Do you know the origin of the bulldog?

As far as we know, the bulldog originated in the British Isles and the word "cow" is used in its name because the dog is often used to play the game of "sleuth biting cow". This ancient English game is hard to say exactly when it began: inside the walls of Stanford's castle, two bulls fight over a cow on castle meadows, and all the slaughterers' dogs hunt down a bull, which is driven mad by barking noise and numerous dogs. Giving up the castle meadow where the original bulls fought, after the first weeding every year, as a commons for slaughterers in the city, the movement was preserved forever.

Anyone who talks about this game of "sleuth biting a bull" will find it rather cruel, and through this we can know that the original pit bull was a very ferocious animal. The beautiful and well-proportioned body shape is to some extent appreciated, and there is nothing else in the dog's form. This particular courage of pit bulls is hard to believe, the dog's ancestors were aggressive, they were so fierce and courageous that they were insensitive to pain.

By 1835, bullfighting was considered illegal in Britain as a sport, and for various reasons, the English bulldog became increasingly worthless and even threatened to become extinct. However, some dog lovers were very disappointed to see the end of the breed and did not hesitate to take on the responsibility of saving the bulldog. Although fierceness is no longer needed or popular, they hope to retain some of the other excellent qualities of this dog. To this end, they began to carry out breeding to eliminate its unwelcome characteristics, retain and strengthen some good qualities, scientific breeding brought satisfactory results, and after several generations of selective breeding, the English bulldog became one of the most physically active species and minimized its original wildness. This is what we know today as the Pit Bull, a breed that can be reasonably proud of. At the same time we must be grateful to these Britons who recognized the value of the pit bull and preserved it.

Of British origin. Originated in the 19th century. Until 1835, when England banned the introduction of bulls, it was a very common breed. Since then, after selective cultivation, the personality has gradually become more elegant. The puppy's large head may get stuck in the birth canal, so the female dog often gives birth by caesarean section.
