Many celebrities own bulldogs including Leonardo DiCaprio, Reese Witherspoon, David Beckham, Ashley Olsen, Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, and Martha Stewart.
Bulldogs were officially inducted into the American Kennel Club in 1886. That’s 130 years ago!
Brigitte, the bulldog who plays Stella on Modern Family, has the distinction of being the first bulldog to win a Golden Collar award. She beat out dog performers from Chelsea Lately, Hot in Cleveland, Entourage, and Suburgatory. She also beat out the only human competitor, Jason Gann, the star of Wilfred.
Bulldogs were originally bred for bull baiting. This explains the stout stature (for a low center of gravity) and underbite, which made it easier for them to grab onto what they were biting. Fortunately, the vicious sport of bull baiting is now a thing of yesteryear.
Be it the prestigious Yale University or U.S. Marine Corps, the breed plays mascot for a number of legendary institutions. Who could possibly deny the tenacity of that bow-legged pose?
Snoring, drooling, farting—yep! All the endearing stuff. Bulldogs are brachycephalic (a condition caused by their short snouts), which makes them prone to gassiness and snorting.
In fact, the UKC (United Kennel Club) classifies bulldogs under the companion category. Bulldogs love kids, which makes them great for families. Loving as they are, a bit of the old world bulldog endures, which also makes them well-suited for the night shift guarding the house.
