Bulldog Standards

The bulldog is classically known for its large, round head atop a low-to-the ground, thick body. Wrinkles are definitely a part of the bulldog’s head. Bulldogs generally range in weight from 40 to 50 pounds. Their gait can be described as “rolling.” Unlike their bull-baiting predecessors, the modern day bulldog is typically an affable, although quite frequently, stubborn, companion.
