settlers and became popular in kennels and fighting circles before standards by the American Kennel Club defined a medium, stout, short-faced breed now among America’s top 20.
