The Bulldog is a breed known by everyone. In fact for at least a hundred years the breed has been a favorite among people. Originally the British used the Bulldog as a fighting dog to help protect their livestock. The breed became a favorite when bullfighting was popular because of their strong bite. The breed’s solid and muscular appearance comes from their characteristically large head and strong, square build. They have a strong and undershot jaw that helps them to get their strong bite and a short and square muzzle which gives them their strong appearance.

However, English Bulldog puppies are really quite gentle towards their owners despite this ferocious look and dominant personality. Although before you decide to add English Bulldog puppies to your household you need to consider a few aspects of the breed. You want to make sure you choose a breed that matches what you are looking for since every dog is different and every person is different.

English Bulldog puppies have a very patient and tolerant attitude, which makes them excellent with children. In fact the Bulldog has become one of the best breeds for people with children over the years. Often the breed will play with children and does not get easily irritated or complain should the child accidentally hurt them.

The Bulldog is very tenacious and dominant however when it comes to strangers and other dogs. Therefore English Bulldog puppies will pursue something persistently and aggressively if they want to. Even if the Bulldog is in the presence or territory of another dog they will still display this dominant trait. As a result dogfights can happen if you aren’t careful to maintain full control of English Bulldog puppies.

So if you want a guard dog then the Bulldog is probably right for you. The ferocious look and aggressive attitude of the breed will definitely scare off intruders. However, they don’t usually bark or give a warning before attacking so they aren’t the best for those who want a dog that will warn them.

There are also disadvantages to the tolerant behavior of English Bulldog puppies. The main disadvantage being that you need to be very perceptive to your dog’s feelings otherwise they could become very sick before you even know it. Whether injured, feeling ill, thirty, hungry or simply cold English Bulldog puppies don’t easily express themselves to let you know something is wrong. Another disadvantage is the fact that you can have a difficult time restraining your dog unless you properly train them from an early age.

Also be aware that English Bulldog puppies have a high sense of right and wrong so they will sulk for days if they feel they are unjustly punished. Therefore to deal with the headstrong English Bulldog puppies you need to have energy and patience, without these this breed may not be right for you.

Instead you may want to consider a more placid and less dominant dog. Just remember that these are general temperaments and all dogs are different so you might still find the perfect Bulldog for you
