be in the company of their family. They adore children and make an excellent
companion to them because of their gentle, yet sometimes stubborn nature. Bulldogs

charm. Some are known to have chronic flatulence. They have the jutted
jaw of the original Bulldogs, yet the smaller body and happy personality that
the previous did not retain. Bulldogs have been bred from fighting dogs and
bull-baiters to friendly happy companions. They are quiet, loving, and gentile.

to take naps and be lazy, although exercise should be in their weekly regimen.
