One thing for sure is that they really get along with children of all ages, and if kept in a good home their affectionate nature will win you over.

The history of the Bulldog is still shrouded in some mystery., although we do know its ancestors were around in certain areas of England in the early 17th century. Originally this muscular breed was developed for bull-baitng. However, the modern day descendants would not do very well in this "sport" - their aggressive tendencies have been bred out of them, and though they still have an imposing body they do not have the stamina to bring down a bull.
