Thread: Improving the health of the bulldog

In theory the English bulldog should have died out the same time animal baiting did.

the current english bulldog bears no resemblence to his long legged ancesteor kept for gameness and butcher used.
if wild pig hunting the way we do it had existed then maybe the real breed would have survived and thrived
could you imagine the current asmatic shortlegged joke of genetic mishandling and down right kennel club cruelty holding a bull by the snout while the butcher sledge hammers it.
if it had half an ounce of usefulnesss it would be crossed into more pigdogs than you could shake a stick at instead it can barely stagger to the letter box to wheeze at the postie 3 days a week.

Actually it did survive in the southern states of America when the breed was bought out there in the 1700-1800s, there you go tussock you have a date, it was in fact used as a pig dog and still is today, it became know as the American bulldog or earlier on an English White.
It was later bred back to the English bulldog by a bloke called Johnson and this was the start of the bow legged Johnson type.
