Who here owns an english bulldog? i have questions

[Dirtymaxx03]

Well im thinking about getting a pup. I like bulldogs because A) they are badass
B) they arent spazoids C) they are small. However i am wondering about the "maintenance cost" of owning an English Bulldog and if they have alot of health problems. I want a dog, not a money pit of an animal. So what do yall have to say?

My buddy has one. Nasty ass dog. Literally. he had to get it's tail removed because of health issues. It always smell's horrible.

 

[Dirtymaxx03]

sounds like he took good care of it

 

[Tank222]

They defiantly take care of it. They have two. Ones just a health mess.

I just put my BD down last month. Ten years old male 64lbs. I bought him for $1500 when he was 4 months old. I didn't have any problems from 0-4 years after that I bet I spent almost twice what I paid for him in vet bills. Mine needed a bath once a week, and face clean everyday. Have to watch how much they play outside in the heat. Over heat easily. Bad gas and snored loudly. Other that, good dog. He slept 20 hours a day.

i like that last part.

bulldogs are cool because when you want to play, they will play, when you want to relax, they will **** off and sleep somewhere lol

awsome dogs my friend has 2 of them but alot of work and they stink all the time and always cleaning their faces

get a mixed breed dog, usually have fewer health issues and live longer. or get a boxer, my favorite breed

 

[rmallen30]

x2 i have 3 boxers but mine are very hyper lol one is just a total spaz

 

[iPhattMatt]

i have 1 pure bred and 1 boxer mix and a cavalier/bichon? mix. i have had several boxers and i will always have at least 1 around. a fantastic family dog.

Iv got a choc lab english american mix isnt a huge dog and is really really good. Not sure if thats to big for you but thats my suggestion.

 

[Dirtymaxx03]

Do boxers have a lot of health problems like the bulldogs? Or are they closer to what a lab would be.

 

[iPhattMatt]

they can have some heart and joint problems and generally live between 7-9 years. I have/had 3.5 boxers and 1 died of health complications at 7, one lived to be 13 and the other 1.5 boxers have been perfect so far. so they can have issues but they are a low maintenance breed. leave the ears natural though, it shows more of their personality.

 

[rmallen30]

2 of mine are 9 and one in almost 2 so far no problems one is showing signs of some joint pain but her sister is just fine the one that has joint pain is a fatty though lol

My buddy paid $2,000.00 for his and $6,000 later had to put her down. My inlaws have one that has cost a couple thousand and a mini bulldog that has no problems. On top of that they stink and the health problems seem to be crazy yet luck of the draw.
