Bulldog Information

One of the most distinctive breeds in appearance, the Bulldog has changed dramatically over the years. Originally bred for bull- and bear-baiting, their origins have defined much of their appearance. Their strong jaws and short muzzle were perfect for hanging tenaciously onto a bull, and their front-heavy weight distribution and short back made it difficult for the bull to shake them. Although today's Bulldog retains many of those physical characteristics, the personality of the modern Bulldog is completely different. They are loving, gentle dogs who live for human attention but demand very little. Their docile, tolerant, and attentive nature makes them excellent with children, although older Bulldog puppies can be a little too playfully strong and clumsy for toddlers. As adults, they're more careful and passive about play, but they never completely grow up.

It is a widely-held misconception that Bulldogs are not very intelligent. In general, they are actually highly intelligent dogs who want to play, cuddle, or have their tummies rubbed, rather than learn some obedience trick. However, if you can keep it fun, and willing to spend time they can learn very well. Their true intelligence, though, is more subtle. They are masters at figuring things out... most especially figuring out how to get their way. In fact, they often think 'no' means 'wait until I'm not looking' they are great at making you think they can't reach the table, or the bed... until you're not looking and if all else fails, they're masters of the guilt trip. They seem to know that the sad, pouty face and the carefully-placed sigh can get them most anything. They truly have a human-like quality, and their feelings are easily hurt. But they're quick to forgive, especially with a treat and a hug!

The Bulldog is not a demanding breed by nature, but they do require a family to have a strong knowledge of the breed and its healthcare. If you're not willing to commit to their proper care physically and emotionally, then a Bulldog isn't for you. The breed is essentially man-made, and they have been bred for specific physical traits. Unlike most breeds, where nature has shaped their physical characteristics to fit their function and their environment, Bulldogs aren't built for thriving in any natural environment. So before welcoming a Bulldog into your home, the first step is to become knowledgeable about the breed, and the second step is to find a vet that is experienced with Bulldogs. Bulldogs simply rely on you to keep them healthy, and to care of them in general. One critical note: Anesthetizing any dog has its risks, but with Bulldogs, it is more serious. Because of their unusual airways, the muscle relaxation that comes with anesthesia can easily cause their airway to collapse. Sadly, many Bullies have been lost in simple, non-emergency procedures that involved anesthesia. That is but one reason for finding a vet that is very experienced with the breed. It is also a reason that breeding is undertaken by only the most knowledgeable, experienced, and committed families... over 90 percent of litters are born via Caesarean section, and care of the newborn puppies is extremely difficult.

Overall, the Bulldog can be a wonderful addition to your family, if you are willing to commit the time to learn about the breed and provide the proper health care. Equally importantly, they need your time, companionship, and love. In return, you will get unconditional affection (except for the occasional pouting) and a delightful, often comical friend.

We strive to breed healthy Bulldogs; all of our Bulldogs are routinely health examined by our veterinarian and prior to breeding.  As with any living creature and ANY breed there is a possibility of health or breed related issues. Bulldogs are not cheap; it is very expensive and requires a knowledgeable dedication of the breed to raise a healthy litter of Bulldog puppies (24/7).  Please do your research to make sure the Bulldog breed is the right breed for you before purchasing a Bulldog, doing so will be more rewarding for you and especially your new family member, your Bulldog!

Health Information

Bulldogs belong to a group of dogs known as "Brachycephalic" breeds or "short-nosed" breeds.  Since dogs do not sweat to cool themselves as people do, they rely on panting to help disperse excess heat.  The short nosed breeds cooling mechanism and air transfer is much less than other breeds making them very prone to overheating, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.   

Stenotic nares - pinched nostrils

Elongated soft palate - excess tissue in the back of the throat

 Hypoplastic trachea - small windpipe

Cherry Eye - A prolapse of the gland of the third eyelid, results in a pink to red mass in the inner corner of the eye.

Entropion/ Ectropion- rolling in/ rolling out of the upper or lower eyelids.

Dystichia- hairs that grow out from along the eyelid margins of the eye.

Hip Dysplasia- What would be considered "awful" hips on almost any other breed will be acceptable on a Bulldog. The Bulldog standard calls for the gait to be a "loose-jointed shuffling sidewise motion”.

Facial Fold Dermatitis - some Bulldogs have heavy wrinkling, it is very important that Bulldog owners keep the face wrinkles clean and dry. Many people have success with baby wipes, corn starch powder, neo-predef powder, Desitin (diaper rash ointment) or if a yeast infection exist, Malaseb Pledgets.  

Demodex mange - There are 2 forms of the skin disease localized and generalized. Dogs with generalized demodex should not be bred.  Another good reason to spay females with generalized demodex mange is that during heat cycles, the condition worsens.

Gastric dilatation-volvulus, ( GDV ) or Bloat - a very serious condition that occurs in dogs when the stomach becomes distended with air, and then twists on itself.

Pyometra - All unspayed female dogs are prone to pyometra, but the bulldog is particularly prone. Pyometra follows a heat cycle typically within 2 to 4 months. It is beneficial for health reasons, pet females be spayed before first heat cycle.
