English bulldog

Stocky British breed

An English bulldog is a stocky, muscular breed of dog with a distinctive pushed-in face, wrinkled skin, and wide stance.

Originally bred for bull-baiting in England, the modern bulldog is docile and affectionate despite its fierce appearance.

The breed is known for breathing difficulties due to its flat face: English bulldogs overheat easily in summer.

Often shortened to bulldog.
