Bull Dogs have a higher tolerance for pain more so than other dog breeds. It’s important to do physical checks on them and regular visits to the vet since you may not be able to tell if anything is wrong with him or her.

This dog breed doesn’t need tons of strenuous exercise. They do need to be walked often but if the exercise routine is too heavy, they can over heat very easily so that’s something to keep in mind. The Bull Dog sweats through their feet so you will notice another way for them to get rid of the heat in their body is to pant heavily. When it’s hot outside, it’s important to keep them in a heat controlled environment. This isn’t the type of dog you want to take jogging with you on an 80 degree day.

Most dog breeds are known for some health problems and here are a few that the bull dog may run into: Pododermatitis - skin infection in the paws, Elbow Dysplasia - abnormal joint development, Fold Dermatitis - inflammation in the skin folds, Skeletal System Parosteitis - inflammation of the tissue surrounding the bone. Other dog breeds can have these same problems as well.

English Bulldogs are so adorable, how can you resist! This is a very loyal breed and so gentle and kind. The looks may throw you off a little bit, they do look pretty tough.

Like most other dogs you know, they have lots of energy as a young puppy but they calm down quite a bit once they get into their older age.

The English Bulldog does well with other animals most of the time and prefers to live an indoor lifestyle. They don’t like a whole lot of exercise since they do tend to overheat and the are easily over exerted. If you take him/her on too long of a walk, you may end up carrying your little friend back home.

The English Bulldog descended from ancient mastiffs from Asia. Bulldogs were bred in the 13th century for bull baiting when a bull was annually chased through the streets. Bull-baiting was a blood sport that involved the baiting of bulls.
