Many people think English or British Bulldog look rather funny with their squashy faces and waddling gait but in fact they remain one of the more popular breeds of dog and english bulldogs have a devoted following in many countries not least their country of origin Great Britain.

The breed is small in stature but don’t let this deceive you because they can be brave as lions and are just as likely to defend you and your family, if you’re threatened, as is any other breed. This is vital to know because buying a Bulldog is no soft option and these creatures can be very tough, which is where they get their reputation for bravery and it is also the reason why people still associate them with qualities of courage and determination that have always been claimed by the English.

Maybe this is the reason why black is not one of the colors traditionally associated with the breed, because that is exactly the color of the French bull dog, for centuries Britain’s rival and enemy. The dog does not require much attention to stay healthy either though the folds of its face need to be wiped regularly to prevent dirt building up there.

These are just a few things for you to consider about english bulldogs but remember that its color and personality can vary greatly.
