Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: English Bulldog Health Issues, Grooming, History and Living Conditions

Description: The English bulldog is of medium
size, a compact but wide dog with short legs. The
body and head are well built, with extra skin on
both the skull and forehead. Their cheek extends
to the side of the eyes. It has a short but wide
muzzle with a broad and deep stop. The nose is
broad with large nostrils and is black in colour.
This breed has dark eyes that are setback. They
have ears that are small, thin, and set high on
the head. With large jaws, that are also broad
and square with hanging upper lips, this breed
should have an under bite. The tail is screwed,
but can be straight. This is carried low. Their
coat is short smooth, flat and glossy. Others
include red brindle, and other shades of brindle,
solid red, solid white, piebald, pale yellow,
fawn, Fallow or washed out and read the white and
the combination of these colours is acceptable.

History: This breed originated in the British
Isles. This breed descended from the ancient
Asiatic mastiff. The name bull came from a
popular sport, of the time, that used dogs to
fight bulls. This breed was ferocious, courageous
and extremely aggressive, with a muscular body
built with the power to attack a fully grown
bull. This practice was banned in the 19th
century, and we see today, the bulldog with a
different temperament, to the one needed in the
ring to fight the balls. However, it is wise to
remember, this dog still retains a strong
strength of mind.

Temperament: While this dog still looks
intimidating, it is one of the gentlest dogs
available today. It, however, still will see off
any intruder, that would dare to encounter this
dog. This breed is affectionate and gentle with
children. However, it can be very persistent and
determined, when it wishes. Combined with the
gift, not to give up easily. This breed is very
much a people dog and loves getting attention and
affection. With all dogs, leadership needs to
firmly but fairly rest with the owner. And this
will make a good all-round dog that is well
balanced. This breed is good with other family
pets. More full of energy when younger, but this
tapers down as the dog gets older. They snore
loudly, and most have drooling and slobbering
tendencies, and are messy eaters, due to their
small snout. Without good leadership, and the
human being, the Alpha, the bulldog can display
strange, guarding tendencies; this can be to
furniture or their toys or other rooms in the
home.

Health issues: This breed is prone to breathing
problems, poor eyesight, and hip and knee
problems and can be prone to flatulence. They are
also able to have heatstroke in warm weather or
hot rooms, and are very sensitive to cold.
Grooming: The English bulldog does not need much
grooming; but everyday needs to have their face,
wiped with a damp cloth and be cleaned inside the
wrinkles, to prevent sores or infections. Their
coat needs brushing or combing with a firm brush
twice weekly. Bath this dog only when necessary.

Living conditions: This breed is surprisingly an
indoor dog, and is exceptionally good for
apartment life. Providing they have adequate
exercise and their needs around temperature
control are met.
