There are several things to be aware of with Bulldogs!

Heat Sensitivity
Bulldogs are extremely intolerant of heat. Good ventilation and air conditioning are essential to the breed. Wire crates are best for air circulation. Your Bulldog must be kept in an air-conditioned area with limited trips outside when the outside temperature is over 80° or the humidity is high. Close supervision is required during outside activity, especially in spring and summer to prevent over-exertion leading to over-heating. Dogs do not have sweat glands all over their bodies. They can sweat only through their pads and they can dissipate heat effectively through panting. They also are not usually capable of prolonged physical activiy whether the temperature is very warm or cold; a Bulldog is not for someone who enjoys taking a dog for long walks though the countryside.
