In this brief guide, we’ll break down the differences between the dogs so that you can easily tell them apart. Origins of the Breeds To understand the history of the Olde English Bulldogge, you first need to understand the history of the regular English Bulldog, as the former was bred as a response to the latter. English Bulldogs were created in the 17th century C.E.

 French Bulldog Temperament Overall, French Bulldogs are well-tempered, friendly animals whose worst temperamental flaw is that they can have a stubborn streak. They’re affable by nature, and they’re not quick to aggression, and their separation anxiety comes exclusively from just how much they love their owners. Similar to their personality, French Bulldogs’ temperament largely depends on their early youth, how they were bred, and that of their parents. Let’s start by pointing out the good.

While they do have extremely short attention spans, by in large they’re capable of learning quickly, and they have the capacity to be calm throughout their puppy years.

This means that they’re good with children. They are constantly seeking validation, but not in ...

Bulldogs and Bananas Yes, dogs (bulldogs inclusive) can eat bananas. In moderation, bananas are a great low-calorie treat for dogs. They’re high in potassium, vitamins, biotin, fiber, and copper. They are low in cholesterol and sodium, but because of their high sugar content, bananas should be given as a treat, not part of your dog’s main diet.
