Q7: What about grooming, wrinkles, cosmetic surgery, etc.?
Daily brushing will keep a Bulldog's coat looking good and reduce any shedding (Bulldogs shed only a
little in most cases). The wrinkles and tail pocket must be kept clean and dry. (Read our link on Bulldog
health and ownership information for more on that.) Ideally, Bulldogs go through their life with no
cosmetic alterations. Dew claws are not removed, ears are not cosmetically changed or cropped, nor
are tails docked.
Sometimes, a tightly-kinked tail will have recurrent bouts of bacteria and infection due to chronic
moisture trouble, and an amputation may be advised. (Bulldogs that have had cosmetic alterations are
ineligible for showing.) Always feed a complete balanced premium dog food as well.

Q8: Should I get a male or female?
This is purely a personal preference. Each has a fan club to sing the praises of that gender's affection,
intelligence and trainability.

Q9: Is a Bulldog a good family pet?
Absolutely! The Bulldog is gentle, loving, and sociable. (However, a Bulldog's bulk, combined with
joyful enthusiasm, would cause a family to be watchful that the Bulldog doesn't knock over their small
children.) Once you've had a Bulldog, your home will not be complete without one!

Q10: Can you find Bulldogs in most Countries?
Yes. Bulldogs can be found in nearly every area of the world.

Q11: Will my Bulldog need a special vet?
Certain things must be approached differently with a Bulldog than with other breeds. Some vets
prefer not to deal with the special needs or may not understand the special needs this breed has. It is
recommended that you seek and use a veterinarian with Bulldog experience whenever possible.

Q12: What is the difference between a Bulldog and an English Bulldog?
In the UK, our breed is registered with the Kennel Club as simply "Bulldog". Though "Bulldog" is the
correct name for our breed, you will find some breeders and other individuals who refer to them as
English Bulldogs to help newcomers identify our breed more quickly as opposed to Bull Terriers etc.

Q13: Why don’t we Crossbreed our Bulldogs?
We DO NOT support or encourage the breeding of unrecognised Bulldog colours, as these are classed
as cross-breeds, and not of true type. True type includes; White, Piebald, Fawn, Brindle & White,
Fawn & White, Red, Red Brindle, Red & White ONLY.

Due to being a cross-breed, we if we were to breed could and would not guarantee the health of the
Bulldog puppies. Genetically they are not true so inevitable some health issues may arise which would
be at the detriment to the breed.
