Start giving your English Bulldog pieces of ice to eat when he is still a small puppy so that he learns to like it. Luckily, most Bulldogs do. This is a great way to cool down a hot dog. Blocks of ice make a great summer time toy. A pan of ice in or on top of his crate helps keep him cool.

The Bulldog, sometimes referred to as the "English Bulldog", is believed to have evolved from the Molossian dog first brought to Britain by Phoenician traders in the 6thcentury BC. Because of their courage and apparent ability to endure pain, the breed was exploited in the sports of bull baiting, bear baiting and dog fighting. When bull baiting was made illegal in England in 1835 and eventually dog fighting was prohibited, the breed began to decline in numbers. Fortunately, with the beginning of the dog show era, the breed was saved by a group of fanciers determined to preserve the characteristics of the breed and eliminate all fighting and viciousness.

The English Bulldog is an AKC and FCI recognized dog breed, classified in the Molosser Group, or the Non-Sporting Group. The perfect Bulldog must be of medium size and smooth coat; with heavy, thickset, low-swung body, massive short-faced head, wide shoulders and sturdy limbs. The general appearance and attitude should suggest great stability, vigor and strength. The disposition should be equitable and kind, resolute and courageous (not vicious or aggressive), and demeanor should be pacific and dignified. These attributes should be countenanced by the expression and behavior.

The English Bulldog's coat is smooth, fine, shorthaired and easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush, and bathe only when necessary. Skin is soft and loose, especially at the head and shoulders, forming wrinkles. They are medium size dogs, their weight generally not exceeding 50 pounds. You will need to wipe their face with a damp cloth every day to clean inside the wrinkles.

The Old English Bulldog was compact, broad and muscular as reflected in the well-known depiction Crib and Rosa. The average height was approximately 15 inches and they weighed about 45 pounds. A particular characteristic of the breed was the lower jaw that projected considerably in front of the upper jaw, which made possible a strong, vice-like grip. The nose was deeply set in the face, which allowed the dog to get enough air as it gripped the bull.
