They are dirty, slobbery, and they stink (even when sent to the groomer every 2 weeks, and having their rolls cleaned daily). They fart non-stop, and our dog is a money pit. I regret the decision every day. As a woman that likes a clean house, its not a possibility unless you walk around behind the dog with a mop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26430717.post-10106094890072476502009-03-18T19:58:00.000-04:002009-03-18T19:58:00.000-04:00I have an english bulldog..

IF you have them on the wet dog food it is brutal.. we give it as a treat and live with it. Otherwise if you have them on a good dog food and keep their human treats to a minimum you'll be odor free. We love our ENGLISH bully.. she's alot of fun..

We have an English and a French (we rescued the Frenchie) and they are two of the most loveable mugs you could ever hope for. The small petty people that call them "ugly" must be pretty sad looking themselves, I am a former model and I see such beauty and humor in them (right now my Frenchie is trying to get at my sweet tea martini, a bit of a wannabe lush I suppose:-)) that I cannot imagine the pathetic souls who consider them smelly and ugly (mine do pass gas but no more than my husband does and if you meet a female who says she doesn't, she is an alien). You deserve a bulldog or 3 and I hope you get one.

But I have the same problem I really really really want a french bulldog & my husband says no not because he thinks they fart which he'd probably think is funny or because he thinks they're disgusting because they kinda look like a smaller version of a boxer which he loves. The price is what has him saying no. I have a plan though because we have 2 kids & I have a mission so I have made my background a pic of a french bulldog and change it from one cute puppy to the next, my kids help me too, I also point out every french bulldog I see which there are a lot on tv these days, let me just say I have a lot of time and can wait, so I say BULLDOG!!! I have also seen other bulldogs and they are cute too, but like the french bulldog the best. Good luck if you didn't get one yet.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661846743149659407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26430717.post-65397569856362554712008-07-20T21:10:00.000-04:002008-07-20T21:10:00.000-04:00I say BULLDOG.

We also have a golden retriever who is amazing, but I can vouch that our little Frenchie does not fart or snore any more than our retriever does!

My boyfriend finally bought me one for my graduation from grad school. Anyway, I love, love, love him... but he does fart... a ... lot! Sometimes even so loud it wakes us up! But we laugh because he's so darn cute. My stepdad says he looks like a frying pan slammed him in his face but our opinion is either you think bulldogs are cute or you don't. They snort and fart a lot but they are the best dogs. Growing up I have had Great Danes, Springer Spaniels, and Golden Retrievers. Nothing has beat the love and attention I get from my little bulldog, Gus. He is the greates thing in the world.
