Appearance...

The Bulldog is a relatively small but stocky breed, with a compact body and short, sturdy limbs. Their shape results in a waddle-like gait.

Bulldogs are known for their short muzzles and the saggy skin on their faces, creating the apparent "frown" that has become a trademark of the breed.

Bulldogs come in a variety of colours and ideally have a smooth, short coat. The size for mature dogs is about 50 pounds (23 kg); for mature bitches about 40 pounds (18 kg). Though stout, the adult Bulldog measures only about 12-14 inches (30-36 cm) tall at the shoulder.
