Old English Bulldog: Breed History and Facts

Who me? Big-headed?

"Stanley Coren in his book The Intelligence of Dogs ranks 79 breeds according to what he calls 'working/obedience intelligence.' You can find most of the dogs in the nonsporting, terrier and hound groups at the bottom of the list. ...Elaine's bulldog finished with a less-than-stunning 77. ... It's not always or even often a lack of intelligence that makes a dog tough to train. Consider this. Which child usually ends up getting her own way or squirming out of punishment: the smart kid or the not-so-smart brother? ... a high level of intelligence can actually hinder trainability."
-Betty Fisher from So Your Dog's Not Lassie : Tips for Training Difficult Dogs and Independent Breeds (And all this time I thought Juniper was just slow-witted!)

Hey, no bone gets the best of me.

"You may have a dog that won't sit up, rollover or even cook breakfast, not because she's too stupid to learn how but because she's too smart to bother." – Rick Horowitz (who must be a bulldog owner.)

And what are yooou staring at?

Juniper engaging in her preferred, um, "activity" -yep, she's my favorite couch potato.

"The nose of the bulldog has been slanted backwards so that he can breathe without letting go." - Winston Churchill

"The fidelity of a dog is a precious gift demanding no less binding moral responsibility than the friendship of a human being. The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth can ever be." -Konrad Lorenz
