Bulldogs may look like grumpy old men, but they are among the gentlest dogs, and easy to keep in an apartment. Once a person has kept a bulldog as a pet, he or she will keep getting more. Choosing any puppy is not easy- they are all so adorable. Usually, the ones who are friendlier and more playful, are the best of a litter, but any one may just steal your heart at first sight. Bull dog puppies are normally a litter of four to five. It is not uncommon for them to be delivered by Caesarian section because of their broad heads.

Normally bull dog puppies can be weaned off and brought home by the time they are six weeks old. Bull dog puppies, like all others need a lot of love and cuddling when they leave their mother. They also need a lot of rest and plenty to eat. Above all, they need to be loved. Imagine their trauma at being separated from their mother and siblings!

Bull Dog Puppies in Their New Homes

At least for the first couple of weeks, the routine of the bull dog puppies should remain as it was in the breeder’s home, to make them feel secure. They should be fed the same quantity and brand of puppy food, at the same time, and same number of times. They should have a fixed place to eat, and bed to rest. It is best not to over excite, or over tire the bull dog puppies when they are new in the house. They should get adequate rest. Any change in routine, particularly meals, should be introduced slowly.

The bull dog puppies need a few things in their new homes. Their meal and water bowls should be preferably of stainless steel, with flat bottoms and straight sides. A clean bed in a wire crate kept in a particular corner is something that has to be organized right on the first night they are home. A wire crate makes it easier to house train them. A light small link collar and lead is useful while going for a walk. The lead will have to get stronger as the bull dog puppies grow up.
