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!

cute-english-bulldogs.jpgSometimes 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!

    My English is very healthy she came from a breeder ,not all breeders are out there to make a loads of money ,so instead of calling out English Bulldog breeders why not call out the owners of the all the unwanted mutts shelter dogs that they obviously don’t care about their dog gets pregnant so let’s just dump the pups off at the already overcrowded shelters .

    What causes the genetic issues you refer to are unscrupulous breeders who breed knowing one, or both parents, have genetic issues. Or worse the idiots who think they can breed bulldogs with no experience of the breed to make a quick buck, That’s a fact.

    I have a BRITISH BULLDOG (because folks that’s the correct name for this breed not English and its associated with great Britain from ww2 not just England) with no issues other than an allergy. An allergy my previous dog had which was a staff bull terrier. And olde English is a mongrel. Fact. By mixing British with amercian and pit. They are not British bulldogs so please don’t compare the two!

    My boys mother give birth to there litter naturally. He has no hip displaysia, no cherry eye etc.

    So your comment is a load of rhubarb quite frankly and insulting to all the excellent and responsible breeders of the British bulldog.
