The English bulldog is a short, wide, muscular dog with a very distinctive appearance. English bulldogs have thick folds of skin on their foreheads, wide-set eyes, and a short muzzle with characteristic folds called “rope” above the nose. The skin under their necks hangs and they have drooping lips and an under bite. Bulldogs are one of very few breeds whose tail is naturally short and curled.

Average Size:

  • 12-16 inches tall
  • 45-55 pounds

The English bulldog has a short, smooth and glossy coat that can vary in both color and pattern. Common Bulldog Colors (from lightest to darkest):

  • White
  • Fallow – pale cream to light fawn
  • Pale Yellow – pale yellow, blond or wheat
  • Fawn – brown with a red, yellow or grayish blue hue
  • Red – reminiscent of reddish woods, such as cherry or mahogany
  • Black

Common Bulldog Patterns:

  • Brindle – a subtle striped pattern in which the stripes of color are usually darker than the base coat
  • Piebald – an irregular spotting pattern that’s usually a mix of white and one other color
  • Sable – describes a coat that has black-tipped hairs on a lighter background; sable dogs usually have black masks
