The English Bulldog is relatively easy to train, but definitely takes some work for more complicated commands. If you are looking for a breed to sit, stay and play dead for treats, this is the breed for you. While they may not be the sharpest tool in the shed compared to some of the other highly intelligent breeds, they are easy going and apt to please their owner. Training this breed will be accomplished with less difficulty if you make the training reward based, as I have never seen a Bulldog that doesn’t love a treat.

This breed is generally agreeable to most environments. Although they easily adapt to a noisy and chaotic household, they are not very tolerant to extreme weather, whether it be hot or cold. They will also greatly appreciate it if you do not leave them alone for extended periods of time, as they are known as a “People Puppy” and crave human interaction.

You do not need to be a professional dog trainer to own an English Bulldog. They are good for most novice owners because they are passive by nature.

Although they are well liked and very popular, one must be aware of the potential health pitfalls with this breed. Some of the potential issues you can see with the breed is Cherry Eye, Entropion, or dysplasia. This breed also has a high risk for weight gain, so this should be monitored. An average Bulldog life span is between 8 and 12 years.

The English Bulldog is an average shedder, so brushing him twice a week with a firm brush will be a good idea. Also, they can have a tendency to drool, so making sure you wipe their face off everyday can help assure they do not suffer irritation on their faces and between their wrinkles. Because of the amount of wrinkles they have, it is recommended that you clean between the wrinkles fairly often to avoid irritations. You should also make sure you brush this dogs teeth at least twice a week to avoid dental issues.

The English Bulldog is a generally low energy breed. They do not require a lot of exercise, but when they do play, they play hard! Because they can be intense when they do have an energy burst, an owner must be aware of overexertion. They can be very playful but do tend to tire out quickly.

The English Bulldog is a short, stocky breed that should weigh between 40-50 pounds.
