Understanding The Bulldog

Article Title: Understanding The Bulldog
Author: Bobby A Callahan

The Bulldog is one of the favored breeds of dog, one reason
being that they do not require a great deal of time spent on
grooming. The Bulldog definitely has one of the most favorable
personalities and temperaments in the canine world, and they
make a great family pet even if younger aged children will be
living in the home. It is going to be well worth it for you to
take some time and find a legitimate and reputable breeder to
purchase a Bulldog from.

There are hundreds of different breeds of dog that you can
choose from but a few in particular that are especially popular.
This includes the Bulldog for one, who is a favorite around the
world but especially so in the United States and England.
Descended from the Asiatic mastiff, the Bulldog was actually
developed in Great Britain and they are considered as being a
non-sporting breed group.

One of the main reasons that the Bulldog is such a favored
breed is that they are so easy to take care of. Unlike many
other breeds, the Bulldog's coat is close, straight, glossy and
smooth, and so there is little shedding and there is also no
feathering or curl. This cuts back significantly on the time it
will take you to groom the dog, which is very advantageous, and
it also means that they look great all year round, with little
effort from you.

The appearance of the Bulldog, as aforementioned, is definitely
respectable, but there are other characteristics of the Bulldog
that are quite favorable as well. They have a fantastic
personality, and they are loyal, affectionate and deeply devoted
to their family. They make wonderful pets even in homes with
younger aged children, and they will get along with other pets
in the home but may react differently to other strange dogs and
animals when you are out and about.

This is due to their embedded guarding abilities, which are
good to have in a dog because they are always alert and on guard
but will only bark when necessary, when they sense a danger or
threat. Training is still important with Bulldogs even though
they have a great personality to begin with, especially since
they have a tendency to be very stubborn and domineering. As the
owner of a Bulldog you need to make sure they are aware of who
is in charge.

The bottom line is that although there are literally hundreds
of different breeds of dog that you can choose from, Bulldogs
are definitely one of the best. They are easily one of the most
laid back and friendly dogs, and make for a great family pet.
Once you have decided that you do in fact want a Bulldog, the
best idea is to take a bit of time and find a reputable breeder
that you can buy from.

This is important because although there are certainly many
legitimate and respected breeders out there, there are also many
that are known as mass breeders who are more in it for the
financial means than because they actually care for the dogs.
Make sure you ask a potential breeder a lot of questions before
agreeing to do business with them, and have them provide you
with the proper paperwork. A good breeder will be pleased that
you are concerned with these sorts of issues and will never make
you feel as though you are overstepping your bounds.
