Is A Bulldog A Healthy Breed?

Bulldogs are about as healthy as any other

short nosed breed. It really goes back to your

initial investment. Make sure to use a reliable

breeder with a proven record of healthy

bulldogs and one who will offer you a

written breeder’s contract.

 

 

In general Bulldogs are healthy and many only go to the vet for their checkups and shots. Any breed may have some minor problems and the Bulldog is no exception to that. Bulldogs do have special needs which must be met. They don't do well in the heat and they are not the breed to go for a 10 mile morning run with you. They must not be unduly over exerted, although they can have very active lifestyles, including                                                                                                       swimming and surfing (street & water). Just like us, they                                                                                               should not be encouraged to be a couch potato,

                                                                                    and do need daily exercise for better health.  Overweight                                                                                             bulldogs are not healthy bulldogs. They also have so special                                                                                       breeding & whelping needs. It's always best to choose a                                                                                                dog that fits your lifestyle. There are many completely                                                                                                   healthy bulldogs around the world today.

                                                                                    The average life of the breed is about 10. Of course

                                                                                    this can be longer with the proper diet, exercise

                                                                                    and routine vet care.
