In 2018, there was a frightening dog injury incident in Canada, a dog owner and her Xishi dog were walking on the road, and suddenly two dogs rushed out, and without saying hello, they bit the Xishi dog, even the owner of the Xishi dog did not let go. Then their owners brought three other dogs to stop them, but they didn't expect that the five dogs would attack their owners together! Rescuers eventually arrived, but the Sidder died and the two owners were seriously injured. And these five dogs are bulldogs. Is this dog really so dangerous? Should we have bulldogs?

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > ii. The history of the bulldog</h1>
In the mid-1800s, people began breeding bulldogs. At that time, people needed a kind of dog to protect themselves and subdue poachers. People think that although the bulldog is fierce, it is too small to beat humans, and the mastiff is too large but too slow, so the two kinds of dogs are cross-bred. Bulldogs have the ferocity, strength and speed of a bulldog, as long as the owner gives an order, they can immediately attack and subdue the prey or thief.
Until now, untrained bulldogs are still aggressive, but when well cared for, most dogs are energetic, affectionate, loyal to their owners, and are excellent guardian dogs and family companions.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, bulldogs are good to keep? </h1>
It is undeniable that the bulldog may indeed be aggressive, but in fact, no matter what kind of dog, there is a possibility of hurting people. As long as the owner is willing to train patiently, the bulldog can also become a cute domestic dog. Adult bulldogs are muscular and strong, and they may chase small animals or small dogs, just like the five bulldogs in the beginning. Therefore, the owner takes the dog out for a walk, be sure to put a leash on them, it is likely that if they do not pay attention, they will break free of the shackles and run away. At the same time, the owner can train and socialize more when the dog is small, so that they can adapt to children and small dogs.
In addition to training, the daily care of the bulldog is also an important thing to pay attention to. This kind of dog skin will have folds, and the owner usually needs to clean it frequently to avoid the proliferation of bacteria and fungi. Moreover, the bulldog has a short kiss, so it is not suitable for strenuous exercise, and in the summer, the owner is also better off taking it to a cool place. Not only that, but the bulldog often drools, and the owner may have to bring a towel with him when he takes him out, so as not to make the hair wet and sticky.
In general, as long as the dog can be patiently trained and cared for by the owner, they will also become a cute family companion. However, the bulldog is indeed not the most suitable family dog, and the first-tier cities in our country also list it as a forbidden dog. If the owner can't control it, the dog may also run wild like the five bulldogs above and eventually have to be euthanized. Would you dare to keep a bulldog if you had the chance?
