* Bulldogs are also extremely popular as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bulldog_mascots sports mascots]].
** The Cleveland Browns' official mascot may be a brownie, but it's more likely you'll see someone wearing the "Dawg" on his shirt, a big orange bulldog!
** There are also the Bulldogs who are the mascots of Yale, the University of Georgia, Gonzaga, Butler and the Citadel.
** A proud, red bulldog is also the mascot for Barq's root beer. (It doesn't really look like the bulldogs of today, it's more muscular.)
** Similar to the Barq's example, there's the mascot for Mack trucks.
* Believe it or not, Bulldogs are cited as being very friendly dogs, especially for families with children. They'd actually prefer to sleep on someone's lap and wouldn't leave their yard without a human companion. This was intentional as all of the viciousness that made it such a good work dog was bred out as well as shortening the muzzle so that it won't be able to bite (which lead the breed to have both breathing and birthing problems).
* While this trope has become a DeadHorseTrope for bulldogs themselves, other bully breeds still play this trope straight. Bullmastiffs descend from the English Bulldog and the English Mastiff, and make impressive guard dogs due to their size and fearlessness. Meanwhile, the Pit Bull breeds were unfortunately bred for dog fighting, and efforts to breed this trait out of them have been far more recent. While Pit Bulls are surprisingly gentle most of the time, dog experts insist never taking it for granted, especially with other dogs, smaller animals, and young children.

* In the novel ''Literature/WhiteFang'', the wolf fights a bulldog in a dogfight. Cherokee the bulldog subverts this trope because he is [[http://london.sonoma.edu/Writings/WhiteFang/4chapter4.html described as neither vicious or bullying]]: "Cherokee did not seem anxious to fight. He turned his head and blinked at the men who shouted, at the same time wagging his stump of a tail good-naturedly. He was not afraid, but merely lazy." He's more an instance of KillerRabbit with a side ImplacableMan, calmly wearing White Fang down to the strangling point.

Bulldogs being [[ViciousCycle vicious]] and [[HairTriggerTemper short-tempered]] is a DeadHorseTrope now since bulldogs ''were'' vicious many years ago when they were still bred to fight bulls for sport, hence the name. When this sport was outlawed, bulldogs had their viciousness bred out of them so they could be kept as pets.
