Deciding to bring a dog into the family is a very big decision. The animal will feel like part of the family in a very short time. Like every member of the family, everyone will have to live with the animals good and bad characteristics.

For this reason, it is important to carefully research the breeds of dogs you might consider. During your research, consider English Bulldogs. Bulldogs are known for their stocky stature, with very large heads and shoulders. Bulldogs are also known for their trademark underbite.

Because these characteristics make English Bulldogs appear rather ferocious, bulldogs are often chosen as mascots for sports teams. Fans of University of Georgia at Atlanta, for example, love ‘Uga’. Actually, they have loved several Ugas throughout the years, as bulldogs tend to have short lifespans.

Even though the English Bulldogs look ferocious, bulldogs actually have a quite docile demeanor. English Bulldogs tend to be great with children, if proper training began as bulldog puppies. Bulldogs, especially ...

Not only do bulldog puppies need to be cared for and trained in the same manner as all other puppies, bulldog puppies require extra attention. Bulldog puppies are absolutely adorable, with rolls covering their bodies. These rolls, however, need to be cleaned every day in bulldog puppies.

Children with bulldog puppies quickly learn that good things can require lots of time and energy. English Bulldogs are sometimes thought to require less energy than other dogs. This idea is a misconception. While most English Bulldogs don’t require long walks, some definitely do, and all dogs require walks for exercise.

In addition to needing exercise like every other dog, English Bulldogs are also experts at getting their families’ attention. If the family is not spending the time to play and give affection, like all dogs need, bulldogs will do what is necessary to bring that attention to themselves. Unfortunately, this sometimes involves chewing or other mischievous behavior.

Regardless of the breed of dog your family chooses, pet ownership brings many rewards and responsibilities. These rewards and responsibilities last for the life of the pet, without ceasing. Before you bring a pet home, make sure that your entire family is committed to its love and care.

The selection of a dog may be one of the bigger choices that a whole family makes together. Even children can have input as to what breed, or maybe even which specific animal. By investing the whole family in the decision and learning the pros and cons of each breed, you are most likely to bring home a dog that fits in well with your family for years to come.
