Following the banning of bull baiting in 1835 the demand for bulldogs declined, however a small group of enthusiasts got together to try and perpetuate the breed. The first bulldog club was founded in 1864 and introduced the first set of standards for the breed; following the failure of this first club a second club was formed in 1875, this is seen as the forerunner of all dog clubs. The London Bulldog Society was formed shortly after.
