Bulldog....a breed apart

Everyday I used to see this dog running around in our compound. Just loved its agility, small built yet fierce looking style...thus wanted to sketch it up.

Some Dope on BullDogs :
Bulldogs got their name because they were especially bred for Bull Baiting.
This was a “sport” in which a bull was chained to a pole, and dogs were let loose to tear the bull to bits while spectators watched and cheered.
The sport was made illegal in 1835, and breeders began breeding the traits of viciousness and fearlessness from these dogs so the breed could live on as house pets.
