BULLDOG

The bulldog is an ancient breed of British dog, remarkable for its short, broad muzzle, and the projection of its lower jaw, which causes the lower front teeth to protrude beyond the upper. The head is massive and broad; the lips are thick and pendulous; the ears pendent at the extremity; the neck robust and short; the body long and stout; and the legs short and thick, although it has changed its appearance over the years. It was originally bred for bull baiting and as such it can grip a bull's throat without obstructing its nostrils. It has a distinctive short, thick, kinked tail. Today bulldog's are placid and phlegmatic with a tendency to become obese if not exercised regularly.
