The French Bulldog originated in 19th Century Nottingham, England, where Lace makers decided to make a smaller, miniature, lap version of the English Bulldog, that were referred to as "toy" bulldogs. In the 1860's when the Industrial Revolution drove the craftsmen to France they took their dogs with them. The toy bulldogs became popular in France and were given the name the, "French Bulldog". The breed eventually made its way back to England for dog shows. The Britts were not happy with the name "French" given to a dog that was originally from England, however the name "French Bulldog" stuck.

∙ 14y agoback when English Bull Terriers really were vicious killing machines, they were bred for bull baiting. a bull would be tied up and an EBT would be set on it. the competition would be whose dog killed the bull the fastest.
but since then, it has been bred out of them, but their reputation still remains, :(
