Unlike a lot of dogs, the English bulldog was not created by crossing two specific Dog Breeds together but was rather developed by crossing a variety of different dogs in an attempt to make the ultimate bull-baiting dog. What dog-breeders would look for in dogs was short snouts, strong jaws, muscular bodies, dogs that were low to the ground, and had a tenacious demeanor. Dog breeders would breed together these dogs with the desired traits until the ideal bulldog was created. These pre-bulldogs are not well known, although there is a suggestion that they may of descended from mastiff-type dogs.

What are the three different types of bulling?

By 'Bulling' I assume you mean Bulldog. There are only two recognised Bulldogs in England, the French and the English Bulldog. In America there is also an American Bulldog. However, there are also Bull Terriers such as the Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and English Bull Terrier. Unrecognised breeds of Bulldog also exist, such as the Valley, Brazilian and Victorian Bulldog's. There are also 'Bully-type' breeds such as the Boston Terrier and Pug - but these breeds were never actually used for bull baiting. If by 'Bulling' you mean bull baiting, then that is a long banned blood sport were a tethered bull or bear had Bulldog's set on it for entertainment. People would bet on either how many dog's the Bull/Bear could kill in a set time or how long it would take the dog's to kill the Bear/Bull.
