I love these dogs
Ive been thinking about getting one, could you please tell me what they are like and the pros and cons
Sorry about not replying sooner, completely missed your post, anyway for the pros and cons:-
Pros
• LOADS of character
• Don’t need lots of exercise, as in very long walks, but ours love a run about and to get out and about to take in the sights and the smells.
• Bulldog looks but without as many of the health issues of the English Bulldogs
• Very playful
• Different, as in you hardly ever see them about.
• Good with children (well from our experience)
• Great companion dogs, they get on well together by themselves but love to curl up with us when that get a chance.
• Cheap and easy to maintain, but…
Cons
• Expensive to buy (up to a £1000 for a male and even more for a Female)
• Hard to come by, not many breeders, all of which seem to have long waiting lists (can be years)
• Not the longest life span, 10-12 would be a very good innings
• Can suffer in extreme heats so need to be careful in summer
