Be sure that the character and the lifestyle you lead match up to a bulldog, whose breed characteristics are a companion dog that thrives on human company, sleeping a lot is how most people view the dog but in reality a young bulldog is every bit as active and boisterous as any breed of puppy, if left alone for long periods they can be destructive out of boredom !!! Having decided on a Bulldog be aware of the many cross bred bulldogs being advertised you need a BULLDOG Kennel Club Registered .... any dog with a prefix like old Tyme or Victorian, or Regency and selling for a very much cheaper price should be avoided as if you want the 'Churchill type' you just want a Bulldog
