The unique physical traits of the English Bulldog make it predisposed to an array of medical concerns. The short face, sensitivity to temperature extremes, excessive skin folds, and elevated hip position (above the shoulder line) can lead to medical issues. Some of these issues may require lifelong treatment or surgical correction, so this dog breed can become very expensive.
They are generally good with children and can be quite affectionate with their families.
Having a low to moderate energy level, bulldogs are well-suited for indoor living. While they don’t require extensive exercise, daily walks are essential to prevent weight gain. They prefer a relaxed lifestyle and are content with about 15 minutes of play before needing a nap.
