Common Bulldog Breeds

1. English Bulldog: The English Bulldog is a dog breed originating in the United Kingdom, said to be descended from a cross between the Mastiff and the Bull Terrier. Its face has wrinkles; an adult dog weighs about 23 kg and stands 30 to 36 cm tall, belonging to the medium-sized dog category. It was originally used for baiting bulls, and after the sport was banned in the 19th century it became a companion dog. It is suitable for city life, suitable for hot weather, does not need frequent coat grooming, is not easy to train, and is an excellent watchdog.

2. French Bulldog: The French Bulldog is a small guard dog, native to France, with the English Bulldog as its ancestor. It was once one of the strongest breeds among bulldogs and was prominent for a time in bull-baiting competitions. Later, after French law banned bull-baiting activities, it became a companion dog, especially loved by women. Around 1860, many toy bulldogs came from the United Kingdom to France and were crossed with other local breeds, eventually becoming this small-sized French Bulldog with a flat skull and rose ears or bat ears.

3. American Bulldog: In the 19th century, many European immigrants moved to the United States with their dogs, and the American Bulldog is the descendant of those dogs; at the time most of those dogs were herding dogs. Although the American Bulldog has been bred into shape, it is still not recognized by any major breed registry organization in the Americas, nor has it been accepted to participate in touring exhibitions. This brave and agile fighting dog breed varies greatly in body size and coat color, and is very similar to the English Bulldog used in bull-baiting competitions in the 18th century.

4. Spanish Bulldog: The Spanish Bulldog was recognized as a breed in 1980, with its place of origin being Spain. Its ancestors have a history of more than 1500 years and were brought to Europe by the Alans. The Spanish Bulldog is a suitable family dog: persistent, fearless, loyal and devoted, hardworking, patient and loving toward children, and aggressive toward strangers. Males are about 258 to 63 cm, females about 55 to 60 cm, and weight about 35 to 40 kg.
