Lovely Bulldogs: What's to Love and What's to Hate

Many people own bulldog dog breeds. They are cute, courageous, and loving dogs, even if they look like they are down-in-the-dumps all the time. It is just their facial expression that does this to them. Bulldogs pups are often frisky and full of energy, while adult bulldogs will sleep their day away. With this being said, you should still make sure your adult and young bulldog gets up and exercises to prevent any health issues.

Interactions with Strangers

Depending on how you have raised your great bulldog, they may be friendly with strangers, reserved, or bark at them. This varies depending on the specific dog and what they are taught. Some people like to teach their bulldogs to bark when someone comes up to the house. Others may teach their dog to sit or lick when someone comes to the door or passes by them on the street.
