Bulldogs grew to have such large jaws and stocky, strong frames because of this initial deadly vocation, which was outlawed in England for obvious reasons. Bulldogs have an eight- to ten-year lifespan. Bulldogs are amiable and humorous, but because of their stubborn nature, they can be challenging to teach. Additionally, they are prone to obesity, so be sure to monitor their diet. Considering the prevalence of health problems with bulldogs, purchasing pet insurance is a good option.
