In males it is later than in females, because thestructure of the skull is not fully developed until that age. It is important to review at leastevery 3 months (some match and vaccines, microchip, deworming) to make sure we do not show developmental disorders.

Why the bulldog are so expensive ?

This is due to problems with reproduction.

If we add the cost of the stallion, insemination, ultrasound and emergency caesarean section refers to the high cost of the race.
Furthermore, some mothers made ​​over the cubs to protect them but they suffocate it to be monitored at least one week, 24 hours a day.

English Bulldog Care



Tear Stains:

If your dog has white on his face around his eyes over time you may find his face stained to red. This is caused by the tears from the dog. This may be from the coloring in the dogs food he is eating or in some cases the dog itself will produce red tears. It will happen on dark faced dogs also, but can be seen on white faced dogs more.

Below are more tear stain removal ideas.

The damp hair is a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast growth that can come from unfiltered water or dog food which makes the reddish brown discoloring on the dogs fur. You may have to try different dog foods till you find one just right for you. (The red dye in the dogs food causes a lot of this problem). Water should be in a stainless steel bowl to prevent bacteria harboring in porous materials such as plastic, unless you clean each day as I do.
