English Bulldog
The common bulldog is referred as English bulldog. As its name indicates, the origin of English bulldog was England.

There is a skin fold above the muzzle, called rope. Their mouth is a drooping one, and has hanging skin under the neck. English bulldogs have broad shoulders; those are prominent when compared with the height. A well-built male bulldog is about 23 to 25 kilograms in weight and roughly about 4o centimetres tall at the withers. English bulldog’s neck is characteristically short and wide. Their fur coat is short with red, fawn, white, or mixed colours. Due to their smaller size, they do not need to do more exercises, and they can be kept even in a small area like a small apartment. Bulldogs can live between seven and twelve years in healthy conditions. Because of their drooping eyes, they are more prone to cherry eye and protrusion of third eye lid. Since they are sensitive to the extreme heat during summer, cooling methods should be available to control their body temperature.

Usually, their body weights vary from 25 to 55 kilograms and the height at withers ranges from 50 to 70 centimetres.
