So let’s see what makes them unique\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/span>English Bulldog<\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt all started with the English bulldog. Historical evidence suggests that this dog emerged in the thirteenth century, in England. At that time it was used as a guard dog, but its main objective was blood sports, specifically bull fattening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Given his fearless, fierce, and tenacious attitude, the English bulldog was thrown into a bull pit to fight. Once inside, its strong jaws served to outwit and hold the great animal. This is how the name \u201cbulldog\u201d was born.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Once bull fattening was banned, breeders devoted their efforts to making this bulldog the gentle, calm, family pet we know today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Although its stocky, muscular structure and that intimidating bite can give us the impression of an aggressive dog, the truth is that the English bulldog is quite docile and affectionate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Most of them exhibit a relaxed and carefree character, which makes them patient and affectionate with children.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
They also tend to get along well with other pets in the household but may show territorial aggression toward unfamiliar dogs, or potential threats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/span>American Bulldog<\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe American bulldog is the classic dog that demonstrates endurance, agility, and strength. It is a direct descendant of the English bulldog, although it is slightly more athletic, taller, and heavier. After its arrival in North America in the 19th century, the breed evolved as an agricultural working dog. The American bulldog was capable of guarding cattle, herding, and capturing wild boar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Sometime later, his even-tempered and obedient personality led him to become an excellent family pet. He is often described as an oversized dog with a lapdog attitude. He loves to please his owner, adopting a true clown attitude.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
On the other hand, he is an incredibly brave dog, who will be ready to defend you if he thinks it necessary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
When well socialized, American Bulldogs are very affectionate with children and tend to get along with other animals. They are usually wary, but not aggressive, towards strangers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A peculiarity of the American dog is its high level of energy. It is important that you get to exercise every day; otherwise, it can develop destructive tendencies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
