The English bulldog is a wonderful breed. On the one hand, we love their chubby cheeks and their fidelity, but on the other hand, we do not forget that this race arose with the crossing with other races, the reason why it has been dragging through all those years the defects of each one of them.

This dog originally from the UK (recognized as an English national symbol) has changed a lot since the first litter was created. In its beginnings it was used as a dog to fight in alleys, in the seventeenth century; then he was taken to the farms to be used by the butchers, for they made the bulls run to make their flesh softer.

From there it is believed that its name came from (although it is also believed to come from the word band dog).

The intelligence and its relation to the colors of the skin of this breed

In the section of their physical characteristics, the English Bulldog maintains a variety of stunning colors. The most popular are white, red, and white, tabby and white, and white with yellow spots, among other colors.

The color of this race does not affect much in his intelligence, because it is hardly a matter of the tastes of each person. Even so, it is important to find a dog that fits the standard of the breed.

But what makes them so intelligent over other races?

You will say that one race is superior to another because of the amount of barking it does each day. And you´re right. In this aspect, the English bulldog is not known for barking too much. But you can get annoyed by snoring and belching it because of their respiratory problems.

The interesting thing about the Bulldog breed is that they know how to differentiate the family from a stranger completely him. For this reason, it is a recommended breed for children to interact with them.

But if it can happen that from time to time they fight with other races, which can be a little disastrous to solve, and being in the outdoor spaces it becomes more tedious to separate them.

Another point in favor of the English bulldog is that he enjoys the company of human beings. It is a very affectionate and loving dog with its owners. They are also loyal and quickly take affection to those who care for them.

The English Bulldog will not mind living in the countryside, which denotes his intelligence, because it is not a race adapted only to the city, but can easily transcend borders. There you will have huge terrain to walk around, although you will be content with short daily walks.

They belong to those breeds that enjoy while they rest in the comfortable surroundings of their home. Games that last for hours are not the best thing for them. The English bulldog enjoys short game sessions and will be very happy with his relationship with humans and the attention provided by the owner.

At this point it is also interesting to learn about their tolerance with other dogs, despite being very possessive, they are not so when another breed comes to make friends with them.

Another aspect in which the English bulldog gets a good note is how quickly they can learn a trick or obey your commands with great ease, although they are usually a little disobedient.

In all this this race does not like at all to be in municipal kennels, because they are easily intimidated to have no company of human beings at their side.

They tend to bite a lot: does that make them more or less intelligent?

One aspect that we must all take into account of this breed is that they are impulsive bitters, from their puppy stage to their adulthood. It’s important to keep them busy biting toys if you do not want them to bite your personal things.

Does gender improve the intelligence of this breed?

The gender of these dogs is important at the moment of indicating their intelligence. In most other races, there is often little difference between genders. The male of the English bulldog is more affectionate than the female, although it sounds contradictory. Anyway, everything will depend on the upbringing and plans that the owner has for the dog.

His intelligence is not only for good things

Despite the compliments given to this breed by his great intelligence, this dog can become fearful when he believes that his family is in danger and goes in search of defending it. The same happens with the defense of your territory or possessions, so it is important to give a good education as a puppy.

In addition, this breed will not be able to accompany you in your intense exercise routines, even in the low-intensity ones, due to respiratory problems caused by crosses with other dog breeds. On the other hand, it is not a dog to live in the garden; because it does not resist the climatic variations, due to it must live inside the houses.

In general terms, the English bulldog is a very healthy canine breed. But he is prone to suffer several conditions that can knock him down for days. The most important are respiratory and bronchial problems. Also, problems in the eyelids and eyes can become annoying to them.

Finally, this breed of dogs can easily be classified as a superior breed of dogs (forget this comment Hitler), because in a short time, they have been able to move from being a fighting dog to spending quiet days at home with their owners. That is, they have been evolving and evolving very fast.
