English Bulldog

The English Bulldog, along with the English White Terrier, is one of the foundational dogs of the Boston Terrier line. The first dog considered to be in the Boston Line is Hooper’s Judge who was a English Bulldog/White Terrier mix.

First mentioned around 1500, English Bulldogs were originally light boned, muscular and athletic.  They were used to pin a tethered bull to the ground by the nose while wagers were taken.
