Latest Bulldog Frequently Asked Questions:
Ok i love american bulldogs but they might be too big for me and i like english bulldogs but they are too small. Is there any type of bulldog that is in between those 2 sizes?
Answer:These are pretty rare, they are Olde English Bulldogges. I think they are absolutely adorable. But they require an experience owner. I have seen a few come through animal shelters. http://dogbreedinfo.com/oldeenglishbulldogge.htm I actually want to adopt this one, but I just don't have the room for 2 dogs right now. http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=9554440 And I know you know this, but you can also consider adopting an American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, or a Boxer.
how big do american bulldogs grow too will they grow as big if they r a cross with an english bulldog?
Answer:I have an American Bulldog who is 14 months old and he is 115 pounds. I have heard of some getting to 150 pounds and as low as 70 pounds. It all depends on the parent and how big they are. If it is a cross between an English it will not get so big...maybe around 85 pounds.
My bulldog Bertha is 13months old and she is not as big as she should be for a bulldog, what are some good home reciepes that i can make her or some good dog food that you would recommend?
Answer:I have to agree with the other poster that gaining her weight will only shorten her life.. She is only 13 months, she will still grow until shes about 2 or so. Also, it could depend on how big she was at birth, when my Bulldog pups were born last year, I have one who is just the runt period! She only weighed in at about 8 ozs, when born and I fought for her life to keep her alive. Today she is roughly about 48-50 lbs, but she is still way smaller than her brother and sister, she is only about 8 inches high from her shoulder to the floor, so she is very stout and a complete shorty.. I have to watch her weight gaining very closely because she will have a harder time breathing if any heavier.. Get your pup on a good quality food, Blue Buffalo is excellant if you only have one to feed instead of 5 like me.. below is a pic of Emma the day she was born at 8 oz. she is the one of the very left brindle and white.. http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n241/BULLDOGMOM06/pups008.jpg this is Emma today at 17 months http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n241/BULLDOGMOM06/Emmaon1stb-day.jpg
What is a breed you could mix a bulldog with that keeps it looking like a bulldog and at the same time keeps it puppy size? Or at least smaller than it's normal size?
Answer:A boston bulldog, pug, or a frenchie would work. You want the short nose and body with the dwarf leg appearance.
We have a english bulldog and she is 5 months old! When will her teeth show out the bottom as the older ones i see?
Answer:I don't recall when my english bulldog's teeth came through but it should be soon. Just make sure you don't let your english bulldog near a pool or pond because my english bulldog fell in my pool 3 weeks ago when we let him out to the bathroom in the morning and when we went to let him in, he was drowned in the pool :-( English bulldogs can't swim, they sink to the bottom.
