For certain, English Bulldogs are the ONLY breed for me. That said, if ever there was an animal where owning and reading the owners guide is absolutely required, this is it!!! An EB has the attitude and disposition of a Mastiff, encapsulated in a 55lb dog. They are wonderful, but require a lot of care. Many of the health problems that are prevalent in this breed can be avoided with proper care and know how. This book will help you to know what to do and when to do it.
