by Tenacity. Toughness. Loyalty and determination. Badass attitude. A face that the crowd adores. Such are the distinctive traits of a 40–60-pound, wrinkled-faced, thickset dog that nailed down its popularity as the well-known mascot of universities such as Yale University and the University of Georgia and of the United States Marine Corps. Any guesses what that dog breed is?
The answer: the Bulldog, a breed that can never be mistaken for any other! This medium-sized sturdy dog sports a massive short-muzzled head, dense wrinkles in the forehead, and sleek coat. It carries its imposing body with its stocky limbs and has a characteristic gait described by many as a “loose-jointed, shuffling, sideways roll.”
Probably due to its history tainted with blood from bullbaiting and TV cartoons depicting it as unruly, the bulldog has a ferocious reputation that precedes it. This isn’t exactly true, as in reality bulldogs have an affectionate, protective, and friendly disposition. They are more of a lover now than a fighter, so to say. Waddling in a dignified manner around the household with that muscular body, the bulldog appreciates attention from their owners and can be a devoted family member. It is a first-rate candidate for being a courageous watchdog too, although their stubbornness can sometimes be an issue.
Check out the video below from BarhamGabe of a bulldog puppy charmingly trying to live up to his breed’s reputation. Yup, he hits 10 in the cuteness scale, but this dog means business. He barks and “grrr…” like he’s a big, intimidating guy. But no-one’s buying it – and he knows it. He’s just a softie and he’s going to have to deal with it, as anyone would prefer hugging him now more than ever. But just when it seems he has already raised the white flag to his female owner with all that whimpering, he strikes out again with another round of “grrr…” and barking. Now that’s both cute and clever!
