An all-new Dummies guide to an increasingly popular dog breed

Bulldogs, also known as English Bulldogs, recently moved up from 16th to 14th in the American Kennel Club’s breed rankings, with over 19,000 registered in 2004. This book delivers just what new Bulldog owners need to keep these affectionate, courageous dogs happy and healthy, covering feeding, grooming, supplies, and basic training. It provides in-depth coverage of Bulldog-specific health care issues, such the special care needed for their folds of skin, their vulnerability to the heat, and typical breeding challenges. The book also discusses other bulldog breeds, such as French Bulldogs (#49 in the AKC rankings) and American Bulldogs.
