Boomer is an English Bulldog. See Boomer's Bio
for more information about him.
The English Bulldog
descended from ancient Mastiffs that originated in Asia and were brought
to Europe by nomads. Mastiffs were bred for ferocity in fighting,
holding, or bringing down aggressive prey. The Bulldog was bred in the
early 13th Century for bull baiting. It is mentioned in many
historical works, most notably, in Shakespeare's King Henry VI.
Bulldogs were exported to America and also to Germany. The last of
the working Bulldogs in England were crossed with Pug Dogs to create a
stocky, docile, family pet-known today as the English Bulldog. The breed
was first registered by the American Kennel Club in 1934 in the
non-sporting group and today is a popular show dog throughout the world.
