Bulldog edges out the Rottweiler to take the coveted titled of world’s manliest dog
The English Bulldog has been voted the world’s manliest dog, in a new survey by leading men’s grooming brand The Bluebeards Revenge .
The iconic bread picked up a fifth of the public vote (20%), with the Rottweiler second on 18% and the German Shepard third on 12%.
At the other end of the ‘manliness dog scale’, the Chihuahua (37%) was named the least manly dog on the planet, followed by the Poodle (19%) and the Pug (9%).
Nick Gibbens, spokesperson for The Bluebeards Revenge, said: “The English Bulldog is certainly what you would describe as a ‘real man’s dog’ and is a deserving winner of the title ‘world’s manliest dog’.
“Our brand is marketed as the world’s manliest grooming range as it’s designed for men with tough stubble. We would like to think that we stand for everything that is masculine in today’s society, which was why we set out to crown planet Earth’s most manly dog.
“A dog is also a man’s best friend so it seemed like a match made in heaven.”
Other dogs in the “manly” top 12 include the Great Dane, Rhodesian Ridgeback and Irish Setter.
Meanwhile, the Maltese, Dachshund and the Shih Tzu all finished in the feminine top 10.
The Bulldog, also known as ‘Bulldog’ or ‘British Bulldog’, is a very well built and stocky breed for its size. They are well known for their wrinkles on their face.
Established in late 2010, The Bluebeards revenge has rapidly established itself as the shaving brand to have. Formulated with a unique beard-reducing ingredient, The Bluebeards Revenge shaving products actively reduce beard growth, tackle the discomfort of razor rash and burn whilst reducing lumps and bumps for the problem shaver. The range also consists of pre shave oil, after-shave balm, deodorant and ‘doubloon’ brush.
The brand prides itself on its “not to be missed” packaging and unique approach to market with their tag line, “The Ultimate Shaving Experience For Real Men”.
