Other Names

Bulldog

English Bulldog dog

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 English 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.

It 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 them or the “couch potato” family. Contrary to popular belief it does not drool, but it may snore.
