English Bulldogs
Non-Sporting Group
General Appearance
The perfect Bulldog must be of medium size and smooth coat; with heavy, thick-set, low-swung body,
massive short-faced head, wide shoulders and sturdy limbs. The general appearance and attitude should
suggest great stability and strength.
Temperament
The disposition should be kind and courageous (not vicious or aggressive). They have a scary
appearance but are scary themselves. Looks are deceiving......
English Bulldog History
The Bulldog, to the best of our knowledge, had its origin in the British Isles. The name "bull" was
applied because of the dog's use in the sport of bull baiting, which was extremely cruel. The original
Bulldog had to be very ferocious and so savage and courageous as to be almost insensitive to pain.
In 1835 dog fighting as a sport became illegal in England. Therefore, the English Bulldog had outlived
his usefulness and his days were numbered. However, there were dog lovers who felt deep
disappointment at the passing of the breed, and they set themselves the task of preserving it. They
proceeded to eliminate the undesirable fierce characteristics and to preserve and accentuate the finer
qualities. Within a few generations, the English Bulldog became one of the finest physical specimens,
minus its original viciousness.
We may be justly proud of the English Bulldog we know today, and we must express our gratitude to
our British cousins, who realized the value of the English Bull sufficiently to preserve him for posterity.
• The name “Bull” appears in “Bulldog” due to the breed’s connection with Bull baiting.
• The Bulldog originated in the British Isles.
• The Bulldog is featured in the Disney film “Lady and the Tramp.”
• Despite their small size, Bulldogs can weigh over 50lbs.
• Warren Harding owned a Bulldog Named “Oh Boy”
• Calvin Coolidge owned a Bulldog named “Boston Beans”
This is the preferred Confirmation of my English Bulldogs.
These are the qualities that we strive for at LECK FARM.
“Once you have owned an English Bulldog, you’ll always have a need for one in your life.”
