Bulldogs were originally used for bull
baiting, in which trained bulldogs attacked and killed tied-up bulls for sport during the 17th century, these
bulldogs would leap up at the bull and latch onto its nose, suffocating it. This is the reason the
bulldog has such a short and slightly upward facing snout that enables it to breathe whilst keeping hold of the bull, it has also given the breed great endurance and a
determined personality. The practice of bull baiting was banned in England in 1835.
