Background:  This sourpuss is really hiding a sweet soul.  Bulldogs snort and snore, but that's just their way of showing contentment.  A true couch potato, the Bulldog does not require a lot of exercise due to their face and body type.  During the summer, an air-conditioned house is his favorite place to be.  Bulldogs love children and are sturdy companions.  His slow moving pace is appreciated by the elderly.  The Bulldog's coat only needs a quick brushing, but his face must be kept clean.
