Showing Bulldogs

Showing dogs has become a fascination for thousands of dog owners throughout this country and overseas.

We first started by attending Ringcraft which is really helpful for both handler and dog, and a great deal can be learnt. You can contact the Kennel Club direct to find your nearest Ringcraft/Dog Training Club. Every dog has a different characteristic and hence has to be handled in a different way. But also knowing your dogs' character is not only needed for handling and showing, but for creating a bond between owner and dog. Without this bond you can't tell when your dog is unhappy, distressed or just simply ill.

There are many useful resources which can help you understand your dog and help you to over come problems in every day living and in the show ring, we've found many books to be a good resource and recommend some on the breed information page, you can buy The Pet Owners Guide to the Bulldog by Judith Daws online @ WH Smiths.

Joining Breed clubs are also a good step to understanding and finding out about the breed, we belong to just a few, London Bulldog Society and Bulldog Club Inc, though no doubt there is one within your county, and you can find out by viewing our Breed Club page.
