What You Need To Know About Bulldog Puppies

by Bobby Callahan

Everyone knows the Bulldog breed. In fact it has been a favorite among people for at least a hundred years. The British originally used the Bulldog as a fighting dog to help protect their livestock. When bullfighting was popular the Bulldog became a quick favorite because of their strong bite. Their characteristically large head and strong, square build helps to give them their solid and muscular build. Their strong bite comes from their strong and undershot jaw and their strong appearance comes from their short and square muzzle.

However, English Bulldog puppies are actually gentle towards their owners despite their ferocious look and dominant personality. There are a few aspects of this breed that you should consider before deciding if English Bulldog puppies are right for you and your household. Since everyone is different and every dog is different it is important that you choose a breed and dog that matches what you are looking for.

English Bulldog puppies have a very patient and tolerant attitude, which makes them excellent with children. In fact the Bulldog has become one of the best breeds for people with children over the years. Often the breed will play with children and does not get easily irritated or complain should the child accidentally hurt them.

When it comes to strangers and other dogs the Bulldog is very tenacious and dominant. So if English Bulldog puppies want to go after something they will pursue it persistently and aggressively. This dominant characteristic is always displayed even if the Bulldog is in the presence or territory of another dog. This can lead to dog fights if you aren’t careful and maintain full control of English Bulldog puppies.

So if you want a guard dog then the Bulldog is probably right for you. The ferocious look and aggressive attitude of the breed will definitely scare off intruders. However, they don’t usually bark or give a warning before attacking so they aren’t the best for those who want a dog that will warn them.

The tolerant behavior of English Bulldog puppies also has some disadvantages. Because of this behavior you will have to be very perceptive to your dogs feelings otherwise they can become very sick before you have a chance to treat the condition. English Bulldog puppies don’t easily express themselves whether they are injured, feeling ill, thirsty, hungry or simply cold and often won’t let you know something is wrong.

You will also have a difficult time restraining your dog if you don’t properly train them from an early age because of this behavior You should also be aware that English Bulldog puppies have a very high sense of the right and wrong and will sulk for days if they believe they are being unjustly punished. Without energy and patience you will have a hard time dealing with headstrong English Bulldog puppies.

Instead you may want to consider a more placid and less dominant dog. Just remember that these are general temperaments and all dogs are different so you might still find the perfect Bulldog for you
