From what I'm finding, bulldogs were used to bait bulls for amusement, not to "take down bulls". Maybe I'll write my next term paper on it or something.

that is hilarious, you really think they were bred to take down bulls?



they were bred to herd cattle, like how sheep dogs herd sheep. If you know anything about cattle, generally the bulls are NOT allowed to roam free with the rest of the cattle, so the bulldogs never confronted the bulls.



I should get a pic of the bullpen at my dad's friends farm, all the wood is like 6" thick as a MINIMUM. if you think a bulldog is tougher then practically a bulletproof pen, then hey more power um to you i guess.

Bring down, bait...samething...



" It was in or about 1406 that Edmond de Langley, Duke of York, the forth son of seven son's of Edward III, wrote a treatise entitled "The Mayster of the Game and of hawks to Henry IV, and in his treatise he described the Alaunt or Allen dog as a dog with a large and thick head and a short muzzle, which was remarkable for his courage, so that when he attacked an animal he hung on, and was used for bull baiting"

Baiting an animal means that you let the dog attack it and sit there and laugh. Whether or not the dog wins is irrelevant.
