Known for its stocky built, wide, and droopy face with an under bite, the bulldog is one of the most famous dog breeds. Its name refers to the breed's original use in bull baiting, which England banned by 1835. Families appreciate bulldogs for their relaxed temperament and minimal need for grooming and exercise. Despite cartoon depictions of them as ferocious dogs, today's Bulldogs are bred to be affectionate and kind which is perfect as a family dog.
