Can You Provide the Company A Bulldog requires?
Bulldogs are renowned for their devotion to their owners, they are living, sentient beings that love attention. Therefore it only makes sense that they need lots of human companionship and pine away without it.
Like any dog they will also become destructive chewers if bored, so its a good idea to provide lots of toys if you work long hours throughout the day. Also ensuring you walk your dog in the evening or early morning, spending at least 1 hour per day of good quality time with your companion.
In fact if you are gone for long hours during the day you may wish to choose a breed that can tolerate long periods alone. Otherwise consider acquiring 2 dogs, to keep each other company. We don’t recommend 2 undsexed males, as they can fight, regardless any 2 dogs should always be supervised-never feed them together. We all know bulldogs are very “mouthy” dogs, they lap up the attention, finding joy in big, sloppy, wet kisses. If this turns you off, you may hurt his feelings. In fact its the bulldogs constant demand for attention that is often frustrating for busy owners.
Bulldog puppies are particularly active and playful, so don’t expect him to sleep on the couch all day. This will come later!! Enjoy!
