Versorging
Temperament
Kind, steady and affectionate, with a stubborn streak. Usually friendly with people and tolerant of children, preferring calm company to high-energy games.
Oefening
Short, gentle walks and light play are enough; keep activity to the cooler parts of the day and never push it in heat.
Versorging
Brush weekly and clean and dry the facial folds and tail pocket regularly to prevent skin infections.
Opleiding
Can be stubborn, so use patient, food-motivated training with short sessions.
Gesondheid
Breathing problems linked to the short face (BOAS) are the main concern, along with skin-fold infections, eye conditions, joint problems and heat sensitivity. Ask the breeder for the parents' breathing (BOAS) grades and other results.

Oor die ras
The Bulldog descends from dogs used in medieval England for bull-baiting, a cruel sport banned in 1835. After the ban, breeders gradually reshaped the dog into a calmer, more sociable companion, and it became a well-known national symbol in Britain.
Today's Bulldog is a home-loving, affectionate dog that enjoys short outings and long naps. It is usually good-natured with children and visitors. Owners need to watch its breathing, weight and temperature closely, and should choose breeders who select for more open nostrils and better breathing.
Het jy geweet?
Most Bulldog puppies are born by caesarean section because of the large head size of the breed.
