How were bulldog found?

Bulldogs were originally bred in England in the Middle Ages for bull-baiting, a cruel sport where dogs were set upon a tethered bull. After the practice was banned in the early 19th century, bulldogs were bred for temperament and appearance rather than aggression, leading to the gentle and loyal companions we know today. Their distinctive wrinkled face and stocky build were refined through selective breeding. Today, bulldogs are popular family pets known for their friendly nature.
