Quality Healthy AKC English Bulldogs For Sale, Why Buy a Bulldog Puppy From Us
According to bulldoginformation.com, in general, the qualities most
often mentioned about English bulldogs are "faithfulness, stubborness,
protectiveness and devotion to loved ones."
The intelligence of the bulldog is often questioned. A friend of mine
was watching Lucy while I was on vacation, and she said the dog wouldn't
come when she was called. It's not that Lucy isn't smart (however, this
is definately questionable), it's actually her stubborness shining
through. Lucy didn't want to come because she was too busy being lazy
and didn't want to go outside. What appears as stubborness is actually
the ability to prioritize. A bulldog won't jump at your command, but
evaluate it. The idea that the bulldog is lazy probably developed
because of their exaggerated features.
If a prize were awarded for companionship among dog breeds, the bulldog
would win the gold. They will do anything to make you laugh, and they
are wonderful with children and the elderly. They are sensitive to your
moods; when you are happy they are perky. Part of their charm is that
they look tough, but really aren't at all. Most bulldogs are brave and
will guard and defend their owner if they are threatened. If you are
looking for a full-time body guard, however, it's probably not the right
breed for you. My house was broken into once when I wasn't home, and
Harley was laying on the couch, unmoved by the strangers who had broken a
window in the living room and trashed all the bedrooms. He was always
very friendly with strangers.
There are some common traits about bulldogs that I think every new owner
needs to know. The saying "They are so ugly they're cute" is definately
true. They smell-- a lot. They drink gallons of water and trail it all
over the house. They lick, and they chew everything. I think these
traits give the dog character and personality. They make you laugh!
Care for adult English bulldogs involves the following:
- regular feeding in the morning and at night(some dogs require special food to prevent alleriges)
- light exercise once a day
- daily facial cleaning to prevent fold dermatitis
- regular vet visits
- a good couch to sleep on, like the snoring dog in the video below.
