thank you

It is a preference really. When you have a bit of Olde English mixed in, there is usually less breathing issues because their snouts are a bit longer.. Just keep in mind any type of mixing is not a 50/50 shot and all of the warnings for breathing, allergies, heat and what not, still apply. They could still have all the sensitivites of a purebred. My Brutus is mixed with Olde English and while he does not have breathing issues, he is full of allergies and OCD and all the bully traits. My Frankie is a Victorian Bulldog which means he is American Bulldog x English Bulldog and he is super heat sensitive and has a windpipe the size of a wide straw. Any bulldog mix will require the usual bulldog precautions. Brutus is the one sitting by the couch and Frankie is laying down, aren't they adorable?? I'm sorry, I can't help it, I love them like crazy.

As these excellent responses warn, it's all a crapshoot and really, as Rosalie said, comes down to preference.
If you've not owned (snicker they own us) a bulldog before, you might stay here and research the articles
under Forum. Keep in mind, some bulldogs never have any problems at all, some live many years more than
8-9 years. All of them require daily upkeep, indoor life under AC, good quality kibble & tolerance for shedding.
Oh, they require companionship most of all, they are incredibly devoted! Keep us updated & Good luck!
