Word origin

The term 'bulldog' has its roots in the history of bull-baiting, a cruel sport that involved setting dogs upon a tethered bull. The 'bull' in 'bulldog' reflects the breed's original purpose as a bull-fighter. The breed was first recognized in England, where it was developed from the now-extinct Bulldogge. In the 19th century, as bull-baiting was banned, breeders began to focus on shaping the bulldog into a companionable pet with a more docile temperament, and they became increasingly popular among families. Their loyalty and resilience cemented their status as a beloved breed, and modern bulldogs are known for their unique appearance and friendly nature.
