Bulldog (disambiguation)-'English Bulldog' or 'British Bulldog'

Bulldog, also known colloquially as the English Bulldog or British Bulldog, is a medium-size breed of dog that originated in England, and the term may refer to any of several Bulldog breeds.

Appearance
The Bulldog comes in a variety of colours and ideally has a smooth, short coat. The only disqualifier for the breed in the show ring is a liver colored nose, although black-coated bulldogs are not preferred. In the US, the size of a typical mature male is about 50 pounds; that for mature females is about 40 pounds. In the
United Kingdom, the breed standard is 55 pounds for a male and 50 pounds for a female, but it is not uncommon for males to be 70 pounds.
