Bulldog History

There are actually a number of breeds that go by the name Bulldog, and all of them are sturdily built, wrinkly-faced canines, mostly living out their lives as family pets. This blog concerns itself with the English and American bulldogs, but there are also the Leavitt Bulldog, Old English Bulldogge, and French Bulldog. The English breed’s nose has a more noticeably “pushed-in” appearance than that of his American cousin. The English Bulldog remains the better known of the two. The AKC has yet to formally recognize the American Bulldog. Both breeds are described as affable, hardworking dogs that can do almost anything, from hunting large and small game to guarding and enjoying time with their families.
Literature of old describes the appearance of the first Bulldog around 1500. The first occurrence with the present spelling was seen in 1631 or 1632.

Sadly, these early Bulldogs have “bull” in their names because some of them were used for dogfighting. The name of the sport as it applied to Bulldogs was “bull-baiting.” In a match, crowds would pick a dog on which to wager. Then, one by one, dogs would be set atop a tethered bull. By throwing, goring or trampling the helpless dog, bulls killed many a Bulldog for human entertainment. Fortunately, the sport’s popularity peaked around 1800, and by 1835 it had been banned outright under Britain’s Cruelty to Animals Act.

The American Bulldog’s history has a different trajectory. He generally joined his immigrant owners in coming to the U.S. in the 1800s. He was a working dog and became highly prized in the southern states for his ability to track and hold feral hogs.

As happened to too many dogs, the American breed neared extinction after World War II, with most live specimens dwelling in the southeastern U.S. John D. Johnson, of Summerville, GA, made it his mission to restore the breed and did so by rounding up and breeding the best specimens he could find.

The AKC rated the Bulldog as the fourth most popular dog in the U.S. in 2015.



Deutscher Wachtelhund History

As the name would imply, the Deutscher Wachtelhund comes from Germany. In the late nineteenth century, German hunters wanted to recreate the Stoeberer. This breed was known for its tracking abilities, they were about as strong as a Bloodhound. They bred with Stoeberer with Spaniels and made the bird dog known as the Deutscher Wachtelhund. This breed is usually owned by hunters and are not very common in North America.
