About the Breed
The Bulldog is considered the national British breed and typifies
tenacity, determination and courage. In their early years,
Bulldogs were used for bull-baiting, and tended to be a longer-legged
breed than those seen today. After bull-baiting was banned
in 1835 in Britain, it was also involved in dog-fighting,
but Bulldogs proved less popular for this purpose than the
Bull Terrier. The breed could then have slipped into obscurity
but was rescued to become a popular show dog.
The appearance of the modern Bulldog is of a smooth-coated,
thick-set dog of rather low stature although broad, powerful
and compact. The head is strikingly massive in proportion
to the size of the dog. The Bulldog has undergone a dramatic
change in appearance during its long history, particularly
since the development of show standards over the past century.
Today, the Bulldog has evolved into a placid and phlegmatic
dog with a somewhat comical appearance. However, it is a sold,
muscular animal with powerful jaws. Criticisms of the breed
have been made because of its respiratory and reproductive
problems, with Caesarean section births being common because
of its relatively large head.
Bulldogs suffer badly from heat stress and should not be exercised
during the warmest part of the day. In addition, they must
never be kept enclosed in a car on their own in the summer.
All dogs are vulnerable to heat stress in such surroundings,
but Bulldogs in particular are liable to die very rapidly
under these conditions. They tend not to want a lot of exercise,
but should be given a daily walk, as this will help prevent
them from becoming obese.
In nature Bulldogs are docile and affectionate.
