10 reasons to add a English Bulldog to your family

Although they are more lovers than fighters, the English Bulldog's presence alone is enough to make any intruder think twice, making them an excellent home security system.

English Bulldogs are one breed suitable for all working people. If you have an office job or work standard-length shifts, this canine will get used to your schedule and do fine alone.

Bulldogs are calm and laid-back, which makes them a perfect fit for loud, active households. This dog will bring some much-needed yin into your life.

This breed is known to have many silly, goofy personality quirks with a great sense of humour.

These low-endurance dogs only need moderate exercise, so you'll never have to take them on long walks or play with them for hours.

As they don't need a garden, this canine can do fine living in a flat. However, a lift is necessary because of their weight - trust me, you don't want to carry this dog up multiple flights of stairs!

Along with being born and bred in Britain, Bulldogs go way back. The first mention of the Bulldog was in 1500, but they could date back to the 5th century!

The Bulldog is used as a mascot or in logos of many universities, sports clubs and other companies, including the US Marines. This is because the breed represents courage, endurance and loyalty.

Of course, the Bulldog's wrinkly forehead is one of the most appealing aspects of this dog's look.

Whether a young couple, a big family with kids, or empty-nesters, an English Bulldog will complete your home.

Meet the English Bulldog

As its name suggests, the English Bulldog was born and bred in Britain and is one of the most loved breeds in the country.

English Bulldogs have a distinctive appearance. They are short, standing only 16 inches tall but very muscular, which makes them big canines. Females typically weigh a whopping 50 pounds (23 kilograms), while males can weigh even more, up to 54 pounds (24 kilograms). Therefore, this isn't a dog you can easily carry around unless you're a weightlifter, that is!

The English Bulldog has a large, short-muzzled head that sits atop its low-slung and thick-set body. They boast broad, muscular shoulders and chests and four short but dense, robust legs.

Their large square head sports an extremely short muzzle, which gives their face a flattened appearance. They have low-set dark eyes below their significantly wrinkled forehead and small ears that angle forwards like flaps.

Below their eyes is a black nose with large nostrils and a wide jaw with fleshy lips that overhang. In addition, they typically have a lot of loose skin around their throat and neck. Another distinct appearance trait of the English Bulldog is the dip in its spine visible on its back just below the shoulders.

Lastly, they have short, fine textured coats, which will be one of the following colour patterns; brindle, piebald, and solid white, red, fawn or fallow.

The temperament of an English Bulldog

As mentioned, the English Bulldog is incredibly sweet and gentle, despite how they have been portrayed in TV and the media. Their temperament certainly doesn't match their looks, which always surprises people meeting this breed for the first time.

English Bulldogs are known to be calm, reliable, and dependable. They also have low energy levels and even tend to be lazy and stubborn regarding exercise. Thus, you might have to entice them with their favourite treats to get them out on a walk.

They are sociable dogs who are friendly to everyone, and particularly get on well with children. In addition, they have a lot of courage and don't get scared quickly, which makes them excellent watchdogs.

English Bulldogs are certainly not the most intelligent breed. This doesn't mean they can't be trained, though. Once they learn a command, they will never forget it; it may just take them some time to pick it up.

They love human affection and are always eager to please their owners. As they are naturally confident, these dogs don't tend to experience separation anxiety, and with training, they can be left alone during the average workday.

Best homes for an English Bulldog

English Bulldogs are terrific family dogs who often become great friends with children. However, always supervise these hefty dogs with small kids and babies to ensure they don't accidentally crush them.

English Bulldogs fit most types of families and environments very well. Whether you live in an apartment or are away from home for 8 hours a day, this canine will adjust and do just fine.

However, note that Bulldogs can't tolerate heat and humidity and are sensitive to the cold. So on warm summer's day, you'll need to ensure their environment stays cool with fans and cooling pads. Likewise, in the winter, you may need to keep the heating on for them while you're at work.

Lastly, some Bulldogs can act aggressively towards other dogs if they have not grown up around them. Thus, if introducing them to another canine, do it gradually and with caution.

