​We love sharing information – sometimes it’s small tidbits and other times its big juicy chunks of info, and every now and again it might be something as simple as a meme to make your smile. We hope you enjoy our blog – which is mostly dog focused but can occasionally be distracted.​

What do you know about the British?

The British Bulldog is a wide, solid dog with a massive head. Also known as the English Bulldog they originated in the British Isles and descended from the ancient Asiatic Mastiff. Their original purpose was to attack full grown bulls in an arena but this practice was banned by law in the 19th century. This was how their name came about and also due to the fact their robust look is similar to that of a little bull. Today though, bulldog’s have a completely different temperament from those of their ancestors.
They are among one of the gentlest breed of dogs. They are extremely affectionate and great with children though are very courageous and excellent guard dogs – their appearance alone generally does the trick! They are very much a people dog and require a lot of human attention to stay happy. They are very determined and persistent so training is a must from a young age. They are highly energetic as pups but do slow down with age. If they begin to show any signs of protective behaviour, either over toys or food this must be addressed straight away. This is the Bulldog showing they are the boss and you must show your place as the pack leader from the beginning.
Due to their facial structure they are prone to breathing problems with some dogs having small windpipes as well. They are very susceptible to heat stroke in warmer weather and poor eyesight. They can have quite sensitive skin and stomachs also and are known to have hip and knee problems. With the correct care, food and a good understanding of their breed, Bulldogs can live a happy and comfortable life. The Bulldog’s primal instinct is to migrate so a daily walk is a must, you will find yourself with some serious behavior problems if this need isn’t met. Again, with all dogs, make sure they are taught to walk behind you, reminding them that you are the pack leader. Their shorted haired, smooth cost is very easy to groom, only needing to bathe when necessary. Their wrinkles around their face will need daily cleaning.
They a great member for an apartment lifestyle and are quite inactive indoors. They do have issues with cooling themselves down in the heat and staying warm in the cooler weather so living indoor is ideal, they can also live happily without a yard.
