English Bulldog Characteristics
English Bulldogs have small, thin ears located at the back of the head, as well as deep folds of loose skin that start on the forehead and extend down to the jowl. Their anatomy is classified as brachycephalic, with eyes set wide above a short muzzle that features a broad, black nose, hanging upper lips, and a strongly undershot lower jaw.
Bulldogs are characterized by their large heads and broad shoulders. Given their short, sturdy, and wide-set legs, they tend to move quite slow. Classified as medium-sized dogs, the average English Bulldog weight is between 40 and 50 pounds and stand between 12 and 16 inches tall at the shoulders.
This breed has a short, smooth coat that comes in a variety of colors, including white, fawn, red, and brindle. Some of their distinctive accents include white markings, piebald markings, and black masks.
Pugs tend to be over-eaters and can quickly become overweight if their food intake is not monitored properly.
