The following items are to disclose health problems known to exist in the Bulldog Breed that are not hereditary. They are widely known to have: Throat (elongated Pallet), nose, ear, eye, trachea, allergy, skin, breathing, heat intolerance, hip and spine problems, amongst other less prominent genetic, not hereditary problems and defects that are too often undetectable by the breeder or the examining veterinarian at time of birth.  Just a few maintenance issues to be aware of .....The extensive wrinkles build up moisture, dirt, grime and bacteria.  This must be cleaned daily to prevent infections and stains.  Many bulldogs have tight and screw tails.  This is the same concept as the wrinkles but can also trap fecal matter.  Some need to be cleaned several times a day or will become infected, painful and could need to be amputated if that happens.  Bulldogs must also be kept cool and not allowed to overheat.  

Please do research before purchasing a Bulldog!  These health problems are very serious but most can be prevented by finding a responsible breeder who has bred the unhealthy traits out of their lines.

Bulldogs are very sensitive to heat and very hard to cool down if overheated.   Bulldog owners need to be ever so careful about walking  Bulldogs; to make certain the distance is tolerable, enjoyable and does not threaten the well being. Only walk a Bulldog during the coolest time of the 24-hour day. NEVER leave a Bulldog in a vehicle without the air conditioning operating to keep the dog cool… The Bulldog, if left unattended without the air conditioning operating, can overheat in 2 or 3 minutes, faster than any other breed with fatal results.

1. Bulldogs must be maintained with normal and adequate veterinary care.
2. Bulldogs should NOT be sold through a pet store, Foreign Country Exporter/Importer, or retail establishment. 
3. Bulldogs are never to be neglected of love, attention, training, proper medical and nutritional care.
