Bulldog

Dog breed profile

The Bulldog has a rich history rooted in England, where it was originally bred for bull-baiting. Today, it is cherished as a loving and calm companion. Bulldogs have a distinctive appearance with a muscular build and characteristic wrinkles. Their temperament is generally gentle and affectionate, especially with children, though they can be somewhat stubborn. Care involves managing their unique health needs, particularly related to breathing and skin folds. Bulldogs require moderate exercise and minimal grooming, making them well-suited for apartment living and first-time dog owners who can provide attentive care and a stable environment.
