Ekuqaleni kweminyaka yee-1800, abasebenzi baseNorman leyisi baseNgilani baya kufuna umsebenzi eFransi. Bahamba noobulldog abancinci ukuze bazigcine ezifama njengabalingane kunye nokugcina iimpuku kude. Udumo lwale nja eyomeleleyo lwakhula ngokukhawuleza kwiindawo ezisemantla eFransi. Enyanisweni, abafuyi beBulldog eNgilani babekuvuyela ukulondoloza olu hlobo “lutsha” ngokuthengisa izinja zabo ezimfutshane kumaFrentshi.
Inja yamkelwa ngokubanzi njengeqabane lasekhaya elinefashoni kakhulu, igcinwe njengesilwanyana sasekhaya ngabaphezulu kunye nosapho lwasebukhosini. Enye i-bulldog yaseFransi, i-inshurensi yemali engakholelekiyo (ngelo xesha) ye-750 yeedola, yayikwi-Titanic. Ngasekupheleni kwe-1800 kunye ne-1900 yokuqala, i-French Bulldog yayithathwa njengenja yoluntu oluphezulu; uhlobo lusatsala abantu abaxabisa izinto ezintle ebomini.
