English (British) Bulldog (KUSA)

English Bulldogs in Nigeria

The English Bulldog is one of the most popular breeds in Nigeria. Having originated from England, it has found its way into many Nigerian homes because of its adorable features that make it ideal as a pet for both adults and children.

It can be said that English Bulldogs are like teddy bears-cute looking, cuddly and perfect to snuggle with. They are known to drool excessively but it’s not so much as to pose a health risk or messy enough to upset people.

With their childlike character, they are regarded as the snackers of the canine world, ready to eat virtually anything within their reach without hesitation. English Bulldogs require little exercise making them ideal pets for those living in small. They love long walks though and one must keep them on a leash to protect them from road accidents. English Bulldogs are notorious for their loud snoring and wheezing, which endears many but it might not be an ideal situation for those living in flats or rooms without much space.

Behaviour

As English Bulldogs sleep up to eighteen hours a day, they make the best lapdogs-ideal napping partners. English bulldog puppies are especially cute with large heads and short muzzles that give them an innocent look, which makes them even more lovable than adult English Bulldogs. English bulldog breeders in Nigeria will deliver English Bulldog puppies at your doorsteps after proper screening, so this is really helpful if you’re too busy to go searching for English puppy breeders. English Bulldogs are also known to be gentle and patient companions.

English bulldogs do well with other dogs even those that may be larger than them as long as good manners towards their own kind are observed. English bulldog puppies tend to be a bit timid and sensitive, but they respond well to positive training methods.

Grooming, Temperament & Health Issues

English Bulldogs usually have short coats which means that grooming them is relatively minimal as it barely needs much attention at all . The English Bulldog has a very docile temperament and an under-developed power of reasoning, making it easy for training because English Bulldogs tend to naturally follow their owners without any resistance or resentment.

English Bulldogs require a lot of companionship from people who would play with them often because this is what brings out their best traits as a breed. English bulldogs also need mental stimulation in the form of regular walks, games and training so that they don’t resort to negative behaviour like chewing or digging.

English bulldogs are generally healthy but they may fall prey to certain health issues like hip dysplasia , breathing difficulties, cherry eye , eye infections and skin allergies.
