Life With a Bulldog

Are you looking for a friendly canine companion that enjoys that company of people, but won't wear you out demanding constant exercise and activity? If so, a Bulldog might be a great choice for you. Your Bulldog won't mind going on an occasional stroll with you, but this is definitely not a canine with a lot of excess energy to burn.

The Bulldog isn't the prettiest dog, but he is loving and loyal.

Good Dog for Small Spaces

As a matter of facts, Bulldogs often make perfect pets for condominium and apartment dwellers. They don't mind being outdoors on occasion, but Bulldogs are definitely more suited for a couch potato lifestyle than that of a yard dog. In warm climates, it's actually necessary to limit the amount of time these canines are allowed to spend out of doors. They get overheated very easily, and extended exposure to high temperatures can be very dangerous for these dogs.

Won't Win a Beauty Pageant

Bulldogs do not have a reputation for being beautiful pets. When it comes to appearance, Bulldogs are sometimes described as having faces that only a mother can love. Some people find them adorable and others find them highly unattractive. Many people simply say that these dogs are "so ugly that they are cute".

More couch potato than star athlete.

Short and Stocky

Adult Bulldogs generally stand just over a foot tall, and weigh in between 40 and 50 pounds. Even though they aren't huge, they have very muscular, beefy builds, and are quite strong and powerful. Bulldogs are characterized by big, dark eyes, short legs, broad bodies, and enormous jowls.

Bulldogs Love Mealtime

Like many sturdy dog breeds, Bulldogs really enjoy eating. While they have gentle loving natures virtually all of the time, Bulldogs aren't happy when other canines in the household come near their food. If you have more than one dog, and one of them is a Bulldog, it's advisable to use separate bowls for their food and water. Additionally, itís important to monitor your Bulldog's eating habits carefully to make sure he or she doesn't become obese.

Boorish, Jowly Droolers

Bulldogs aren't known for being elegant or particularly well mannered. Their huge jaws are floppy, and they tend to drool profusely and frequently. They also have a tendency to snore and experience flatulence on a regular basis.

A face only a mother could love? Perhaps!

What they lack in couth, Bulldogs more than make up for when it comes to providing loyal and loving canine companionship. If you want a strikingly beautiful, elegant dog, an Afghan Hound will definitely be a better choice for you than a Bulldog. However, if your primary concern is to find a canine companion that will provide you with love, companionship, and affection, then a Bulldog might be the perfect addition to your household.
