I want to get a puppy but want to make sure that the breed of dog I get is good. I've been looking at English Bulldog puppies. I've read that they are very friendly and pretty laid back and great with kids. Anyone have any more advice on them? Much appreciated!

I have a black lab. He's great. Good with kids and fun!

Be careful when buying English Bulldog puppies. They have been overbred because of the popularity and are very expensive. They may seem healthy as a puppy but as they get older then tend to have a lot of health problems including bad hips. They can be expensive with vet bills. Good luck

I have a shih tzu, and he is awesome! He is pretty low maintenance, other than the hair cuts he requires. I hear English Bulldogs are really good too, they just have a lot of health issues. I'd look into that before getting one.

I have an akita, and she is just the best dog ever! However, some people consider them "bully breeds", such as pit bulls. I have no idea why. They are VERY smart, sweet and loyal. And,extra plus, they hardly ever bark.

Bulldogs are good but i LOVE labs!! My lil sister was deathly afraid of dogs untill we got one then after a week she was alover that dog and hasnt been afraid of them since.

pugs are good breeds so are boston terriers. easily trained, not barkers and love to cuddle. my dog is a mix of these breeds-buggs. but i don't encourage designer breeding. but they are great.

English bulldogs are gorgeous, I think. They're very friendly and very laid back. You do have to be a little careful with bulldogs and kids - generally the bulldog will be fine, but be aware that this is a powerful dog, and it can do small kids damage by accident if it's allowed to "play rough" with them. You need to make sure that the bulldog is very well trained (or train it yourself), and that your kids are well trained to play with it, too!

Depends on your needs. At http://www.puppyfind.com you can search for dogs based on size and upkeep. Make your selection from these criteria, and you will get a list of breed suggestions. By clicking on any of the breeds in the list, you will get more in-depth information (country of origin, size, coat, character, temperament, care, training and activity) about that particular dog. And with a little time and looking you'll find the perfect pooch.

they are very cute but also come with a lot of faults due to a lot of inbreeding of the breed and also their legs suffer a lot and some people find the medical bills very costly as you well know they also have very short legs and cant go as fast as other breeds on top of which they have a very heavy torso I'm sorry if I'm being negative but also they have a lot of breathing problems because their nose is so squashed there are very good breeders who have healthy bull dogs but they may not look like the typical ones that you see every day the better breed ones tend to be leaner and longer also contact the kennel club they will be able to help you a lot more than i and if not go to a bull dog website there are many breeders who will advice you remember a dog is for life if you don't like him after he isn't a puppy anymore you cant just chuck him good luck im also getting a puppy this summer but we are looking at Akita's and great Dane's
