There is much moot about how we came to know the Bulldog, the predecessor to today's English and French Bulldogs. Many canine historians believe it is the ensue of cross breeding a Pug with a Bullmastiff. Indeed, we can see similarities in an English Bulldog's "smashed in muzzle" to that of the beloved Pug. We can also see a close resemblance in the middle of today's Bulldogs and Bullmastiffs, especially in their hindquarters.
If you have ever seen a photo of the early bulldogs, they look as if dinky the English Bulldog we know and love today. Shorter in stature, by nearly half today, what was once a more angled head is now round, wide with a protruding jaw.
Australian Shepherd Dog Breeders
Although English Bulldogs have only been recognized as a breed since 1902, they share many coarse traits with their cousins and grandparents, the Bulldogs. Bulldogs, as they name might imply, were bred to bait bulls in the bullring. Dating back to the mid 1500s in England, people, in their infinite wisdom put bulldogs in the middle of bullfights to entice the bulls into doing what they do, thanks to blend of testosterone and people's need for a show. In the process, these dogs were often pinched, abused and even eviscerated.

Although it would take 300 years, the British ultimately outlawed this inhumane act in 1835. This left an whole breed of dogs with no job. Cruel is it sounds, knowing that every dog is bred for a job and now this dog's job has been eliminated, now what?
Loving definite corporal traits of the Bulldog, but not the temperament, breeders went to work to generate the one we adore today. Indeed, a far kinder version of the ferocious one who held his own against a bull, English Bulldogs are without a doubt, one of the sweetest of breeds.
Although more prone to hip dysplasia, overall, are larger breed dogs, such as German Shepherds, Akitas and Australian Shepherds, the English Bulldog has a opening of developing the hip dysplasia in his lifetime. This can be directly attributable to favoring the shorter, stockier bulldog over the taller version of the 1700 and 1800s.
Hip dysplasia is what happens when the hip socket, called the acetabelum, is malformed, causing the round end of the femur to rub against it, because it's no longer fitting in properly. This causes arthritis, which if you've ever suffered from, you know that it's painful.
It's a persisting condition that over time tends to worsen because the more the two bones rub against one another, the more inflamed the point of touch becomes, which results in throbbing discomfort.
There are myriad of rehabilitation options available to both prolong your companion's life and minimize his suffering. From analgesics to acupuncture to surgery, you have many alternatives to consider.
If you are considering getting an English Bulldog, you are reasoning about bringing one of the sweetest breeds into your home. While it can be argued that while selectively breeding for a smaller, stockier bulldog of yesteryear, one trait that is genuinely convenient is the temperament of the English Bulldog.
English Bulldogs, although small and slow (with quick bursts of short persisting energy), went from one of the more vicious to one of the more docile of breeds. He lives to be right next to you, either that means on a walk or beside you as you read. Content to be relegated to the floor next to your chair or bed, his mission to feel your love and in return he will love you with all things he has available.
Your English Bulldog is one of the best companions you could ask for. If you have ever seen how gentle they are with kids, there will be no doubt in your mind why he's the 14th most beloved breed in the United States.
