A dog will look at you as if to say, “What do you want me to do for you? I’ll do anything for you.”

Considered a symbol of England itself, the Bulldog was originally bred for the now-illegal sports of bull-baiting and pit-fighting. Courageous and tenacious, he has been used to fight bulls, bears, badgers, and other dogs. The Bulldog is of ancient stock. It is believed he was brought to England by Phoenician traders in the 6th century BC. 

The Bulldog's thick-set, low-slung body was developed to minimize his chances of injury when taking on a bull.

The Bulldog is compact and powerful and stands up to 14 inches at the shoulder. His coat is short, smooth and sleek, and comes in white, red, fawn, brindle, or piebald. The Bulldog is susceptible to extremes of temperature and should be protected from excessive heat and cold.

The very picture of dignity, the Bulldog is a placid, docile, even-tempered animal with a low activity level who is ideally suited to the elderly or "couch potato" families. A lovable, undemanding, good-natured companion, the Bulldog loves his family and is excellent with children. He may not be the best dog for obedience trials as he has a stubborn streak!

If you can't live with snuffling, snorting, and even snoring, this isn't the dog for you.  The Bulldog's famous face makes him prone to these kinds of noises!  His owners should keep an eye on his waistline, too. A carefully balanced diet and some exercise will prevent a tendency to obesity.
