| This time of year there are a lot of dangling, enticing little do-dads for your new English Bulldog Puppy to find intriguing. Lights, the silver strands, ornaments, etc. Make sure to watch your little guy. He may find that disassembling the tree is a lot of fun. Of course, you are probably well aware of the dangers with electric cord and broken glass. Take extra precautions, hang the lights higher than they can reach. Your tree may not be decorated to your desire but what is one year. Next year he will be older and more appreciative of the beautiful decorations you have spent hours putting on the tree, and not find them as new toys. Another idea is to put the tree in a room where the bully is not allowed to travel. Sometimes this is the safest and best options. Have a Happy and Safe Holiday. |

| The best source for a high quality English Bulldog is a responsible breeder. However, the truth is that you will not find one on every corner. You may have to travel to find a good breeder or have your puppy shipped to you. Sometimes you may even have to wait, but it is well worth it.
Most good breeders don't mind allowing you to visit their homes and kennels. Being able to meet the parents of your new baby is very important. You will be able to get a pretty good idea of what your pupppy may turn out to be when grown in regards to size, color and temperament.
Any reputable breeder will tell you that raising bullies is no piece of cake. They require a lot of attention the first few weeks of life until the age at which time they are ready to be released to their new parents. It takes a lot of dedicaton and care on the breeders behalf.
Ask questions: They only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Make a list and check it twice. A good breeder will be willing to spend their time assisting you and answering your questions. |

| The safest way for you new English Bulldog Puppy to travel is in a crate in the back seat of your car. Usually they will lie down and rest or sometime just sit up and watch the world go by. Most bullies love to go for car rides. There are also doggie seat belts available at most pet stores. Never allow your pet to just run loose around the vehicle. Take all safety precautions that you would with your own child. |

| Fact! Dogs like crates since they mimic the close living quarters of a wolf's. The thought that crating your dog is cruel or unusual is not accurate. Here's how crate training will simplify potting training and gives the puppy a much space of their own.
*Crating the puppy several times a day is an excellent way to potty train. Plus it gives them some much needed time of their own.
*The crate whould mimic a den. Make it cozy and comfortable with blankets or pads, then cover the crate. Most crates come with a special cover made to fit.
*Use the crate for naps, bedtime and often needed breaks away from the daily chaos.
*Purchase larger crate especially for bullies. When grown they will need enough room to sit, lie and turn around comfortably.
*The secret is to purchase a well vented crate with the dividers sections provided. When he/she is a pup use the divider to section off the crate to just enough room for the pup to sleep. They will try very hard not to deficate where they sleep.
*Of course the puppy will need frequent bathroom breaks. Everytime you take him out of the crate, go outside and allow him to eliminate.
*Never leave the puppy in his crate all day. He needs playtime and feedings on a set schedule. We recommend putting the puppy on a set feeding schedule of 8 AM, 12 PM, 4PM and 8 PM. Use lunch breaks to come home and allow the puppy to eat and use the outdoors. Most work schedules will permit this schedule or close to it.
*Never use the crate as punishment. It should always be a haven for the puppy not a jail cell.
If you follow these guidelines, you will find yourself with a much easier trained and much happier puppy. |

| If you take your Bulldog for a daily morning walk, he/she will come to expect it and may even bring his/her leash to you. English Bulldogs tend to get up about the same time each day, and go to bed about the same time each night. Bulldogs are much like children. The more the routine is practiced the better he/she behaves. The Bulldog begins to know what to expect next. Just pay attention around feeding times. They will defintely let you know. |

| There are some types of rascally and curious behaviors that bring a puppy into dangerous situations and on other occasions the owner himself or herself, without knowing it, exposes the puppy to. One of the first measures you need to take is to close the doors and windows so that the puppy does not accidentally escape. If you have a balcony in your home, you must make sure to cover the spaces the puppy could fall through with a wire mesh to prevent an accident from happening. Another thing that we often take for granted are electric cord and cables on floor level that puppies are really attracted to since they are fun to chew on. Make sure to cover these or remove them to make sure the puppy does not get electrocuted. Make sure you check to see that there isn't anything the puppy could pull on, such as a tablecloth etc, which could fall on his head, or that there aren't any sharp corners or angles on furniture that could hurt the puppy. Make sure whenever closing a door, the puppy is not behind you going through the door right at that moment to avoid it from getting squished. If bringing home a new puppy, please be very careful with small objects you leave around the house or outside that the puppy could swallow and choke on such as buttons, coins, balls, needles, etc and anything that could be harmful. Never leave cleaning products at the puppy's reach. Some of the cleaning products are toxic and are very dangerous if a puppy were to drink them. |

| If you want to carry your bulldog puppy you will need to hold the puppy to your chest by placing one of your hands in between the puppy's front legs and the other in between the posterior legs, so that you are holding the pup under its tummy. Don't attempt to grab him by the coat on his neck. To put your puppy back down on the floor, gently place him back on the floor; don't just let him jump out of your arms.Children should not be allowed to carry a puppy until they are taught how, and when they do, they must always be supervised. Let the children in the house know also that they are not to pull the puppy's ears or tail; doing this can cause the puppy to get inflammations or infections. Make sure to always take care of your puppy's head because their heads are very sensitive. Always make sure to watch out of sharp corners, door and furniture that could cause the puppy to get hurt. Remember puppies are very curious and they try to get into everything. A puppy's skull is very vulnerable and delicate during the first sixty days of life (this is also why it is not recommended that children carry puppies as they could drop them). One fall could put the puppy's life at risk. Make sure also to be careful when closing doors behind you that the puppy is not following too closely behind since they have a tendency to follow their new paretns everywhere.

| The english bulldog puppy and the "first night home drama", the crying and howling, may be greatly reduced by first taking some precautions. In first place, we can take his pen to our room, so he won't feel alone. Calming words and pets are allowed, but don't allow him/her to jump into your bed. Coherence is fundamental for a good owner, and once authorized it lasts forever. As small puppies owners usually fall in this temptation allowing them to sleep at their beds. It starts when they are puppies, and normally continues when they are adults. And, if the dog is clean, why not? In any case, this use should not produce psychological harm to the dog. Therefore, don't let them to get beneath the blankets, or very close to the owner's face (overprotection problems could arise), and by no means can we allow him/her to be the lord of our bed. The dog's owner must be sure he can make the dog go down when he wants, and to go to his place. If not there could be a "separation anxiety" problem that produces aggressive or destructive behaviors when the animal is alone, or he cannot make the bed his property. |
