Are Bully's Really Different To Other Breeds ?

[Zedsded]

I honestly believe the term "a breed apart" was coined for bulldogs! I have had quite a selection of breeds throughout my life but none of them are like a bulldog. They really do make you laugh and can make you so frustrated (often at the same time!) because of their stubbornness. It took me many years to get my husband to agree to get one but now he is well and truly hooked! Wonderful dogs!

We totally agree! And we thought about getting one for ten years and then finally took the plunge! And YES he TOTALLY owns both of us

Really nice to hear all your thoughts on this guys �� they really are special little dogs

I have had a couple of different breeds and I have loved them all like my children, my border collie was so special to me, I rescued her and she was a loving loyal beautiful easy going dog, when she passed is when we got our first and only bulldog, I will agree they are like no other, their emotions are human like that's is one of the things that make Bazza different, you certainly know when he is sad, when he is happy, he sulks when told off, etc, they wear their hearts on their sleeves. It would be hard not to wanna own more and more

I agree w/what the others have stated… bullies are their "own" breed absolutely!!! I would also like to add that in our home I had my beloved boxer Roxie, and she lived thru having 4 bulldogs in our home!!! She actually learned traits from the bulldogs… it was hysterical. She started going along w/whatever madness our bulldogs were doing at the time, and we always laughed because she was SO much bigger than them. I guess she figured she might as well join in on the madness… Lol

Dudley is super cute… Welcome to EBN!!!

Dudley is on handsome boy -- agree with the others -- you are so owned by him and how could you not be.

I use to work at a dog daycare and every breed you could think of came in at some point -- only two connected with me because they have their own personalities .. Bulldogs and French Bulldogs. I love all canines, but to me, the Bulldog has more character and unique personality than the others.

I've had other breeds but none like a Bulldog, they are special. I think for me the love is so great because they do truly need me like no other dog has ever before. They come to ask me for things and my interaction with them is much more parent/child like than owner/dog like... My bulldogs even have their own room and their own special beds and blankets and I tuck them in every night, I have my special routines with them like I've never had with any dog before. I can't stand leaving them even for a day and sometimes when I look at them sleeping I get overwhelmed by how much I love them. It's scary in a way but totally worth it <3

Dudley is adorable you wont think it's possible but you'll love him more and more for every single day, enjoy

I had my first bulldog a long time ago. When my dad came over and had been around her for a little while, he said laughingly, "well, that dog certainly covers the ground she walks on!" I often think of that statement. Bullies have such BIG personalities and they tend to get their way. Every time I've lost one, I just can't believe that the world can just go on without this huge personality in it!

I've always had boxers too, and I love them just as much, but it's just different. [MENTION=9157]ddnene[/MENTION] Tracey, my bullies have always used their paws just like boxers. (but not Winnie though--no boxer now) And my first bully, Daisy, helped raise our litter of boxer puppies--she was really good at it too!

Dudley is adorable! You're so lucky to have found him!

I have never owned any other breed of dog and never will. Bully's are really not just dogs, they're bulldogs, a breed and species of their own.View attachment 88249

Perfectly put!!

bulldogs are actually humans trapped in a dog's body.

I agree! I think this is what gets me most of all. Bella has so many human-like emotions. I marvel at her sometimes. You know what else...She brings joy to, not only me but, everyone we encounter. She's truly a blessing. Honestly, I'm honored that I get to take care of her.

Well this thread really has confirmed what we thought and we often say Dudley seems more like having a mischievous toddler around the house rather than a pet. Thanks for all the kind words about Dudley he is a cutie and he knows it! and plays on it!
RiiSi that picture is fantastic! made me smile, that said i cant help looking at a bully without smiling! :D

Si.

I grew up with a beagle and a yellow lab. As an adult I have owned two Bulldogs. I have had friends and family who have owned several other breeds and to me the Bulldog is in a completely different category, and I don't think I will ever own any other breed.

This ^^

I never refer to them as dogs, they're "bulldogs" .. completely different

Just realized that I too, do not refer to them as dogs...they are bulldogs.

And as [MENTION=3354]RiiSi[/MENTION] & Ellie say, bulldogs are a species unto themselves
