This is true. I think it's terrible what they've done to the bulldog simply for aesthetics.
This was a bulldog in 1790.

Looking more like today's Bulldog but a better figure and not such a smooshed face.

Same with Pug's. Their faces were 'smooshed' simply because breeders wanted a more human-like expression.
