Bulldogs are medium-sized dogs. They typically weigh between 40 to 50 pounds and stand about 14 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder. Their stocky build and low center of gravity give them a distinctive appearance.

Bulldogs are known for their calm, gentle, and affectionate nature. They are typically friendly and good with children, making them excellent family pets. Bulldogs can be stubborn at times, so early training and socialization are important. Despite their tough appearance, they have a loving disposition and can be quite playful.

Bulldogs have a short, smooth coat that is easy to care for. They come in various colors, including brindle, white, fawn, and combinations of these colors. The coat requires simple maintenance, usually involving occasional brushing to remove loose hair.

Bulldogs adapt well to various living situations, including apartments and homes with yards. They do not require excessive exercise but benefit from regular walks and playtime to maintain a healthy weight. Bulldogs can struggle with heat and humidity due to their brachycephalic (short-nosed) structure, so care should be taken to avoid overexertion in hot weather.

Bulldogs enjoy moderate physical activities, such as short walks, light play, and some indoor games. They can participate in basic obedience training and some dog sports, although they may not excel in high-energy activities due to their build. Mental stimulation through training exercises and interactive toys is also beneficial for their overall well-being.
