What do England, the U.S. Marines, Yale University, University of Georgia, and dozens of other schools all have in common?
The dog they have all chosen to represent their tough, tenacious characters. That dog? Why, it's the Bulldog, of course!
Sometimes called the English Bulldog or the British Bulldog, the breed originated in England and has a bloody past.
It descended from fighting mastiffs that were brought to the British Isles by the Romans and was used in a bloody sport called bullbaiting.
Today, however, the Bulldog only slightly resembles his ancestors in appearance. And all of the ferociousness that he exhibited in the bullbaiting pens? Gone for good.
Despite his still ferocious appearance, you'd be hard-pressed to find a dog with a sweeter, more loving disposition. They are friendly, social, calm, balanced, compassionate, stubborn, proud and persevering.
If you are considering to own an English Bulldog, or you’ve just become a new English Bulldog owner, there are some realities you do need to fully accept.
Check out the twelve realities new English Bulldog owners must accept on the next page!…and if you already are an English Bulldog owner, see if you can relate!

Love my Cooper Wayne, he is the best fur baby I have ever had the privilege of owning. He has so much personality, it is so easy to train him to do anything. I can’t hardly stand the thought of him passing. He will soon be 6 yrs old. ❤❤❤

We’ve had a couple at various points as foster fogs and they vary in looks but the breed as i understand it are a mix of boxer and british bull dog so they have longer legs, not as stocky and have a longer snout. Only ever seen them brindle and white too so dont think you get the tan and white vatiety like you do with British Bulldogs
