Some will be ready to defend the persons and territory they have under their custody, without any special training, while others will remain eternal, happy-go-lucky, positive thinkers welcoming just any stranger into your house.
Add to that the fact that bulldogs mature very slowly and will remain very playfull, puppy-like and unpredictable untill well over the age of 24 months.
They are absolutely wonderful with children and elderly.
Bulldogs are also very sensitive to your moods and will be delighted for you when you are happy and will be still and compassionate when you grieve. As we said, they are true companions in every sense of the word.
Part of their charm is that they look so tough but aren't at all.
Nevertheless, most Bulldogs are brave to the extreme and will guard and defend their owner if they think he/she is being threatened. Bulldogs are conscious of their own force and are therefore very self-assured. However, they ponder their decisions and evaluate each situation in order to act in the most appropriate way.

The idea that bulldogs are lazy or indolent probably developed because of some hypertypical specimens who, because of their exaggerated features, had their movements seriously hindered.
However, these are exceptions and renowned breeders take great care in breeding healthy specimens.
