English Bulldog and English Bulldog pictures
The Bulldog is the national symbol of Britain. This dog breed has
a medium size, dense and powerful, low-slung body with wide shoulders
and a massive short-faced head, smooth coat. Despite its early breeding
to bait bulls, the Bulldog is gentle and good-natured and makes
an excellent companion for the whole family. An ideal pet, as he
loves to be in the company of his family. He adores children and
makes an excellent companion to them because of his gentle, sometimes
stubborn nature. He is a laid-back, loyal good natured and undemanding
companion who would make a great companion for the elderly who do
not want to feel guilty for not walking him or the "couch potato"
family. Contrary to popular belief he does not drool, but he may
snore. The Bulldog is a friendly and good-natured dog breed. Gentle,
affectionate, docile, and mellow, very good with children and strangers.
A lot of human attention is required for their happiness. When Bulldogs
are young, they are full of energy, but slow down as they get older.
Some Bulldogs may be aggressive with strange dogs, but generally
get along well with other pets. |
