English Bulldog - Originally bred from a Mastiff-type dog introduced by the Phoenicians in the sixth century B.C. to attack bulls for the purpose of public entertainment. 'Bull Baiting' had been established in Britain for over 600 years before being made illegal in 1835.

Today's Bulldog is of a very different temperment from its forebearers. It is gentle, affectionate and loyal to it's owners but still has excellent guarding qualities.

Recognised by The Kennel Club in 1873
