The Bulldog may be brindle, white, red, fawn, fallow or piebald.
A Bit About
Said to have originated in the British Isles, the name "bull" was
applied because of the dog's connection with bull baiting. The original
bulldog had to be ferocious and courageous, and almost insensitive to
pain. When dog fighting became illegal in England, fanciers set to the
task of preserving the breed by eliminating the fierce
characteristics. Within a few generations, the Bulldog became one of
the finest physical specimens with an agreeable temperament.
Bulldogs are recognized as excellent family pets because of their tendency to form strong bonds with children. They tend to be gentle and protective. The breed requires minimal grooming and exercise. Their short nose makes them prone to overheating in warm weather, so make sure to provide a shady place to rest.
