Choosing The Right Purebred Bulldogs For Sale

By Janet Perry


The Bulldog is, out of doubt, one of the most common purebred dogs. The breed is popular among families and celebrities. The rather broad shouldered and stocky bulldog with its pugnacious gait and under bite characteristic has long been a symbol of military units and sports teams. However, before thinking about Purebred Bulldogs for sale, it is important that you understand how to care for them the right way.

Determine the amount of space you have. Do you live in an apartment? If so, you might want to rule out many large dog breeds. You may even want to look for dogs in the Toy group such as the Pug, Miniature Pinscher or some of the other small dogs in the Non-Sporting group, like the Bichon Frise. Pure bred bull dogs require a considerable amount of space.

An English bull dog puppy makes a great companion. A prominent characteristic of this breed is that they are attention seekers and get along well in a home with children and other pets. If they are given proper attention and care, you are ensured of a very loyal and loving pet in return.

The family also matters a lot. If you have small children or plan to start a family in the near future, you'll need to consider this when choosing a dog. Certain breeds are particularly well suited to families, while others do very well with a single adult owner, including Huskies and German Shepherds.

It must be remembered that purebred bull dogs become less interested in exercise as they age. While these dogs are short and stocky they should be put through regular exercise on to prevent obesity. As they are exhausted by exercise they should be given water often. Another peculiarity of this breed is that it has so many folds. Therefore, cleanliness is really important as part of their care routine. If not cleaned well it can cause bacterial or fungal infections.

However, puppies are also a lot of work. They require vast amounts of attention, no matter what breed you opt for, and they will require strict training if you want to have an adult dog that is fun to be around. Left to their own devices, puppies will pick up a string of unpleasant habits that are difficult to break. Without training, that cute puppy will likely be very difficult as an older animal. If you have the patience and time to train and hang out with a pup, then this could be a good option for you.

When buying, it is important to know where a dog comes from. A family breeder would be able to introduce you to the sire or the dam as well as the other puppies. Seeing the health, temperament and intelligence of the parents is important to many pet owners. The physical appearance of a dog is also imperative, and viewing the lineage may give you an idea of how your dog will look someday.

However, there is a downside to adopting an older dog, however. You may find that you have to retrain some bad habits that have been ingrained for years. Also, if the dog has been abused, even the kindest breed could turn out to be snappish and nervous. An adult animal will tend to be cheaper than a puppy, even if purebred, which is another consideration if you are on a budget.
