SIZE: The English Bulldog has a shoulder height of 31-36 cm (12-14
in) and weighs 22-25 kg (48-55 lbs). It is known for its short, wide
muzzle, undershot jaw, and wide droopy face giving the appearance of
a frown. English Bulldogs have short legs and tails, rounded chests,
and compact, muscular bodies.
COAT: The English Bulldog has a short, smooth, glossy coat which
can be beige, mottled, brindle, or white.
TEMPERAMENT: English Bulldogs enjoy mixing with other dogs and
household pets. They are great with children, well behaved, adaptable,
comfortable companions with an affectionate nature and even
disposition. Some English Bulldogs are cautious with strangers, but
most are friendly to everyone. They are likely to drool or snore.
TRAINING: Consistency is important, but the English Bulldog is highly
sensitive to the tone of its handler’s voice, making training a fairly
simple process. It is inquisitive and quick to learn simple tasks, yet
unpredictable as it is a bit stubborn on occasion.
ACTIVITY: The exercise needs of the English Bulldog are
uncomplicated. It will adapt itself to the activity level of your family.
Sufficient rest is key to development of healthy bones, muscles, and
joints-do not expect your English Bulldog to run long distances or jump
down from tall ledges. English Bulldogs are well suited to apartment life.
