The English Bulldog, also commonly known as the Tiger Dog, originated in the British Isles and is said to have been bred by a combination of the Mastiff Mastiff and the Bull Terrier. The word "cow" is used in the name because the dog is often used to play the game of "sleuth biting cow". 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 so disappointed to see the end of the breed that they did not hesitate to shoulder the responsibility of saving the breed. Although fierceness is no longer needed or popular, they hope to retain some of the other good 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.
