Bulldogs used to be extremely muscular and strong- they were originally bred to bait bulls so they had to be incredibly strong and tenacious or they were at risk of loosing their lives. However, since bull-baiting became illegal in the 1800's the bulldog breed has changed dramatically- the features that made the bulldog once a very successful bull baiter were exaggerated and consequently the overall sturdy, athletic dog turned into a stocky (yet adorable) couch potato.
