Etymology
The term 'bulldogging' originated in the United States during the late 19th century, deriving its name from the act of wrestling a bull, which was often likened to the behavior of bulldogs. Rodeo events began to gain popularity among cowboys who sought to showcase their skills in various cattle-related tasks. Bulldogging was one of the events that emerged from these informal competitions. By the early 20th century, bulldogging had become an established part of professional rodeos. As cowboys demonstrated their prowess in capturing and controlling steers, the sport evolved, leading to the standardized rules we see in modern rodeos today.
