It is a juxtaposition of a top-winning bulldog in the UK, and bulldog from Robert Lieghton’s The New Book of the Dog (1907).
The dog in the Leighton Book is named Rival Stone, and it was pretty typical of a bulldog of the early twentieth century– and is quite different from the modern show bulldog.
The irony, of course, is that the Team Jenny (We was robbed!) Facebook group suggested this book as evidence that bulldogs haven’t changed at all.
It’s easy to prove that this is all nonsense, but Pai did a pretty good job here.
If you’d like to see how much many different breeds have changed over the years, check out Pai’s photobucket.
And if you’re into Chinese crested dogs and other hairless breeds, you should also check out The Chinese Crested Shrine.
The early bull-dogs look like frogs.
What they have now look more like a four-legged herbivorous dinosaur.
HAHA!
This movie creature is quite Bulldog-esque if you ask me.
The old one looks fierce and strong; the new one looks like a caricature of the old one!
Nothing but propergander here.
