Bulldogs are heavy, low-slung companion dogs with a calm, affectionate style and modest exercise needs. Their short coat is simple, but facial folds, skin, weight, and heat tolerance require steady care. They are not built for intense activity, especially in warm weather. The adult weight ranges for Bulldogs are approximate, and owners should work with a veterinarian on healthy condition rather than chasing a number.
