If bulldogs don't breed naturally, what did they do before humans were able to "help them out"?

Question

I heard that bull dogs have to be artificially inseminated because the male chest is too big to get mounted on the female or something like that.
So how did they survive in the wild before humans were able to do this? Or is this a breed that humans "created" or something and were never in the wild?

I'm just wondering how they even exsisted before human aid came along if they can't breed by themselves.

Answer 1

The English Bulldog is a created breed, made by selectively breeding for certain characteristics over time. I have not heard that they cannot breed naturally, but I do know that many of the females cannot deliver pups naturally, due to the size of their heads.

Answer 2

yes people created this breed. No domestic dogs came from the wild...just their wild ancestors the wolf. People started to raise wolf pups for certain attributes and slowly after 100's of years of breading you have all the breeds of today.

Answer 3

Like you said "Human created". Bulldogs was at first a "Hybrid". The Jolly Ol British were trying to make the "ultimate hunting dog". And boy did they make a big OOPSIE. But I like them nonetheless....Cute dog.
