yes that is true, unfortunatley like brainless said, too many people over the years have breed bullys for the wrong reasons which obviously has concequenses. when my last pups wnt for their health checks the vet was so happy with the height, jaw etc. have a look at my website, my stud dog is tall and long, not small and fat.

Re: british bulldogs

I remember about 4 years ago someone came along to one of our puppy classes with something they called a victorian bulldog. They said the breeder was trying to get the look of the original bulldog, it was taller, sleeker and with a longer muzzle. She stopped coming when the dog was aout 9 months so I never saw it as an adult dog.

yeah, there are victorian bd, olde tyme bd, and i think some new breeds too. people think bullys should be fat and unhealthy, thats myth, thats the way a poser wants a bulldog as a fashion accessory. believe me, i have knocked plenty of people back because i feel they are not suitable for my dogs.

You do right, there are some stange people around, I once had another pup come in to the class, only 15 weeks old, the owner carried it in, I asked why, he said it can't walk. That was a slight exageration it could walk but only just, it was the fatest dog I have ever seen (and I've seen some fat dogs, especially labs), unfortunately he said the breeder said it was supposed to look like that, What an idiot.

yeah it is sad. lots of bullgog breeders will say that, the reputable ones wont. i knew someone that had a bulldog that was that heavy it died of heart attack, 5 years old, i think personally that they should have been charged with cruelty to animals but probably didnt.

Victorian Bulldogs and Olde Tyme Bulldogs are two different breeds/types

Unhappy Re: british bulldogs

Hi there,
I am really interested in getting a second dog (I currently have a Staffie who is 8 months) I would like to get a dog with lower energy and one of the breeds we are looking at is the Bulldog.

I am learning as a result of posts on the forum that i will need to separate them when we are not there which I am coming round to - we have 2 sitting rooms so I am thinking one each!

I want to get a Bitch (i plan to keep the male Staffie entire and show him / stud him) so would consider spaying the Bitch.

I wondered if there is any advice you would give me about these 2 breeds getting on, age to introduce etc. I am also concerned about the health issues you hear about and lifespan ..

I feel in such a dilemma whether to stick with one or extend the family!!

Re: british bulldogs

I wouldn't take everything you read as gospel regarding health issues, or their 'supposed' low energy, mostly these dogs are turned into couch potatoes because their owners allow them to be!.
You get a well bred Bulldog and they can keep up with any other dog and can be boisterous!
If you keep opposite sex's there shouldn't be a problem as to regards them getting along.
