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.
