Question
I would love to buy an English bulldog. How much are they?
Are they hard to care for and how would I know this care other than from you to do it properly?

Answer
English Bulldogs were originally used to catch a bull by the nose and hold him down. The breed's body shape gave him the leverage and the agility to sway as the bull tossed him from side to side. The folds of skin around his neck protected him and kept the blood out of his eyes. The short, wide nose allowed him to breathe as he hung onto the bull. Short legs gave him a sturdy stance, enabling him to get in beneath the bull's horns.

The Bulldog was developed through very selective breeding, and is a very recognizable breed. His origins are said to come from the Alaunts and Pugnaces of ancient England--the Mastiff and the Pug.

Bulldogs were traditionally used in bull baiting contests, but they did not usually fight with other dogs. They have always been very loyal no matter how badly mistreated.

The first British standard for the current Bulldog was written in 1864. The fighting instinct was gradually bred out of the progeny leaving traits of loyalty, tenacity and courage.

Nowadays, the English Bulldog is the symbol of Great Britain. This country is the motherland of the breed. The British are famous for English Bulldog breeding lines. However, the breed is popular all over the world due to its appearance and temperament traits. The main function of the English Bulldog is that of a companion dog. Modern English Bulldogs have a lot of health problems, which causes breeders and owners to reconsider their attitude to the breed and to aim at good health rather than amusing appearance.
