History of the English Bulldog

The English Bulldog comes from the ancient Asian Mastiff, a race dog that came to Great Britain by the Phoenician seafarers. The Bulldog was used to fight the bull or other malicious carnivores such as the bears and the lions. Organized dogfights were also a daily occurrence until 1835 when this harsh habit was outlawed in England. After that, the reproduction of pure Bulldogs was rare. The selective play has since transformed the Bulldog into a beloved family pet.
