Bulldog

Bulldogs look fierce due to their strong appearance and facial features but they are just as sweet as any other dog. With love and attention they will protect and be loyal to you for your entire life. Those who want the incredibly active dog that can run hours without tiring out probably will want to give the bulldog a miss. They need to be walked but are not as energy prone as other breeds.

The Bulldog does need to be protected from the heat. In fact heat is their worst enemy. If you live in an area where the summer temperature gets above 80F then you will need an air-conditioned home to keep you bulldog comfortable.

The Bulldog does offer lots of advantages. They are great in either households or apartments. They have a good temperament toward children and other pets. They are also incredibly alert. They may look like they are sounds asleep but can rise to action quickly if they hear or sense something isn’t right.

The Bulldog has a relatively short life span. The average life of a bulldog is 10 years, although it can be extended with a good diet and exercise. Bulldogs do make good pets but keep their needs in perspective. If you need a dog to go on long runs with you then a more active dog may be for you.

You can get a bulldog from a variety of locations. There are bulldog breeders where you can get bulldog puppies or adult dogs. There are also bulldog rescues that have dogs needing a home. This is highly recommended and is one of the most rewarding things that you can do. Bulldogs will settle into a new home and will learn to trust again. You may also get a variety of breeds from American bulldogs to English and French bulldogs.

Bulldogs do look like tough fierce animals because of their appearance but they are as loving as any other dog. With love and caring they will reciprocate. They will also keep you protected and occupied. Keep in mind that a bulldog will need vet care and food throughout its life. However, with caring and support you can make a bulldog your best friend.
