English Bulldogs - Pictures

English Bulldogs - Pictures - Description

The head is big and wide. The ears are set widely apart, emphasizing a very broad and strong forehead. They are not big and rose-like. The eyes set well apart, and are round and dark. They should not sink too deep or protrude. The jaws form a characteristic 'reversed scissors bite', which provides for the firmness of the grip.

The front view reveals a skull in a characteristic square form. Old breeders developed this feature, and it made the dog less vulnerable in bull-baiting contests. Thick skin also provided considerable protection from heavy blows.

English Bulldogs - Pictures - Temperament and Care

English Bulldogs are very convivial, and they become destructive if left alone. They have a way of chewing, and it is necessary to have a special chew-toy in the house. Otherwise, you will lose the grand look of your not-too-cheap furniture.

These dogs are intolerant of heat and drastic temperature fluctuations. Actually, they are sensitive to any sort of change in the environment. English Bulldogs do better in regions with moderately cool climates. Respiratory diseases can pose serious problems for Bulldogs because of their respiratory organs' specific structure.

It is necessary to wipe your dog's muzzle and neck regularly, because these areas are more susceptible to infection. Bulldogs often suffer from dermatitis and demodetic mange. These dogs are prone to genetic disorders, such as hip dysplasia, small trachea, deviations in the structure of eyelids, cleft palate, elongated palate and Hare lip. English Bulldogs with hereditary diseases must not participate in breeding projects.
