Despite its bloody beginnings, the English Bulldog
is today a friendly and lovable dog that adores its
family, and is unsurpassed in its relations with children.
The English Bulldog loves with the depth of its heart
and never tires of doing things with its owners. It
usually gets along well with other animals. Playful
and high-spirited as a puppy, the Bulldog grows up
to be a calm and dignified adult. The English Bulldog
is not for those who expect absolute obedience from
their dog, though the claim that Bulldogs think more
slowly than other dogs is not true.

Regular brushing with a rough cloth and minimal exercise.

not to take any exercise. Special care to powder his
fold and wrinkles and under his tail during hot weather.
Should not be over exerted in hot weather. He does not
make a good dog for the obedience enthusiast.
Health Issues:
