History
Stonehenge (1872) says " - - the mental qualities of the bulldog may be highly cultivated, and in brute courage and unyielding tenacity of purpose he stands unrivalled among quadrupeds - -" and that "- - in kennels - - they are often deficient in intelligence - - " but " - - if differently treated the bulldog is a very different animal, the brute nature he so often displays being mainly attributed to the savage human beings with whom he associates." In appearance he describes them as follows.
" The head should be round, the skull high, the eye moderate size, and the forehead well sunk between the eyes, the ears ears and small, well placed on the top of head, rather close together than otherwise, the muzzle short, truncated, and well furnished with chop; his back should be short, well arched towards the stern, which should be fine and of moderate length; many bulldogs have a crooked stern." - - - "The coat should be fine, though many superior strains are very wooly-coated; the chest should be deep and broad, the legs strong and muscular, and foot narrow and well split up like a hare's".
