Bulldogs were developed in England to bait bulls, which was outlawed in 1835. Due to the termination of bull baiting and the many difficulties in breeding this breed was very close to extinction at one time. Fortunately lovers of the breed saw the breed as something much greater and began breeding them as companions.
