BulldogGiving the impression of determination, strength and activity the British Bulldog is indeed an imposing sight

Developed for the so-called "sport" of bull-baiting, he is a powerful, superbly muscled "fighting machine" of a dog with tremendous weight for his height, enormous chest and shoulders and massive head.

Although he looks fierce he is in fact gentle and affectionate, with an equable, kindly temperament. Despite his dignified demeanour and good-natured patience and tractability, he nevertheless retains his legendary courage, making him a splendid watchdog.

An obstinate streak has been inherited from his bull-baiting ancestors, but patient training will result in a willing response.

Loyal and dependable, the British Bulldog makes an excellent children's companion and household pet. This breed is very sensitive to heat and needs careful management in warmer climates.

Those who become addicted to this breed will never again settle for anything else!
