A New Purpose
Once bull-baiting was outlawed in the UK, there would be no further need for the breed, and they
would probably become extinct. But a few fans of the breed saved it by giving the Bulldog a new
purpose. This is when the English Bulldog made the beautiful change from a fighting breed to a family
breed.
The Bulldog’s character changed over the years from an aggressive and vicious fighter, to a loving and
loyal family friend. Nowadays, a Bulldog will rather avoid a fight and is considered one of the most
gentle, calm and loyal breeds.

New Era
Over the years the look of the Bulldog started to change as well.
They became smaller, stockier and got a more flattened face.
There is a lot of discussion whether this was accomplished
merely by selectively breeding smaller dogs or cross-breeding.
Sadly, the last few decades, breeders started to breed even more
for looks, and exaggerated the Bulldogs typical looks including
their short face, short legs, small behind, and their wrinkles.
Some of these features are the cause of some of the Bulldog
breed specific health problems.
