Background: This sourpuss is really hiding a sweet soul. Bulldogs snort and snore, but that's just their way of showing contentment. A true couch potato, the Bulldog does not require a lot of exercise due to their face and body type. During the summer, an air-conditioned house is his favorite place to be. Bulldogs love children and are sturdy companions. His slow moving pace is appreciated by the elderly. The Bulldog's coat only needs a quick brushing, but his face must be kept clean.
