#Pet those things##斗牛犬 #
Modern bulldogs always appear in front of the world with the image of kindness, kindness and loyalty.
Their broad head and shoulders, grandfather-like folds on their faces, their fat body shape and small short legs make them one of the most popular pet dogs in the world.
But who knows that this small and cute figure is not what they looked like in the beginning, but the result of artificial breeding to meet market demand.

The term Bulldog is commonly used today to refer to the English Bulldog or British Bulldog as a medium-sized, smooth-haired dog with a heavy, fat, low, wobbly body with a short face, a thick head, broad shoulder blades, and strong limbs.

Like bullfighting, pit bulls were originally bred to help butchers control their livestock. It has been suggested that the bulldog probably preceded bullfighting, dating back to the 5th century AD, an extinct dog breed, the Alaunt, whose original dog breed existed in the North Caucasus, Central Asia and Europe from ancient times until the 17th century. It is mainly known for its quality as a large hound, war dog, and guard dog.

By the 15th century, in addition to catching horses, cattle, and wild boars in legal agriculture and hunting, the bullhead was used in savage "movements" known as bull-baiting, where trained dogs would lock the tethered bull's nose until the dog pulled the bull to the ground, or the bull killed the dog. For 350 years, pit bulls were bred for bullfighting shows, where an 80-pound dog could easily knock down a bull weighing nearly a ton, and they would bite the cow's neck and then pull the cow down with its own center of gravity. This epidemic lasted until bullfighting was banned in 1835.

When bullfighting was banned in Britain, it seemed that the breed was no longer needed. In the UK, the original working pit bull was bred to a smaller size, which was achieved by selectively breeding smaller dogs or crossbreeding with pugs.
In the United States, pit bulls continue to graze pigs and cattle, especially in southern states where the terrain is difficult to repair fences.
Breeder Jhon D. Jhonson selectively bred cattle dogs in rural Georgia in the 1930s and later teamed up with Allen Scott of Alabama in the 1960s. However, the two ultimately didn't see what the American Bulldog was supposed to be, so they ended up going their separate ways, with Johnson creating a larger, short-cut "Classic" type to name him, while Scott bred a smaller, sportier "Standard" or "Performance" type, also known as the Scott type.
The Jhonson type is characterized by a broad thorax, a box-like head and a prominent jaw

The Scott type is characterized by a narrower head and mouth, alternating upper and lower teeth in reverse, and a slightly lower jaw

In Germany, bulldogs were hybrids that eventually created boxers.

Other bulldog breeds include the Old English Bulldog, the Leavitt Bulldog, the Olde English Bulldogge and the French Bulldog. I will not list them here due to the limited space, and interested friends can search for themselves.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > health problems caused by posture and living environment</h1>
Hip dysplasia
It is generally thought that the genetic defects after hybridization are formed, mainly manifested by hip pain and sensitivity, inconvenient movement, and inability to climb stairs
Cesarean
In order to cater to market preferences, breeders always want to choose dogs with larger heads, shorter legs and cute sizes for breeding, which results in most newborn cubs having large heads and unable to give birth smoothly.
Scholars studied the 2004 Kennel Club/BSAVA Scientific Committee Purebred Dog Health Survey
(2004 Kennel Club/BSAVA Scientific Committee Purebred Dog Health Survey)
More than 80% of pit bulls are delivered by caesarean section.

The once-strong bulldog has been cultivated by humans and is no longer able to compete with cattle. But their thick and cute appearance is still popular with people, and they can walk from the Colosseum to ordinary people's homes. Although artificial breeding has brought them physiological birth defects, it has avoided the extinction of this artificial species, and it is difficult to comment on whether it is good or bad.
I only have advice on how to prevent hip injuries: if you have a pit bull at home, whether it's a Fadou or a Yingdou, you usually need to avoid being in extreme temperatures (not in the sun or extremely cold), exercise properly to maintain your weight, find discomfort and send it to the veterinarian.
Raising a dog is a beautiful thing, and the heart of an animal is simple. As long as you give enough care and companionship, it will be able to stay with you healthily for longer.
