I was wondering if Uni is lazy than most bullies? She hardly plays with us. How playful are most bulldogs? How can I get her to play more? I try to play with ;her all the time but most the time she will just look at me with those big eyes like I'm crazy. She has tons of toys but it seems like the only ones she really likes are the ones that I can stuff food/ treats into.

I have only had 1 bulldog and he is so far from lazy :lol: My cousin has a female and she has been lazy since they brought her home at 9 weeks! She would play for 1 hour total out of the whole day! SHe loved to sleep and just cuddle! You are lucky you dont have Brutus at your house! :rofl:

I just got a chihuahua jack russel mix puppy. He's four months. He and Sadie have the SAME energy level................

Sadie is VERY athletic and active!! She is so far from the typical bully lazy stereotype. I've had the thought that rally ball would be a good sport for her.

You are right, I do know that we are lucky to have such a well behaved fur baby, but some times I want to play with my dog and she just doesn't have that.

Frank loves playing but only when he wants to. The rest of the time, he just wants to be left alone. So basically, it all revolves around his mood!

Guinness loves to play! If you near a toy, or accidentally hit one with your foot when you are walking by, her head goes up, you get the head tilt and the look that says "Play?!" If she's not playing or trying to engage you in play, then she is usually chilling.

Chelios (Frenchie), Nitschke (2004-2011) Banks (2005-2014) and Lambeau (2014-2024)
Nitschke would play at any time with anything... but it would only last about 20-30 mins then back to sleep. Banks has a higher energy level and she will play for hours, IF you have the right toy. She is picky about what she will play with and you have to see which she wants to play with --- we can't just pick up anything

Lola & Fox
i thought Lola was a lazy puppy, but her energy just comes in spurts. she is up for an hour or two int he morning, and is rough housing for 15 minutes of that, then plays fetch about twice at lunch (fetches a stuffie exactly two times), then maybe 1 or 2 15 minute spurts in the evening...especially if we exercise at home (lots of cardio). but some days she will only play once total. she can be a lazy fart sometimes, and even when we try to rile her up, it's no use, back to cuddlin'
