The Bulldog, also known as the English Bulldog or British Bulldog, is a dog breed recognized for its sturdy structure, broad head, and distinctive facial features, such as the short muzzle and stern expression. Originating from Great Britain, Bulldogs were initially bred for bull-baiting, an activity from which they inherited their courage and determination.

Today, Bulldogs are known for their friendly and loyal temperament, making them great family companions. They are generally affectionate with children and can be quite calm, despite their robust appearance. Due to their short muzzle, Bulldogs can be sensitive to heat and require special care in warm climates.
