English Bulldog
Medium · 40–50 lbs
Originally bred for the now-banned sport of bull-baiting in medieval England — where dogs were trained to grip a bull's nose and pin it to the ground — the English Bulldog's entire physique, including its low center of gravity, wide stance, and undershot jaw, was purpose-built for this brutal activity. When bull-baiting was outlawed in 1835, enthusiasts preserved and gentled the breed as a companion.
The English Bulldog is a calm, affectionate couch companion — one of the lowest-energy breeds available (30/100), needing just 20 minutes of daily exercise and scoring 85/100 in friendliness. However, serious breathing issues, skin fold infections, and a lifespan of only 8–10 years make this one of the highest-maintenance breeds in terms of veterinary costs.

Grooming effort for this breed is relatively low. The English Bulldog coat is easy to maintain with basic weekly brushing and an occasional bath.

Before buying, ask breeders for health clearances on the parents — reputable breeders will have OFA (hips/elbows) or equivalent certifications on file.