FAQs about the English Bulldog

We've joined forces with the top English Bulldog breeders in Britain who are fully certified, registered and highly regarded in their field. They have numerous years of experience and a strong passion for this courageous yet loving breed.

You may wonder how we know our breeders are trustworthy. To work with us, they must pass rigorous checks and meet our high standards.

We strive for all Pedigree Paws puppies to be raised in the safest, cleanest, and most comfortable living conditions. Thus, all our English Bulldog puppies stay with their mother in the breeder's home until they are ready to go to their forever families.

English Bulldogs are perfect fits for most families and homes. They get along great with children, can be left alone for reasonable periods, and don't need access to a garden.

The only thing to remember is that they are not always the friendliest with other dogs, so if you plan on having a multi-dog household, introduce them while they are young to ensure a happy relationship.

You'll be pleased to know the people behind The Pedigree Paws are all passionate and loving pet owners. So I'm sure you'll understand when we say we would never consider supporting unethical breeding.

Rest assured, we will never work with any commercial breeding facility. We strictly only associate with private breeders who breed their personal dogs and raise the puppies in their homes at a natural rate.

Moreover, because we're committed to improving dog breeding conditions, we have created a strict, comprehensive application procedure that all breeders must go through. We also conduct various checks before accepting a new breeder onto our site to ensure they run truly ethical operations.

It is important to note that English Bulldogs do have several health concerns. For example, they are a severely brachycephalic (flat-faced) breed, which can cause breathing difficulties and other medical conditions.

Because of this, we do our utmost to ensure all English Bulldog puppies from The Pedigree Paws are in top health. For example, all breeders are required to do DNA health tests on their breeding dogs and each puppy produced. These tests are vital to check for any genetic disorders in the bloodline that could shorten their lifespan.

Our breeders will also prepare your baby Bulldog for an excellent start in life by taking them to a vet for a check-up, vaccination, and microchip.

We have a strict standard procedure that all English Bulldogs must stay with their mother for eight weeks minimum. This is a crucial period for their growth and development; thus, getting a puppy less than eight weeks old is not possible.

Moreover, as development is individual, some puppies need longer with their mother. If your puppy is not fully weaned at eight weeks, it will need to stay a little longer as we do not promote forced weaning. Regardless, your breeder will be in touch with the expected arrival date.

Yes, of course! We seek to help you feel comfortable and confident in the puppy-buying process. Moreover, we know choosing a new furry friend is challenging if you cannot meet them first.

This is why we allow you to schedule a video call with the breeder. This way, you virtually meet your potential new Bulldog and see its parents. You'll be able to observe their health and temperament to ensure this pup is the right one for you.

All Pedigree Paws breeders provide proof of their Bulldog puppies' pedigree registration. They will send the original documentation along with your new four-legged friend. Moreover, the documentation will come from one of the leading pedigree organisations, such as the United Kennel Club (UKC).

We can confidently say that our English Bulldog puppies come from the best breeders in the UK, US and Europe. We know this as we have a thorough application procedure every breeder goes through, narrowing down to only the very best in the industry.

Along with The Pedigree Paws application process, all our Bulldog breeders meet the rules and conditions set out by renowned pedigree organisations, such as The Kennel Club, American Kennel Club and FCI.

Yes, all our Bulldog puppies are only raised in the breeder's home with their mother and siblings. In a clean, warm, and cosy environment, they receive all the love and care they need to grow into even-tempered and loving companion dogs. We are also committed to puppy-led weaning so all puppies gain independence in their own time.

We are 100% against commercial breeding, so you can rest assured we will never work with puppy mills or pet farms. In these facilities, the puppies are forced to wean and removed from their mother too early, which sadly causes both mother and babies severe stress and often health or developmental problems.

Every puppy's personality differs; some Bulldogs settle into their new home instantly, while others require time. Although you can't predict how quickly they will acclimatise in your home, you can do some things to promote a stress-free experience.

When your baby Bulldog arrives, we recommend you keep them in one room with the door closed for at least a few hours. Of course, try to interact with them, but also provide a dark, quiet corner where they can retreat if they feel overwhelmed or anxious.

Then, when your Bulldog puppy seems ready to explore, keep them leashed, as this will help to establish leadership roles immediately.
