you’ll never find a sweeter dog than a Bulldog. We had them years ago......beware, they’re not called the lazy mans dog for nothing. They don’t do overexertion very well......;)

Our dog is a Staffy/bulldog mix; he is a rescue from Chicago’s Southside. He is sweet as can be. But, lazy? Lazy is too weak a word to describe him. Between being lazy and stubborn, he doesn’t get much done. On walks he’s gangbusters for the first five minutes or so, then PLOP! He’s on his belly, with that look that says “You don’t really expect me to get up and keep going, do you?” That’s a bit of hyperbole, but not by much!

Now that’s a dog for me! What about coat (oily, shed?), skin problems, drooling, breath, medical problems, longevity? Good with children or strangers?

Thanks!
