What is your biggest frustration with owning an English Bulldog?

Hope the cops arent like the ones here in Florida....IT Takes waaaayyyyy longer than a minute to respond to home alarms.....

socialization with other dogs has been the hardest for me

I'll admit that the thought has crossed my mind about someone potentially trying to steal Lola, but I didn't think much of it....Does this happen a lot? I'm a pretty big guy, so i doubt someone would try to take her from while i walk her, but i also take her on car rides with me. I don't leave her there for long, but certainly long enough for someone to swipe her...that's a horrifying thought!

Oh yes they will steal her if you leave her in the car, I would stop that and fast. Heck we are all worried about people knowing we have them and stealing them from our homes, let alone out in the open. You are safe to walk her its just a matter of who is watching where you live is the biggest worry for you. We have nra stickers all over our windows so I figure you would have to be crazy to even think about it but then again there are a lot of crazies out there.

I also fear of them being stolen. I have locks on my gates but do not allow them to be outside on their own. In the evenings when it's cooler they like to play outside but unless I can sit out with them I don't let them in the yard.

The more I hear about you guys the more you sound just like us LOL

I worry about everything. Plain and simple.

Actually, my greatest frustration is all of the conflicting information I'm getting from different Veternarians. Trying to find a Veternarian who is schooled and experienced in Bulldogs and bracycephalic Breeds is next to impossible. Very few have alot of experience with Bulldogs, so I find I keep getting alot of conflicting information from these Veternarians. Unfortunately, in my area, there are no Vets
that are highly experienced with Bulldogs.

Nice to bring old post alive...

Elmo does not like all of his playmates here at home, we have 9 now, Sadie, our Smooth Hair Collie passed away 6/18/2016 with cancer. Elmo only excepts two out of nine, Bosco and Lolly Pop, they are Boston Terriers. I wish Elmo loved all dogs. I accept Elmo the way he is, he is My Elmo Boy who I Love So-oo-oo Very Much.

I have a few frustrations:
1. Murphy isn't a great cuddler. She'll sleep at my feet or on my face.
2. She tends to stop walking in the dead-middle of the road- very stubborn.
3. (Greatest Frustration) I'm scared that Murphy will overheat. She gets too excited when we go out and does not know when to stop playing. I'm scared to even bring her to doggie daycare or have her boarded.

Regarding #3, when I brought my GS to boarding cause I had to fly out, trust me they were very warn not to put him with any dog or he would rip them apart and I even had them sign it on my contract. They would take Major out on his own and play with him. You can have them put on your boarding/contract NO playing as bulldogs are known to overheat. Trust me they will keep an eye out so the dont get sued. Or what you can do is get a private dog sitter.

Regarding #2: Jersey has always done this. Whether we've been out for 10 seconds or 10 minutes, she just stops. Doesn't look to the left or right, doesn't whine or bark. just a full stop. Like someone pulled the emergency brake. I think it's hysterical; part of the wonderfulness of her... I wait, let her gain her composure (or whatever it is she's doing) and we carry on smartly.
