#18: Bulldogs

Price: $2,000

Bulldogs, initially bred in England for the now-outlawed sport of bull-baiting, are muscular dogs with a short coat and a distinctive wrinkled face. While their history reflects a fierce and tenacious nature, modern Bulldogs are known for their affectionate, loyal, and gentle demeanor.

Their courage remains a hallmark of the breed, making them steadfast companions. Despite their stubborn tendencies, they are deeply devoted to their families. Bulldogs require regular, moderate exercise and thrive in cooler living conditions due to their sensitivity to heat.
