Few groups of dogs generate as much debate, affection, fear and misunderstanding as the bull breeds. In Britain, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier has been a much-loved family dog for generations. The Bulldog has become something of a national symbol. French Bulldogs are now seen everywhere from city centres to country villages, while Bull Terriers, Bullmastiffs, Boxers and American Bulldogs all have their own devoted following.
