Dogs have different personalities, depending on their breed history and genetics. There are also some personalities that are inherent to certain breeds. Some breeds are more aggressive than others. Just like other dogs, bulldogs also exhibit personalities that depend on their breed history and genetics.
Breed History
To be able to understand fully the personality of bulldogs, it would be good to see their breed history. Bulldogs are believed to have come from Asia and to have been bred to fight. Such breeding explains the tendency of some bulldogs to be fierce and aggressive. However, some attempts have been made to breed out the tendency of bulldogs to fight. As a result, only courage and perseverance are left in them. Because of these qualities, people who need guard dogs are encouraged to get bulldogs.
Some Characteristics
Bulldogs are dominant in nature. In order for them to follow their owner, bulldogs must respect him. The owner must therefore be able to exert his authority on the dogs in the right way. When the owner gets their respect, they become very loyal and affectionate to him. Other traits of bulldogs include being friendly, docile, stubborn and comical. They are friendly to children, other dogs and other animals, such as cats, as long as the cat does not steal their food. These dogs also love attention.
On the other hand, bulldogs are not easy to train. You need to be really persistent to be able to train them successfully. Another unique feature of these dogs is that they love sleeping. You can even hear them snore.
Bulldogs are dominant and fierce because they have been bred to fight. However, breeders have successfully bred out this fierceness. But the dogs' courage remains; therefore, if the owner knows how to manage the temperament of these dogs and how to command their respect, he can expect undying loyalty and affection from these adorable dogs.
