Bulldog

        The Bulldog is instantly recognizable.  He is a friendly, but stubborn dog.  They were bred to bite bulls on the nose, therefore they have an upturned chin, although this has been exaggerated by breeding through the years.  Their coats are short, and are usually colored red, fawn, white, or pied.  They are fairly heavy for their small-medium size.  The male is 55 pounds, and the female is 50.  Even though their origin is of fighting, the bulldog is affectionate, determined, and a good house dog.
