bulldogs in england were originally working dogs who drove and caught cattle and guarded their masters’ property. at one time, the breed was used in the grueling sport of bull baiting. with the outlawing of the sport in england in 1835, the original type of bulldog disappeared from britain and was replaced with the less athletic dog we now know as the english bulldog. yet the original bulldog was preserved by immigrants who brought their working dogs with them to the american south. by the end of world war ii, the last remnants of the working english bulldog were disappearing in the u.s. thanks to the breeding programs of john d. johnson and allen scott, the breed was brought back from the brink of extinction.
