I believe many friends who know something about pet dogs should have heard of pit bulls. Their main job in the early days was to tease bulls for people's entertainment. Fortunately, this slightly violent sport was banned after the 19th century, so many of them were "transformed" into watch dogs and pet dogs. Among these bulldogs, the English Bulldog, with its quiet and calm personality, is often the focus of purchase. However, for some novices, they will still face a lot of trouble in selection. For these friends, you should collect some of the following selection tips!
1. Pay attention to your mental state
Looking at the mental state of a British Bulldog is a very important inspection project. When a British Bulldog always likes to lie in the corner and is unwilling to move, and you take the initiative to interact with it, it will not respond. , it basically means that the dog’s mental state is not very good, and there may be problems such as poor physical fitness, mental weakness or physical disability. Therefore, everyone should try to choose some British bulldogs that like to circle around people's feet. This often means that the dog has a better temperament and can get along better with people.
2. Check the facial features
For a healthy British Bulldog, its ear canal should be clean, warm, without odor, Redness, swelling, bleeding, etc. Teeth need to be white, gums pink, no bad breath, and no other secretions other than saliva.

As for the eyes, although there are many wrinkles on the face, they should not affect the full closing and opening of the eyes. The eyes should give people a clean and bright feeling as a whole. On the premise of meeting the above standards, the dogs we choose are usually healthier.
3. Observe the hair and skin
The hair of the British Bulldog is rich and smooth, and it should not feel messy and dry. , and the color distribution is relatively balanced and not easy to break. The better coat colors of this breed include red tabby color, pure white, piebald color, etc. Pure black is actually not a good choice. If there are some piebald colors, Still acceptable. In addition, focus on checking the skin around the mouth, neck, abdomen, limbs, armpits, and anus to see if there are flaky or lumpy discolorations to rule out fungus or mite infection.risk of infection.
4. Pay attention to the trunk and bone mass
From the trunk point of view, whether it is an adult dog or a puppy, a healthy English Bulldog should be very strong. , very heavy. In addition, when actually selecting, everyone should also pay attention to the bone development of the dog, especially the calves and paws that support the body. You can touch it. If the bones are rich and strong, the dog will The body's physique is relatively stronger, and the disease resistance in the later stage will be much better.
