Good With Children?

Bulldogs are good with children. Of course, never leave a young child unsupervised with any dog or puppy.

Good With Other Pets?

Pretty good with pets except when feeding time comes.

Trainability

They are highly intelligent but not always interested in being trained.

Approximate Adult Size

The approximate adult size (two years old or older) of the male bulldog is 12 to 16 inches to the withers (highest point of the shoulder) and 53 to 55 pounds. The female ranges from 12 to 16 inches to the withers and 49 to 51 pounds.

Special Health Considerations

Most dog breeds have certain inherited health problems associated with that specific breed and the Bulldog is no exception. Be on the look out for poor eyesight, breathing difficulties, heat stroke, skin infections, canine hip dysplasia (genetic based looseness in the hip joint that can lead to arthritis pain and lameness), whelping problems, congenital heart disease and skin tumors. She may also require ear and dental care. This disease list is an informative guideline only. Other diseases may also be significant threats, please contact your veterinarian for a complete list.

She should visit the veterinarian several times in the first year for shots, boosters and check up. Then, as an adult, she should visit the veterinarian yearly for shots and check up. As she gets older, six years and on, she should visit the veterinarian twice a year for check ups and shots. Remember; avoid feeding your dog sweets.

Grooming

The Bulldog coat is short, straight, flat and close to the body. She sheds an average amount. She should be brushed weekly to help her maintain a clean and healthy coat, help you keep a closer eye on her health and strengthen your emotional bond with her. Her face and the insides of her wrinkles need to be wiped daily. Bathe only when she really needs it.

Her teeth should be brushed at least twice a week with toothpaste and toothbrush designed for dogs. Brushing removes the accumulation of plaque and tartar which can cause cavities (rarely) and periodontal disease. Dog periodontal disease can lead to pain, loss of teeth, bad breath and other serious disease.

Her toenails may need to be examined for growth and clipped regularly. The toenails of the rear feet grow slower than the toenails of the front feet. Generally a guillotine type trimmer is the best for this chore and competent instructions to accomplish this can be found on the net.

Life Span

The Bulldog can live between 8 and 10 years with proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions.

History

The Bulldog originated in Great Britain from the Asiatic Mastiff. She is currently the symbol of Great Britain. She was first registered by the American Kennel Association in 1934.

The process called dating is a way for two people to participate in activities together with the intent of getting to know each other better. Movies and television tend to portray the leading man with an aura of mystery and the tendency to avoid giving up too much about them in order to cultivate the tough guy image; but the best advice when dating is allowing her to get to know you. Not only will she appreciate your attempt at openness in communication, you will enjoy the conversation more as well.

That is not to say that you need to dump your entire history of disastrous relationships on her either, as this has a tendency to make anyone want to run away, but allowing her to get to know you- the real you. While you might think that a sophisticated air of mystery is appealing to women, she is more than likely thinking that you have something to hide or that you are just plain not interested in her. Giving her these types of signals is a great way of ensuring that she is busy the next time you call.

The main factor in developing and maintaining a good relationship is the early establishment of open and honest communication. Communication can be defined as a two-way process in which there is an exchange of thoughts, feelings or ideas towards a common goal or direction; In this case, an enjoyable date and possibly the beginning or building of a relationship. Notice the “two-way process” which means that the only way you can have real communication between you is allowing her to get to know you.

Society has seen fit to reinforce the image of modern man that has been presented by the mass media with the strong, silent type being most desirable. If you do open up, allowing her to get to know you, this is seen as a sign of weakness and vulnerability and should be avoided at all costs. These ideas couldn't be more wrong, and if you need proof, just look at the divorce rate in this country. The time to get to know someone is before you are married and marriage counselors give lack of communication as one of the primary causes of problems in a relationship.

What does any of this have to do with me? We just started dating. The question is fair enough and the answer is that any relationship that is built on open and honest communication right from the start has the best chance of success. The other side of the coin is that you will both have more fun together, even if you are just casually dating, if you get to know her and by allowing her to get to know you. It is the absolute best way to avoid the “I thought you liked romantic comedies!” or the “you mean you don't really like monster truck rally's?” conversations that could come after dating a few times and each thinking the other really enjoys what you've been doing. Talk about awkward!

Getting to know each other by allowing her to get to know you is the best advice for men and women who are dating. Not only will you both be able to better enjoy your activities together, but should a relationship begin to blossom, you are definitely off to a great start.
