The French Bulldog was originally developed in England
as a miniature version of the
English Bulldog. These small
bulldogs were adopted by the Nottingham lace workers who went to
France and took their dogs with them. Streetwalkers in France
greatly admired the imports and this led to the nameFrench
Bulldog. When the breed was eventually brought back to England
for exhibition, the English made a big uproar about the name
French Bulldog, since the
Bulldog was originally an English breed
and because the Bulldog was a traditional symbol of English
culture.
