What are the characteristics of a Bulldog?
Bulldogs are known for their outgoing, kind, distinguished nature and their low muscular frame. But don’t be mistaken, this animals can make the most out of what ever environmental they are in, whether it’s a urban city or a rural countryside. They were bred to participate in the “sport” of bullbaiting, but those days are long gone. Now the Bulldog’s main purpose is to be mans best friend.
