English Bulldogs - Five Facts You Need to Know Before Deciding If This Breed is For You
Unluckily the English Bulldog receives more than his fair share of bad publicity and is often lumped into the category of a dangerous dog when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.
The English Bulldog is one of the most faithful breeds and if you own one you will know he will always be at your side even if you walk from one room to another.
There a story that has been past down through the generations about a bulldog whose owner was seriously ill in bed.
The bulldog laid in his room for two weeks and only left his owners side to eat and relieve himself.
Sadly the owner died and even after his body was removed from the house the dog stayed in his owners bedroom and died just four days after.
The English Bulldog is very, very stubborn and unless you can accept this he is not a dog breed you should consider.
It is not that he is purposely disobedient he just doesn't have the inclination to do anything quickly or without giving any order serious consideration.
He will consider what you have asked of him and then make a decision one way or the other.
Bulldogs are not vicious but are very brave and will die to protect their family.
They are more likely to let a burglar in the house and then hold him hostage than not let him in in the first place.
Bulldogs are fantastic with children and will put up with pulling and prodding of little ones with an air of resignation.
They become very attached to their owners and do not adapt well if they have to be rehomed if the need allows.
Bulldogs don't need that much exercise and a thirty minute stroll per day will satisfy most and they won't eat you out of house and home either.
If you feed them a mixture of meat and biscuit twice a day this should be sufficient.
You will find the Bulldog sleeps anywhere as long as you are in the same room.
The heavy lump ideally will sleep as close to you as possible and will lay across your feet if he can.
If he sleeps in front of the TV ensure you have the volume on high otherwise you won't hear it over his snoring.
If you can put up with that and his stubborn streak you will have a loyal dog that will protect you, allow your children to play with him and won't need to much exercise
