How did bulldogs first get their name?

Bulldogs were used for bull baiting. Bulls were thought to taste better if they were baited before being butchered and some found it as a form of entertainment. Usually, the dog would grab the bull by the nose and not let go to madden it. The bulldogs face and body were specially developed to help them bait bulls; their smushed-in face allowed them to breath while their undershot jaw clasped the nose of the bull thus forming a vice grip. The bulldog's body was bred to be low to the ground to help them avoid getting snagged by one of the bulls horns and all their face wrinkles allowed the bulls blood to drain off off their face which kept most of it out of the dogs nose and eyes. The bulldog has a small rear so that if the dog was flung off the bulls nose the damage would be minimized.
