Continental Bulldog

Genetic Predispositions and Health

Due to their relatively recent development and the breed's specific aim at healthier conformation and physical traits, the Continental Bulldog is expected to have fewer health issues compared to their English Bulldog counterparts. It's important to note, however, that each dog is an individual and can still potentially suffer from a variety of health issues common among large dog breeds. However, other Bulldog breeds can suffer from neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL-10), dermatological conditions such as ichthyosis, eye disorders, and hip and elbow dysplasia.

Personality and Behavior

The Continental Bulldog is known to be friendly, calm, and good-natured. These dogs are loyal and form strong bonds with their human families. They can be somewhat independent and stubborn at times, but they are generally eager to please. They are sociable and typically get along well with other dogs and animals, given proper socialization. They are also known to be good with children.

Fun Facts

The Continental Bulldog became an official breed with the Swiss Kennel Club (SKC) on September 14, 2004. Around three months later on December 5, 2004, the Continental Bulldog Club of Switzerland was created.
