An English Bulldog is an amazingly lovely creature that you automatically just want to love unconditionally. One of the most distinctive features of an English bulldog's appearance is its beautiful head. The breed typically has a very large head with a flat snout. In addition, it most often has a distinct underbite that is not to be overlooked, but it is also extremely charming at the same time. The head is relatively wide, which also goes well with the very wide jaw that the breed has. In general, the dog is known to have a lot of skin that collects in folds or wrinkles, if you will. You can especially see this on the head. In addition, it has a relatively strong and muscular body, however, with very short legs, which automatically makes the breed look a little compact. The English Bulldog, despite its slightly "hard" appearance, is a friendly and gentle dog, which is good as the day is long. The breed is well suited as a family dog, especially for a less active family, as it does not require much exercise and really just enjoys relaxing and enjoying life. English Bulldogs are easy to breed and an excellent child dog with very high tolerance, which also makes the breed the obvious family dog. Due to its short muzzle, it can experience breathing problems in hot weather. It is therefore important that it does not exert itself too much in the form of strenuous exercise. An English Bulldog is a loving dog ​​who enjoys spending time with his family. However, one must know that it is a dog with its own opinions, and it can be a bit stubborn. To avoid dominance, it must be brought up with a determined routine and with a focus on mutual respect. As a puppy, an English Bulldog is full of energy, but becomes more calm and lethargic with age. An English Bulldog is a friendly and charming dog. With its roots in the sport of dog fighting, it can also get very angry if provoked, so you should avoid that. It can alternately be exuberantly happy, loving and headstrong, almost too stubborn, but it is never erratic.
A daily walk at a calm pace, preferably in an exciting environment, meets the adult dog's exercise needs, as it does not have a high need for activity. On the other hand, it requires a good social life as the undisputed center of the family, and it will definitely thrive on that as well. Originally, the English Bulldog was bred to be a fighting dog. Therefore, there are many who still fear an English Bulldog and its temperament. Over time, however, the temperament of the breed has been greatly reduced, and there is usually nothing to fear with this breed. However, it is very important that you start raising and training the dog from a young age, as being a fighting dog is something that lies in its instinct. You will need to be consistent from the start to show who is deciding. It is vigilant and can act as a reasonably good watchdog, but it will usually do nothing. An English Bulldog will without a doubt function well in a family, even where there are children present. It is a loving and reliable dog that loves to spend time with its owner and family. It also wants to live with other dogs, especially if they are also English Bulldogs. Also, the breed will easily be able to live with other animals such as cats. The breed grows to about 35-40 cm with a weight of up to 25 kg.
The breed is individualistic and there are great variations within the breed in terms of temperament and behavior. However, the dog should never be exposed to stressful activity, as it can be affected by breathing difficulties, especially on hot summer days, which can be a rather unpleasant experience for the dog.
The breed's short, fine and smooth fur is easily kept free of loose hair with regular brushing. The deep skin folds, especially on the head, and the violent lip folds should always be kept clean and dry to avoid skin irritations and other nuisances.
The breed requires a lot of patience when training, but you get far with rewards and training in short sequences.
