Choosing a Bulldog
The Bulldog has a sweet and gentle nature, but is still a very powerful dog. They are also a very devoted companion. They do enjoy taking slow walks with their owners because of the low energy level they have. That is what would make them a great dog for apartment living.
But the Bulldog does have a reputation as a bit of a chow hound and can make quite a difference in your grocery bill.
These dogs can overheat easily so it important to keep them out of the sun. And because they are chow hounds obesity can lead to serious problems. This breed also has breathing problems, allergies, hip dysplasia, and eye problems.
With the Bulldogs small trachea you should never use a choke chain on him a harness will work much better, and remember to clean the wrinkles on his face because they can develop skin infections.
So if a loving pet is what you want than this guy is for you if you can overlook his few bad habits.
