A BULLDOG!
THE BULLDOG IS A MEDIUM SIZE DOG THAT WILL WEIGH AROUND 55 POUNDS.
NOT YOUR TYPICAL LAP DOG, THOUGH THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE. THEY ARE
AFFECTIONATE, LOYAL, AND THRIVE BEST WHEN TREATED AS A MEMBER OF
THE FAMILY.
THE COAT IS SHORT, SMOOTH AND GLOSSY. SHEDDING OCCURS WITH THE
SEASON CHANGE. USE A CHAMOIS CLOTH TO WIPE AWAY EXCESS HAIR EACH
DAY. THE EARS ARE NEVER ALTERED. THE TAIL MAY BE EITHER STRAIGHT OR
SCREWED. SCREW TAILS THAT FIT TIGHTLY TO THE BODY CAN BECOME
INFECTED WHEN NOT CLEANED REGULARLY. THE TAIL IS NEVER DOCKED.
A MEDICATED SHAMPOO THAT IS VET RECOMMENDED,SUCH AS MALASEB,
HELPS PREVENT SKIN AND COAT ISSUES. FACIAL WRINKLES REQUIRE
FREQUENT CLEANING. KEEP THE WRINKLES DRY TO PREVENT IRRITATION AND
INFECTION.
ALWAYS ASK YOUR VETERINARIAN ABOUT THE RIGHT KIBBLE. THE HOLISTIC
DIET IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. BULLDOGS ARE EASILY OVERHEATED AND
SUBJECT TO HEAT EXHAUSTION. AIR CONDITIONING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
THE BULLDOG IS VERY INTELLIGENT AND TENDS TO DO HIS OWN THINKING.
BULLDOGS CAN BE EASILY TRAINED IN OBEDIENCE CLASSES, AND MANY
TRAINED TO COMPETE IN PERFORMANCE CONTESTS. TRAINING SHOULD BEGIN
AT AN EARLY AGE.
THE BULLDOG CLUB OF AMERICA RECOMMENDS THAT YOU SPAY AND NEUTER
YOUR NEW PUPPY. DISCUSS THIS ISSUE WITH YOUR VETERINARIAN.
