Tacked on Shoulder of the Bulldog

My mentor Florence Savage told me there was a reason the bulldogs shoulders were tacked on. During the days of bull baiting the bulldog crawled across the arena to sneak up on the bull this was a good distance , they did not want the shoulders of a working or sporting dog as the dog would tire very easily and by having the shoulders tacked on he could do this job with great ease.

I laughed when she told me this as I had Buford in obedience & we were going for our last leg for our companion dog title, I had him on the long down and after 1 minute he crawled faster than any dog I ever trained, all the way came directly in front of me & cocked his head. I was so mad at him at the time but little did I know history was repeating itself!
