French Bulldog - Bulldog
The origin of the French Bulldog is not well known, though it is common opinion its French origin. One thing is certain, belongs to the group of mastiff that derive from the Tibetan mastiff, the origin of all brachycephalic dogs. This dog Asia has spread throughout the world, generating various types, the result of the selections also wanted to use the dog, the living conditions or geographical area in which it developed. He created dogs like the Mastiff English in Britain, "Allan" of the Middle Ages French (Whose descendant is the purest Dogue de Bordeax) in France, the Dog of Burgos in Spain and in Italy the Neapolitan Mastiff. Tentatively selected molossoidi man of great size for combat and guard and, in parallel, smaller and lighter subjects have developed with different selections. We need to return to the last century, more precisely to the years 1850-1880, when there are children in Britain Bulldogs, who really do not have resemblance to the English Bulldog today. It is in fact dogs lighter, less flattened nose and a flat front and wide. They are active and used for hunting mice. They are called Toy Bulldogs . Parallel exists in France, a dog of similar size to the Toy Bulldog , located mainly in the suburbs of Paris, Pantin and La Villette. Resembles the Doguin, the terrier and small Bulldogs. It is called Terrier Boule or Ratier, no doubt because of his exceptional talent for hunting rats. The French Bulldog is therefore very humble beginnings, was in fact the main partner of the cattle traders, butchers and wine merchants. Many of these people were also fans of dog fighting, and some parents of current Bulldogs, were used in these bloody exhibitions. His ancestors were very different as the current form, but still brave and combative. E 'in 1875, that some amateur, from modest circumstances, he begins to select small subjects favoring those with short limbs and muscular. Carles Petit, one of the first farmers, working in Belgium in 1880 is a small male Ratier bring. E 'LUOPI, small Terrier Boule, weighing 25 pounds, with ears pricked. It was bought for Mosieur Riviere. LOUP fù progenitor of many descendants including Rabot DE BEUBOURG one of the stallions LOF 3004 and DICK DE LA MARE, with brindle coat and weight 10 pounds, selected for Monsieur Ruffier, restaurateur. Meanwhile, some English Nottingham, crossing the English Channel and settled in Calais. Bulldogs are accompanied by their type light which had the same use in Britain, the French Ratier. The intersections between Ratier and small Toy Bulldogs have certainly contributed to the birth of French Bulldog. Some humble farmer begins to get together, Monsieur Roger, who knows, a good breeder and judge, creates, April 5, 1888 the first Bulldog Club in France, the club has not yet recognized by the Société Centrale Canine, this club has only 47 members, but fixed a standard that will remain valid until 1989. The main points are:

However, emigration from England to France procure ' with the passage of time what you would call a social rise of this dog and its ancestors. If you land in the English Toy Bulldogs were in fact the favorite companions of cantinai, coachmen, merchants and shopkeepers generally of land in English, soon conquered France in the salons of the aristocracy of the time well, not the most popular 'as a tireless worker, but as fellow-tempered strong and distrustful of butlers and visitors. For brokerage coachmen (Monsieur Bernard Barasino), of certain houses of tolerance (as the house of Madame Palmyre), the little bulldog begins to affect the middle class. The Bulldogs became so 'soon one of the muses favorite painting of Belle Epoque and a welcome guest in the homes of celebrities such as singer and writer Colette Mistinguett (in England should be remembered, the Bulldogs was the favorite dog of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII with the name).
