A lot of animal lovers have strong opinions about breeds and which ones are the most likely to make good pets. The English bulldog will probably not be among the first animals that come to mind. Beyond instant recognition of the dog, many do not know much about the breed. Those who have owned one, or are currently living with one, will tell anyone considering English bulldogs for sale in Missouri to give them a try.

These dogs are instantly recognizable because of their strange squat bodies, huge heads, meaty jowls, and tiny legs that don't seem sturdy enough to hold them up. It may be difficult to imagine, but the breed was prized at one time for its ability to bring down a full grown bull. Today their owners love them for the calm and pleasant demeanor they display. The puppies can be very playful and active, but they settle down as they grow up.

Before you purchase any breed of dog unfamiliar to you, you should do some research. You need to find out what kind of temperament the animals have and what things can trigger unacceptable behavior. These bulldogs, for instance, take their food very seriously. They don't like anyone getting in their way when they decide to eat or try to tease them when they are hungry.

These dogs are not athletes or active, energetic animals. If you do not insist, they are usually perfectly content to spend day after day napping and eating. They do need regular exercise however. Without it, they tend to pack on the pounds, which can lead to problems. Because they are fairly sedentary animals, they can live very well in small condos or apartments. Bulldogs can be a good fit for older people who have trouble getting around.

Training these dogs can be an issue because they really don't have any interest in it. Without plenty of doggy treats and loving physical contact you will have trouble getting them to learn even the basics. They will definitely not respond to harsh treatment or loud commands.

These animals do have some health issues that owners need to be aware of. They have very large heads in contrast to their small bodies, and most will not live more than twelve years. If you plan to breed your pet, you should expect the puppies to be brought into the world via cesarean section. The dogs are prone to deafness, hip dysplasia, eye problems, cancer, and cleft palate. Regular vet visits will help catch potential problems.

The bulldogs don't require excessive grooming, but the folds in their faces, and their ears, should be swabbed and cleaned regularly to keep bacteria from forming. These dogs are known to have breath issues, so keeping their teeth and mouths clean is important.

Dogs are great companions that usually become beloved members of the family. Before you accept the responsibility for a pet however, you should make sure the breed is a good fit for you and your household.
