Hairiness has to do with genetics; basically, the hairier someone is, the more likely he (or she!) is descended from people who lived in an area with a lot of bugs, especially mosquitoes. Also, Caucasians tend to be hairier than people of other races, Asians and Native Americans tend to be least hairy.

Do bulldogs have hair or fur?

Hair and fur serve the same purpose: to keep the animal warm. They both refer to the same thing only hair usually refers to sparse/patches of hair rather than a thick coat of it. We as humans usually use the term "fur" to refer to the hair of an animal and use "hair" to describe our own, or hair/fur that is sparse. In the case of bulldogs the fact that they are animals would mean that we would refer to their hair as fur although both hair and fur are basically the same thing.
