Character and Nature
Like most bulldogs, the English Bulldog also embodies: More appearance than reality - especially when it comes to its →strong, somewhat threatening stature with the compact head and short snout. Behind this muscle package lies a cuddle dog par excellence, who longs for a lot of affection and cuddle time in his daily life.
As slow and relaxed as the walk is, so →cozy is this dog breed in pretty much everything it does. While the English Bulldog usually meets its two-legged companions with a sensitive and attentive side, it sometimes also reveals its stubborn, headstrong nature. It is what it is: If the bulldog is not in the mood for a training session, it makes that very clear. However, in dealing with people and other dogs, the furry friend is sociable and always friendly.
Education and Keeping
Due to its calm nature, the English Bulldog is rather uncomplicated to keep: A warm spot in a →cozy bed, →tasty meals every day, and leisurely walks around the block and through the woods make this content animal more than satisfied. Those hoping for a →four-legged sports buddy by their side will likely not find one in the English Bulldog. The broad physique and weight mass at a small size require an adapted approach. For this reason, the →English dog breed can also be happy →in an apartment - as long as it doesn't have to walk up to the 6th floor in a Berlin old building.
Attention is essential for the English Bulldog. It wants to accompany its humans everywhere and fits perfectly into the →family picture with children. However, due to the occasionally stubborn side of the bulldog, the four-legged friend needs a secure retreat that is spared from →playing children and guarantees peace.
With a consistent hand on the other end of the leash, training proves to be joyful, as the English Bulldog is a very attentive companion, where a loving upbringing pays off. Due to its predominantly calm nature, the English Bulldog is also suitable for →beginners in terms of dog keeping.

Care and Health: Diseases of the English Bulldog
Like its relative, the →French Bulldog, some ailments are already apparent in the English Bulldog. The short-bred snout as part of "breeding for appearance" often leads to the four-legged friends having breathing problems - and that for a lifetime. Shortness of breath, excessive snoring, and heavy →panting, especially in summer are among the most common symptoms and ailments of the English Bulldog.
A reputable breeder that values a longer snout must be the go-to place if you want to welcome an English Bulldog into your life. In addition to typical breathing problems, various →allergies, heat sensitivity, and →epilepsy are the most common diseases in the "Bully."
The large skin folds also provide an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, which is why regular →coat and skin care is essential. Mild dog shampoos that are gentle on coat and paws are suitable for this. Continuous cleaning of the bulldog's small button ears should also be a priority.
