I am thinking about getting another dog. I have always had my eye on English bulldogs. Are they suitable pets? Are they good around other dogs and cats?
Answers:
Hello, if the bulldog is a pup they all might get along, if any other dog is territorial %26 tempermental, then it can be nearly impossible..tho with puppies, things are usually calmer, it's when you try to introduce 2 adult dogs that problems can arise.. all dogs are somewhat territorial, we have 2 that don't mind any other dog %26 2 others who do...just how some are..tho I believe the kind of bulldog you want are pretty laid back dogs...the biggest problem with purebreds is they have been so overbred, even by Pro's, they can have many health problems...Take Care :)
ya sure
yea good dogs all the way around but there buttocks smells alot and you cant really get rid of it. even if you shower them in tomato sauce. hahaha my friend has a coke white one.
They like to act like bullies, but they're really incredibly sweet, good dogs. If you get him as a puppy, he'll grow up with the other animals and you can teach him to be gentle. If you can afford one, I'd definitely get one!
I have worked in animal health for 10 years and love bulldogs, however they are not suitable pets for everyone. The incurred healthcost can be astounding, I find it not uncommon for clients to spend upwards of $7,000 in surgeries and treatment regiments for various congenital conditions including collapsing trachea, skin ailments, braciocephalic disorders, and a variety of other issues that comes from being a man-made breed. Find a good breeder with good vet recommendations. Usually if a bulldog cost less than $1500 there is a reason for it. Have a good vet that isn't to pricey and you should be fine.
They don't live long, compared to other breeds, about 8 years.
They have breathing difficulties, because of the nose.
They don't have good stamina, because of the big body, head and short legs.
They can be very stubborn and lazy. especially when you want to take them for a walk.
They bite and shake everything when they are young - This can be trained out, though.
Not very intelligent.
Damn ugly!
Can be good natured, though.
OK around cats.
I think they are a great pet for a single guy.they snore,snort,fart and have wet mouth issues. My husband had one when he was single...it really was a guy dog. not something i wanted to live with.
Yes depending on the type of pet the owner wants. There may be some issues with bulldogs, just like any breed, that may turn you off so you have to research them. I wanted one but the more I researched the breed I realized that it wasn't for me. Some of the health issues made me really hesitant about getting a bulldog, but for some folks that doesn't matter. You have to decide whether its an issue for you or not.
*They are very stubborn
* They are difficult to housebreak
* They shed a lot
* You have to clean their faces daily to prevent problems with the wrinkles and wet slobber
* They are born with an attitude
* They are also the cutest dog in the world
* Did you ever see an English Bulldog try and run? I don't think they can. They waddle
* They have the weirdest personality I have ever experienced in a dog.
* They are good around other pets IF the other pets mind them and do what they say
I have had several English Bulldogs and we even tried to breed two of them. Both of the litters did not make it. They are very hard dogs to keep healthy and they cannot be outside dogs if you live in warm climits. They really are the sweetest things... but a lot of work.
