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.



Miniature Pinscher History

The Miniature Pinscher, also called a Zwergpinscher (Little biter) or nicknamed a Min Pin, originated in Germany.

Also called the King of Toys, the spunky personality of a Min Pin is loved by many. It is true that Miniature Pinschers are rambunctious and yet good-natured, but they are not exactly the type of dog that a new dog owner should take home. Even experienced owners should consider a trainer to help with the skills needed to teach a Miniature Pinscher.

They are assertive and smart dogs, but they are also sweet and loving; and when they calm down enough, they will happily be your lap dog too.

Although there are images of the Min Pin going back for a long time, there is only documentation going back to 200 years ago. The earliest ancestors of the Miniature Pinscher originate from the German Pinscher, which was mixed with Italian Greyhounds and Dachshunds, and the first job of a Miniature Pinscher was to kill rats in homes and within stables.

Many had believed that the Miniature Pinscher was a “miniature Doberman” because the Doberman came to the United States first, but that is not the case. The Doberman and Miniature Pinscher are two different breeds. Originally the Miniature Pinscher was introduced to the American Kennel Club and was named simply Pinscher.

Once the Miniature Pinscher Club of America was formed in 1929, they petitioned for the Pinschers to be placed in the Toy Group; but it wasn’t until 1972 that the name was officially changed to Miniature Pinscher.
