English Bulldog History

Before becoming one of the popular show dogs today, the English Bulldog breed’s ancestors were first bred for bull baiting. This breed is a descendant of ancient Mastiffs that came from Asia but were brought to the European continent by nomads. Mastiffs were bred in the past for more “violent” work, such as tackling and bringing down aggressive prey and fighting.

Bulldogs were used for bull baiting because their wide lower jaws and short muzzles were very important in clamping down on a bull’s nose. The nose had to be upturned so that even with a vise-like grip on the bull, the dog could still breathe. The breed has even gained popularity in many historical works, most especially in the work of Shakespeare, King Henry VI. In 1835, when animal baiting contests were forbidden in England, the dogs were then exported to America and Germany and helped to create the Boxer breed. The rest of the working Bulldog in England were then crossbred with Pugs in order to create a family pet that is docile and stocky – now known as the English Bulldog. This breed was first registered by AKC in 1934.
