Country of Origin: Great Britain
Original Purpose: The term "Bulldog" was originally used to describe any "type" of dog that was a "butcher's dog" or one that baited bulls in the blood sport of bull-baiting.
The earliest Bulldogs were bred for a specific use, that of baiting or holding the bull, which was a legitimate part of every butcher's business.
Unfortunately, this type of necessary working function was later transformed into several gruesome blood sports such as bull baiting and staged pit fights.
Bulldogs were pitted against other animals such as bears, wild boars and large predatory cats, as well as their own kind in bloody fights to the death.
The "type" of dog used in bull-baiting wasn't developed into a breed with a fixed type until these so-called "sports" were outlawed in Britain. At that point the Bulldog's historical function essentially ceased and breeders began breeding more for a show and companion dog.
