British Bulldog
Puppy
Fully Grown
When you think of a British bulldog, think of immense inner calm, which is hard to disturb. Their patience and calmness makes this breed the ideal companion for families with kids. This is especially true if you have a busy family life and can't exercise your dog much.
British Bulldogs don't need much exercise but will enjoy being taken along to your kids' sporting activities or any other activities. They are great for city life as they prefer to cruise around the streets and then go home and lie on the couch with you for some relaxation time.
Although they seem like a very chilled-out breed, they are quite sensible and find unfair treatment very insulting.
Their wrinkles need to be looked after on a daily basis to ensure they are clean and to avoid skin infections. As a result of over-breeding, they tend to have quite a few health issues. Warning, with this breed, it is quite common to spend a fair bit of time at the vet.
