Is English Bulldog the Right Breed for You?
English Bulldogs for sale: English Bulldogs are gentle and fun-loving pet dogs with a big personality. This is a breed which was specifically created for bull baiting. They have since then become a family oriented loyal companion. Prospective owners should be aware of some personality traits and characteristics of the bulldog breed, before getting an English Bulldog. Here are tips to help decide whether a bulldog is for you,
English bulldogs were first breed in England as a working dog breed. They herded cattle and guarded flocks. The modern English Bull dog is not very energetic and even has a disdain for exercise. Today English bulldogs are smaller in stature and have a thick and large skull. The skin on the skull and head falls into folds thus giving the English bulldog its unique look. English bulldogs have short muzzles and short legs that give the English bulldog a unique gait. The coat of the English bulldog is easy to groom. Their fur is short and fine and they can be easily brushed or combed out. The wrinkles or flood of the breed’s skin need to be cleaned regularly of the debris from the house or yard that may have gotten stuck in the fold’s of the English bulldog’s skin. It is a very compact breed and it is very much suited well for apartment dwelling. The down side of this breed is that the English bulldog drools and tends to also snore very loudly.
The temperament of the bulldog is one of gentleness and torpidity. They are not a breed athletic and make the ideal indoor dog. English bulldogs do make good watch dogs since they are very loyal to their families and will chase away an intruder that tries to enter the owner’s home. They can’t tolerate temperature extremes well at all and should mostly live inside. They will tolerate an urban apartment lifestyle without quetching. They can as a breed tend to develop weight problems. Bulldogs should be exercised daily going on walks even if they resist you taking them. English Bulldogs are not an outdoor dogs; in warm climates or during summer heat. They are more vulnerable to heat stroke than other breeds of dogs that are the same size.
The term “bulldog” was used to denote this breed around 1568 since it resembled a bull a bit and was used for bull baiting. The breed was bred to be less sensitive to pain. The dog was also breed to be fearless as in bull baiting the dog had to be hardy enough to leap at the bull and latch on to the bull’s snout. The English bulldog was used for bear baiting as well.
Taking an English bulldog out for an afternoon promenade will be a daunting task. They tend to sit down or head back home after a few minutes. Like all dogs they can be taught to walk on a leash, but it might take you a little extra effort to get your English Bull dog to be corporative. Remember, the English bulldog’s tendency to want to eat and sleep more than other breeds can lead to obesity so walking your English Bull dog regularly is something you must do no matter how much they resist. English Bulldogs are the mules of dog breeds when it comes to engaging them in activities. When your English bulldog is feeling their version of bulldog frisky they will be as curious as a cat and are likely to drool on your newspaper while you are trying to read it.
English bulldogs as a breed are more tended to have respiratory and hip perturbs. They also incline to have vision problems, such as cherry eye. Still the breed tends to be good with children and tolerates cats. English bulldogs will be an ideal pet for an urban dweller or lethargic older couple.
