Everyone I talk to says that I should get an English bulldog that is female because it will be mellower and will interact better with my children; however, I would really like to get a male dog. Or maybe, the exact opposite is true. May you really want to get a female bulldog, but you are worried about it dropping blood around the house. So, which would make the best option when choosing a pet?

My opinion based on my professional standing as a breeder of bulldogs, is that just about every bulldog has a wonderful personality. These dogs tend to love people. They are almost all very friendly. If you have an intruder, do not think that your bulldog will make any move to do something about it, but your dog just might wag his tale and give the intruder a lick. When it comes to their personality, the majority of bulldogs will have a very mellow attitude and they will love being around people. You should not anticipate a huge difference between the sexes when it comes to this gentle personality trait.

The physical build of the bulldog in most cases will vary between the sexes. As a rule, the male bulldog will have a larger head, wider shoulders and chest with a bigger ribcage. The female while still a heavy boned dog will be noticeably smaller and more refined than the male bulldog. Now this is a generalization. There are always exceptions to the rule. If you want the biggest boned bulldog with a large head and massive rib cage you will most likely want to choose a male bulldog. Think of this like driving through the countryside. When you see a bull grazing out in the field you can tell it is a bull while driving at 50 miles an hour. You don’t have to stop and look for boy parts. It is obvious in most cases, even at driving speed. The same is true somewhat for a bulldog.

If spaying or neutering your bulldog puppy is in your plans, then you will certainly not need to concern yourself with a male trying to mark its territory or having the female spotting in the house a couple of times each year. Many bulldog owners definitely will not desire to take on the burden of taking care of a litter of bulldog puppies. If you know that you will not want to breed your dog, taking this measure will avoid a lot of messy cleanup duty. It can also help to improve the health of your puppy.

Once you determine your choice of male or female, only purchase from a reputable breeder. Do your due diligence research to establish the breeder to be consistent in maintaining the integrity of breed. No matter which sex you choose, the English bulldog is known for its personality and people-friendly disposition.
