Known
as the national symbol of Great Britain. The characteristics
of a perfect Bulldog are; medium size, smooth coat, heavy,
thick-set, low-swung body, massive short-faced head, wide
shoulders and sturdy limbs. An ideal pet as he loves to be
in the company of his family. He adores children and make
an excellent companion to them because of his gentle, sometimes
stubborn nature. He is a laid-back, loyal good natured and
undemanding companion who would make a great companion for
the elderly who do not want to feel guilty for not walking
him or the "couch potato" family. Contrary to popular
belief he does not drool, but he may snore.
