Hip Dysplasia

Like all bulldog breeds, the Mini Bulldog is also prone to acquiring this condition. This disease occurs when the femur or thighbone is dislocated from the hip socket. It results in lameness and limited movement of the hind legs. It is very important to manage the Mini Bulldog’s weight because of this. This breed is known to quickly pack a few pounds in a short amount of time so making sure NOT feeding them extremely high carbohydrates and fat foods is necessary. Daily exercise should be done as well such as walks to burn excess calories. Feeding them several, small meals through out the day rather than one big meal would also help in managing their weight.

Heat Sensitivity

Mini bulldogs are prone to overheating because of their short face causing obstructed airways. They must be given plenty of water and shade. Keeping them in standing heat should be avoided as much as possible especially during summer months. If kept indoors, make sure that the area is properly ventilated.

Breathing Problems

As mentioned previously, Mini Bulldogs are “brachycephalic” or short-faced making breathing issues recurrent. Some treat this problem through surgery but is not necessary in all instances. This can be addressed by regularly having the dog checked by the vet especially for respiratory infections. Avoid excessive panting and prolonged barking of your dog because both causes swelling of the larynx or voice box that may lead to respiratory distress. A way of clearing the Mini Bulldog’s throat would be squirting a small amount of lemon juice, which acts as a muculytic or mucus remover.

Remember, when it comes to buying a puppy, cheaper is most probably worse. Why would anyone pay thousands of dollars for a puppy if the same quality can be provided for just a few hundred? A puppy that sells for $200 will almost certainly get sick very soon after purchase, or is sick already. The vaccinations and registration documents are probably missing and they are probably poorly socialized puppies, which means that your children are in for some unpleasant surprises, possibly a dog bite. The odd exception that proves the rule is when a reputable breeder needs to sell a litter quickly for some reason.

In Middle Eastern countries, where the supply of well-bred puppies is quite low, buying online is almost the only option. But please be very careful when buying a puppy online and if you are not 100% sure that the seller is legitimate and the puppy is healthy, go to Euro Puppy, who specialize in offering puppies for sale to Kuwait and other Middle Eastern countries.

However, bringing a dog into the family is not always a smart thing to do. You need to make sure that both the children and the adult members of the family are ready for a furry friend, otherwise someone is likely to get disappointed over time. You also need to make sure that you are selecting the right breed and you are treating your dog in a way that guarantees your children’s safety.

I can stand – I just don’t want to…
