Everyone knows the Bulldog breed. In fact it has been a favorite among people for at least a hundred years. The British originally used the Bulldog as a fighting dog to help protect their livestock. When bullfighting was popular the Bulldog became a quick favorite because of their strong bite. Their characteristically large head and strong, square build helps to give them their solid and muscular build. Their strong bite comes from their strong and undershot jaw and their strong appearance comes from their short and square muzzle.

However, English Bulldog puppies are really quite gentle towards their owners despite this ferocious look and dominant personality. Although before you decide to add English Bulldog puppies to your household you need to consider a few aspects of the breed. You want to make sure you choose a breed that matches what you are looking for since every dog is different and every person is different.

English Bulldog puppies are very patient and tolerant especially when it comes to children. This is why the Bulldog has become one of the most suitable breeds for children throughout the years. The breed will often play with the children and doesn't complain much so even if the children accidentally hurt them they won't get easily irritated.

Although the opposite is true when it comes to strangers and other dogs, this is when the Bulldog is both tenacious and dominant. If English Bulldog puppies want something they will pursue it persistently and aggressively. This dominant trait is always displayed even if the Bulldog is in the territory or presence of another dog. This means dog fights can happen if you don't maintain full control of English Bulldog puppies.

So if you want a guard dog then the Bulldog is probably right for you. The ferocious look and aggressive attitude of the breed will definitely scare off intruders. However, they don't usually bark or give a warning before attacking so they aren't the best for those who want a dog that will warn them.

There are also disadvantages to the tolerant behavior of English Bulldog puppies. The main disadvantage being that you need to be very perceptive to your dog's feelings otherwise they could become very sick before you even know it. Whether injured, feeling ill, thirty, hungry or simply cold English Bulldog puppies don't easily express themselves to let you know something is wrong. Another disadvantage is the fact that you can have a difficult time restraining your dog unless you properly train them from an early age.

Also be aware that English Bulldog puppies have a high sense of right and wrong so they will sulk for days if they feel they are unjustly punished. Therefore to deal with the headstrong English Bulldog puppies you need to have energy and patience, without these this breed may not be right for you.

So if this doesn't seem right for you then you might want to consider a breed that is more placid and less dominant. However, remember that these are general temperaments, all dogs are different and you might still be able to find the perfect Bulldog for you.
