Personality & Temperament
The Bulldog is calm, dependable, and surprisingly affectionate with family members. Despite a determined streak, they are generally gentle with children and tolerant of other pets. They are not particularly energetic and are content with moderate activity and plenty of rest. Their easygoing nature makes them well suited to first-time owners, though their stubbornness means training requires patience and consistency rather than force.
