Bulldogs are good-natured animals, with their heads a bit large and their assizes flattened. In ancient times they used it to make the cattle run, to take them later to the slaughterhouse and in this way they were more relaxed at the time of slaughtering them.

The color of their hair is generally light gray and the part of the belly is white, their front legs are short and robust and the hips are a bit narrow, so females almost always have to be cesarean, so they can have a baby. Safe delivery.

It should be noted that they have a powerful bite of more or less than 300 pounds of pressure and their teeth are very strong, which is why in ancient times and in some clandestine places they are trained to fight and make illegal bets. Their body is very strong and they have a lot of muscles. But they have a weakness in the hips, in old age they suffer a lot from hip dysplasia. Therefore, it is highly advisable to feed them with a sufficient amount of calcium.

Bulldogs are sensitive to cold, so if you have one and you’re in the winter, don’t leave it  out at night, as it can get sick. Or if you are going to leave him outside, build a well-sealed kennel for him, where he can protect himself from the cold at night that reaches very low temperatures.
