In January 2008, the American Kennel Club (AKC) announced their registration statistics for 2007, resulting in the bulldog wiggling its way into the top 10 most popular American dog breeds for the first time since 1935. A beloved sports mascot for the University of Georgia and a recurring Looney Tunes supporting character, the bulldog appeals to a large variety of dog lovers with its docility, ability to adjust, and fun-loving, goofy personality. Bulldogs also look particularly dashing in dog sweaters!
It has been said that a bulldog owner must have a sense of humor, and comedians such as Adam Sandler and Ron White, both proud bulldog owners, would likely stand by that statement. Other celebrities that own bulldogs include Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Biel, Sanaa Lathan, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, and Howard Stern. One bulldog that has become famous in his own right recently is a Southern California bulldog named Tyson, known worldwide as “the skateboarding bulldog”. Tyson has his own Myspace page and website, where his people sell many T-shirts bearing his likeness. In fact, the United States city where the bulldog is the most popular is Los Angeles, California, where it ranks #2—right after perennial national #1 favorite the Labrador.
