Summary
The Bulldog, or Bully, is a medium, stocky breed originally from England, known for its calm demeanor, stocky build, and wrinkled face. As part of the Non-Sporting Group, it thrives in an apartment or house with a fenced yard. With a need for 20 to 30 minutes of daily activity, the breed suits a sedentary, urban-living, indoors owner, single or family-oriented (with children), who enjoys moderate outdoor activities. Bulldogs have a life expectancy of 8 to 10 years and are prone to Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome, Canine Obesity, and Skin Fold Dermatitis.
