#4 In 1858-1859, work began on the preservation of the English Bulldogs.
However, the breeders set themselves another task - to eradicate excessive anger in them. It was not without difficulty that the most balanced individuals were selected throughout Britain. A year later, an exhibition was held in Birmingham, at which samples of the "new" breed were presented. By their nature and inner world, these were far from those bulldogs that were previously known. Visitors to the exhibition were able to appreciate the work of geneticists and breeders in full: the reviews were the most positive!
#5 In 1873, the breed was officially recognized by the English Kennel Club, as evidenced by the entry in the stud books of the time.
In the early 1880s, English Bulldogs were increasingly being paid attention to outside their historical homeland. And today no one will say what exactly they were loved for: for their funny appearance or balanced character - most likely, for both.
#6 Representatives of other breeds, for example, the American Akita or Alaskan Malamute, are literally torn to freedom.
They love to walk, frolic. But the same cannot be said about the English Bulldog. This dog is a real couch potato. His favorite place in the house is the master's sofa, around which he constantly spins and can sleep at least all day. Long walks, especially long distances, are also not to his taste. Our "gentleman" is most comfortable near home.
