The term
“Bulldog” commonly refers to the English Bulldog, but can also refer to
the American Bulldog, French Bulldog, or now extinct Old English
Bulldog. A stocky, muscular breed with an unmistakable wrinkled face and
compact muzzle, the Bulldog is known for having thick folds above its
nose, droopy lips, and an occasional underbite. Despite its intimidating
appearance, the Bulldog is friendly, patient, and extremely loyal to
its owner, and has been known to form strong bonds with children. For
this reason, it is among one of the most popular family pet breeds.
