There's no dog breed with a more distinctive mug than the English Bulldog. This is a dog breed like no other - combining a solid, muscular frame with an adorably wrinkled face and somewhat compressed snout. To gaze upon the English Bulldog, one would expect him to be tough as nails, but in reality, this dog breed is a real "pussycat", at least where humans and other pets are concerned. These comical and endearing dogs are highly affectionate companions that love children and require little exercise or grooming, making them an excellent choice for families, singles, the elderly and even disabled dog lovers.

English Bulldogs need very little in the way of exercise. A short daily walk will suffice where this meaty fellow is concerned. English Bulldogs are not able to tolerate heat and humidity, so special considerations need to be made if you live in a hot climate or in summer months. Usually it's best to take your Bulldog out for a walk in the very early morning or very late evening on hot days to avoid heat exhaustion.

English Bulldogs are not runners, nor can them swim, so if you are a triathlete looking for a canine companion to keep you company, this is probably not the breed for you. However, if you are more couch potato than athlete, the English Bulldog will enjoy lying beside you on the couch as you watch the latest reality TV shows.

Jumping is also a no-no for English Bulldogs, since doing so can injure their knees, which can be prone to luxating patella. If your couch or bed is too high for your "big guy" it's a good idea to invest in a couple sets of doggie steps to help ease your Bulldog's ability to get up and down from his favorite sleeping spots.

Little coat care is required, but he should be given special attention by keeping the folds of his skin clean, especially around the face. They should be cleaned daily to avoid your Bulldog developing a condition called skin fold dermatitis.
