History

Bulldogs are mentioned in historical texts from 500 years ago. Originally, these dogs helped people manage cattle on livestock farms. They were also used in bull-baiting, a brutal sport where the outcome was either the bull or the dog surviving the fight. Bulldogs were bred to be aggressive, with some reaching up to 80 pounds, specifically for these deadly contests. However, in the mid-19th century, these cruel events were banned by law. Despite this, the breed survived as bulldogs were transported from the UK to other European countries and North America. They resumed their role as protectors of livestock, especially in areas where it was difficult to install fences due to the terrain. Today, bulldogs are known for being cute, kind, and affectionate pets, loyal to their owners and great with children. They are truly good friends.
