He looks absolutely adorable. There is one thing though... he does have floppy ears. How old is he? If he is not very old you could still be able to correct them by taping or glueing. I prefer taping and here is a pic how to do it.12717902_10208480750156183_6968919304936278271_n.jpg

I would give it a try. If these are resent pictures he could stil be so young that it would do the trick.

And for you all bullies out there who have floppy ears.... you're just as beautiful as the next guy with rose ears.... but just not for shows:heartsign:

He really is a gorgeous pup,,,,,, and hope someone can help with the "biting' issue... I don't think that will go over any too well in a ring... lol hopefully that stage will be gone by then.

As far as I noticed, rose-shaped ears requirement seems to be not so strict here in the US, like in Europe. In Europe yeah, no way. In Europe they would also probably consider his nose rope not big enough.
You should make also a nice side view picture for proportions and rear end picture (to assess tail).

And just curious but how old are bully pups when they come out of the biting stage hopefully soon I mean he trys but when he gets to playing its like he forgets the rules of playing nice or when he wants ur attention or when he doesent get his way well OK all the time when anything happens lol he nips a little and forgets the rules just curious if this is just him being a puppy or if he's just being a brat

His ears are too floppy, and a little nosy (snoot too long) but he is a cutie pie thought.

By many names depending on the situation?
Hi,

I suggest to go visit local dogs shows to see other Bulldogs being shown, which ones win and how they are handled. Also study the BCA breed standards and be honest when comparing your puppy to the bred standards. We all LOVE our bulldogs. Only some are show dogs in conformation shows but ALL are welcome in FUN shows. Check to see if there is a local Bulldog club in your area.

Find a handler and take lessons. Showing a Bulldog (or any dog) is way more than walking on a leash. The handler needs to train YOU and your dog. Take lessons, practice and show. Learn from what went right and what went wrong. Find a mentor.

For now, have someone take pictures of your dog from about 3 feet away from the front, side, back and standing over the top. Hold your dog on a leash and have your dog standing, not sitting, not laying down. The pictures need to be from the ground level, not from standing up and looking down, except for the overhead view directly over the back.
