Bet you didn't know these things about English Bulldogs!

1. 43 Universities in the US have the Bulldog as their mascot, making it one of the most popular in the country


2. An English Bulldog can actually run at up to 15 mph. That assumes he or she wants to, because you can't make them if they don't want to. Bulldogs tend to live up to their stubborn reputation...


3. Despite their stubbornness, Bulldogs are actually quite intelligent. Once trained they make excellent pets or even watch dogs :-o


4. The English Bulldog that we know and love today is a descendant of the Mastiff and possibly the Pug, though debate still rages over that last fact


5. Bulldogs are VERY sensitive to heat and can begin to exhibit heat related problems once the temperature reaches only 75 F
