Amiable, laid back, and devoted (sometimes to the point of being stubborn), the English bulldog personality makes it a true blue companion for busy families and flat dwellers alike. As it turns out, this breed doesn’t require quite as much exercise as many of your other favourite dog breeds—you’ll see what we mean below…
