Bulldogs 101:
About the Breed
What every prospective owner should know.
According to the American Kennel Club, bulldogs are one of the top five most popular dog breeds in the United States. Bulldogs are more recognizable than any other breed – they are beloved mascots of some of our favorite sports teams and the United States Marine Corps. There is no other breed that is more admired than the bulldog. Bulldogs are known for their loyalty, determination, stubbornness, protective instinct, strong personality, and unwavering companionship.
While the bulldog is most commonly recognized by their wrinkled snout, distinctive under bite, bow legs and stocky stature, bulldogs come in all shapes and sizes. The most common types of bulldogs are the English Bulldog, the French Bulldog, the American Bulldog, the Victorian Bulldog and the Olde English Bulldog.
Centuries ago, bulldogs were bred to guard, control and bait bulls, practices that became illegal in the 1800s. Despite their sporting past, the bulldog has evolved drastically over time. Bulldogs are now loyal house pets.

As much as the volunteers of IBR love this amazing breed, we hope that one day there is no longer a need for bulldog rescues. Before adding a bulldog to your family, we encourage you to carefully research the breed and commit yourself to providing your bulldog with a lifetime of care and love that they need.
