English Bulldogs can be the clowns around town and some people swear they do have an uncanny sense of humor.
In the past when they were used to bait bulls, they have now been bred to be sweet tempered and the ideal family companion. English
bulldogs are the descendents of the Mastiff- type dog, known as the Mollossus. They have become the virtual couch potato and will lay back with you anytime for a quick snooze or a long afternoon nap.
You will find that English Bulldogs are strong willed and they will need obedience classes as early as possible while they are pups. They never whine or complain and they are not a demanding dog. Instead of them barking you are more than likely hear them snoring or grunting or passing gas, which they are a little better at than most dogs. But hey, we all have our faults and you will find this more comical than annoying. This may give you the idea that Bulldogs do not like to exercise, but this is not true. They love a walk in the park and going on a jogging run in the morning. However, don't make this run too long or your Bulldog could end up hitching a ride home in your arms.
English Bulldogs do love to be inside, although they will go outside at intervals. You should not leave your English Bulldog outside on his own because this dog breed is very sensitive to heat and too cold. This can be helped by getting a line of clothing to wear on the days that are too cold and there are many to be found online. When the temperature becomes too hot an air- conditioned room will suffice to stay cool enough to be comfortable.
English Bulldogs may have short coats, but that doesn't mean they don't need maintenance. They need regular
grooming and care. Their eyes and wrinkles need to be cleaned daily, and it may surprise you to know that his food has a direct bearing on his coat, health and temperament. This is a good reason to choose one of the wonderful premium dog foods that are available. Make sure it is the right one for your dog. They really need high quality
food.
English Bulldogs need your attention for the simple fact that they are not demanding dogs. Therefore, you have to make sure that they have enough food and water when they need it. They just don't complain of hunger and thirst and you need to be attentive to this. So it is all up to you to see to your dog's needs. It will not ask as some dogs do when they need certain things. You will hardly ever hear him whine or bark and he will be the loyal companion that you've always dreamed of. English Bulldogs make the very best lifetime friends.
