We recommend crate training for housebreaking. A Bulldog can over heat  very easily so never leave your English Bulldog out for long periods of time in the hot weather. 10 minutes is plenty in the heat of the day. Over heating can kill a Bulldog. Most Bulldogs cannot get out of a swimming pool if they fall in. If you have a pool please keep the dog away if you are not there. Most English Bulldogs cannot swim .Buy a life jacket made for an English Bulldog if they are going to be near water. The veterinarian you choose is very important only choose a vet recommended for  English Bulldogs .English Bulldogs are sensitive to anesthesia and have conditions exclusive only to the English Bulldog breed. Please keep your English Bulldog puppy on the food we recommended when you got the puppy from us. We have used many foods over the years and we use what we feel is the best for our English Bulldogs. Give your   English Bulldogs indestructible toys only. Never give rawhide or plastic or any toys an English Bulldog can chew up. Bulldogs have very powerful jaws can chew off pieces and get choked or get a blockage from swallowing pieces. Never feed "Greenies" to a  Bulldog. Some dogs have died from swallowing them and they swell in the stomach.

English Bulldogs(Character) 

People often ask us what the proper temperament is like with an English Bulldog. The only way I can really describe it is "a big baby". If you are a low key person, and want a companion that is always with you, don't mind a little snoring, and an occasional burst of energy. An English Bulldog is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever own. And to caution you, Bulldogs are addictive no one can own just one!  English Bulldogs require a lot of attention and if you are not prepared to give it don't buy a Bulldog! If you expect a dog to be left alone the majority of the time please reconsider your decision to own a dog. If you work all day and cannot have someone come in to let your English Bulldog out and give them some attention consider Doggie Daycare as an alternative. You cannot properly housebreak or train an English Bulldog without consistency and investing some time.   Bulldogs will get very hyperactive and destructive as will any dog if left alone without proper attention and training. An English Bulldog is wonderful with children.

English Bulldog (History)

In the early history of the dogs of England, it was said that the ancient British took large, ferocious, and formidable dogs with them into battle. Early writings have indicated that the Gauls purchased Bulldogs for use in war and used them, along with their native dogs, to combat the enemy during battle. Many historians believe that both the English Mastiff and modern Bulldogs are descendents of these war dogs of ancient times. However there are differing opinions on the origin of  Bulldogs. While some believe the breed  may derive its name from the bull- like shape of its head, others maintain it came from the ancient English custom of using Bulldogs in the sport of Bull-baiting. There appears to be little doubt, however that an early canine species resembling the Bulldog has been in existence for centuries.
There are some who consider the Bulldog as a parent dog, while others contend the Bulldog resulted from a mixture of the large Mastiff and the Pug dog. Some early references indicate that the oldest English spelling of the name was probably "Bondogge" or "Boldogge" later the name "Bandogge" was mentioned by William Shakespeare.

Bull-baiting was extremely popular during the middle ages. At the original Bull-baiting in Tutbury, Staffordshire, the Bull wore a collar and was fastened to a thick rope, three to five yards long. The rope was fastened to a stake in such a manner that the Bull could freely circle the stake to watch his enemy the Bulldog. The Bulldog had a short nose so his teeth could better take hold of a bull .The popularity of the sport created demand for qualified dogs. From the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries bull baiting was a national sport in England. The many stories of the way English Bulldogs were treated are horrible and sad. As well as bull-baiting, Bulldogs were also used for bear baiting, badger-baiting and ratting. There were also contests between an English Bulldog and lions. Some  English Bulldogs were also matched against Monkeys. English Bulldogs approached near extinction until laws were passed that outlawed most of the hideous uses for Bulldogs. The  English Bulldog today are totally different in stature and temperament of the dogs of Bull-baiting times.
