Very informative. I found out a great deal about the breed, including that it was not going to be the right breed for me. Shame really because in several respects a bulldog would have been perfect. Oh, well. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about getting a bulldog. Lots of good info, maybe a little long, but helpful none the less.

قرأت مجموعة كبيرة من كتب تدريب الحيوانات الأليفة و تحديداً الكلاب و القطط
الكتاب يتحدث عن نوع معين من الكلاب Bulldogs . علماً أنني لا احب هذا النوع من الكلاب إلا انني اكتشفت انه من أكثر انواع الكلاب مودة و خصوصاً إذا كان لديك أطفال في المنزل .
عموما اعجبني التفصيل في الكتاب و كيفية معرفة الأعراض التي قد يعاني منها او يصاب منها هذا النوع من الكلاب الكتاب جميل جداً و لكنه ليس عاماً

Really informative. As someone who has never had a bulldog it brought my attention to many things I need to be mindful of when we hopefully bring a bully into our family. The book is old so a few things may be out of date, but in general this is a great and easy to use resource.

I want a bulldog. I've wanted one for years. I love them, but my life & living situation is not conducive to one right now. My dad got me this book so I'll be ready when I can finally get my puppy.

This is an excellent reference for the Bulldog aka "English Bulldog" giving a brief history of the breed as well as characteristics and traits. It is full of tips for anyone interested in getting a bulldog. The book is also easy to read which is a plus.

Awesome information for a newbie.

I knew nothing about bulldogs and this was a great start into the breed and basic care and training. A good starting point.
