Severely shortened muzzle causes lifelong breathing difficulties. Most cannot exercise normally, overheat easily, and snore/gasp constantly.
Physical structure prevents natural mating and birthing. Artificial insemination and C-sections required. Consider ethical implications.
Cannot handle heat or exercise. Need air conditioning year-round. Short walks only. Perfect for sedentary lifestyle.
Despite health issues, Bulldogs are gentle, patient, and excellent with children. Their personality is their saving grace.
Bulldogs face more health challenges than almost any other breed. Breeding requires serious ethical consideration.
Most Bulldogs cannot breathe properly. Select for longer muzzles, open nostrils. Many require surgery. NEVER breed extreme types.
Over 70% of Bulldogs have hip dysplasia. OFA or PennHIP testing mandatory. Breeding only good/excellent hips still produces affected puppies.
95%+ of Bulldogs require C-sections due to large heads and narrow pelvis. Natural birth often impossible. Budget $3,000-$5,000 per litter.
Protruding eyes prone to cherry eye, entropion, ectropion. Annual eye exams required. May need multiple surgeries.
Deep facial and body wrinkles trap moisture and bacteria. Daily cleaning required. Select for moderate wrinkles.
Cannot regulate temperature. Heat stroke can be fatal in minutes. Require air conditioning. Cannot exercise in warm weather.
Extremely prone to food and environmental allergies. Chronic ear infections common. Expensive lifelong management.
Corkscrew tail associated with spinal malformations. X-ray screening recommended. Can cause paralysis.
The Bulldog breed faces a welfare crisis. Their extreme physical features cause lifelong suffering:
Consider carefully: Is it ethical to breed dogs that cannot perform basic biological functions? Many veterinarians and animal welfare organizations now discourage Bulldog breeding. If you choose to breed, commit to improving the breed's health by selecting for longer muzzles, open nostrils, and less extreme features.
If you choose to breed Bulldogs, follow these guidelines to minimize suffering
Male Bulldogs
2 to 5 years
Female Bulldogs
2 to 4 years
Very limited breeding window due to health issues. Many females can only handle 1-2 C-sections safely.
Despite extensive testing, Bulldogs remain one of the unhealthiest breeds. Consider whether breeding is ethical.
Females: Maximum 2-3 litters lifetime due to C-section risks
Minimum 18-24 months between C-sections
Multiple C-sections take extreme toll. Many vets recommend spaying after 2nd C-section
