You may recognize a Bulldog’s signature grump face from a mile away, but their appearance is rarely indicative of their personalities. Beneath that scurly scowl is one of the most affectionate, low-maintenance dogs around. They’re the perfect companions for adults, kids, and just about anyone who appreciates a relaxing day on the couch. Full-grown, they typically weigh 60-100 pounds and stand 20-25 inches tall.

American Bulldogs are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Bulldogs enjoy living with other dogs and pets. The breed is great with children and can adapt to any lifestyle. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.

The Bulldog’s easygoing personality extends to its exercise needs too. They don’t need much activity and will adapt themselves to your family’s lifestyle whether energetic or sedentary. Bulldogs will happily go along for a short walk, but they’ll be ready for a nap after a few blocks. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.

The Bulldog has a short, smooth, glossy coat that comes in beige, mottled colors, brindle, or white. Their fur is easy to groom and only requires a quick brushing a few times each week. However, their facial wrinkles need a little extra TLC, as the folds can gather bacteria quickly. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

American Bulldogs are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. Their size and general lack of barking make them well-suited for apartment life, but they won’t complain about having a home with more space and a yard. Regardless of the setting, they should be kept as primarily indoor dogs. They are fairly easy to train.
