Great book about Bulldogs

This is a great book for those considering getting a bulldog. It was very straight forward and simple. I would recommend this book for all bulldog lovers.

I love Dummy books

and this one is no different. I bought this prior to getting my bulldog just to make sure I knew what I was doing and what to expect. I've referred back to this book many times in the first few months of getting my Bella. Lots of information on potty training, what toys to get, how to take care of her tear stained fur, and how to train a little. I think I've got a well-rounded bully but she's so smart it was easy on my part:) She doesn't think she's a bulldog though. When we're at the park, she wants to run with the 'long-legs' and she tries to herd them. There's nothing in the book for this:)

Full of Bull...in a good way!

As a breeder, I am frequently asked to recommend books about bulldogs. If you were only going to buy one book about the breed this is the one I recommend. During fifteen years of breeding I have purchased each new "guide" as they emerge and this by far covers in depth the little quirks and tricks to keeping your bully healthy and happy, including many that took me years to figure out! The familiar and user friendly "Dummies" format is easy to navigate and full of highlighted tidbits. A great investment for the bulldog owner, both new and experienced.

Great Educational Book!

This book was very helpful with our new bulldogs. It shares their history, health, behavior, attitude- it covers everything! It even has helpful hints I wasn't expecting to find! I would recomend to any new bulldog owner or to someone who is interested in owning bulldogs.
