The history of the type

The English bulldog is the descendant of an ancient fighting dog. The ancestor was a dog-typed, molossoid dog which was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans to hunt and fighting actions (games). Probably the English bulldog was taken to England by merchants, and its role was to amuse people by fighting with bulls for over 600 years. These dogs were more aggressive, had longer legs than present-day bulldogs. Fortunately animal fighting's were prohibited in 1835, that's why English bulldogs became "unemployment’s". In addition, this type was attacked by societies for animal protection. In the middle of the 19th century, dog exhibitions came into fashion, and due to the popular exhibitions this type avoided the whole destruction. The English bulldog breeders established clubs and created the standard of the type.

This dog seems to be lazy and inert, but, at the same time it can run incredibly quickly. It jumps as a rubber ball, up to 1,5 metres as well. It can be charged with guarding and protecting. If it has to fight, the ancient wildness gets up. The English bulldog does not know neither defeat nor resignation, so it is not recommended to let it fighting with other dogs. This is the most decided and bold among dogs. Although the dog seems to be surly, it is very playful.
