I thought the book was just "okay." I was disapointed because it didnt seem to be specifically written about the English Bulldog breed - many comments were just general helpful hints on how to train dogs, etc with just a few known bulldog specific comments like how the breed is prone to overheat. I dont even think the writer, Susan Ewing has owned or does own an english bulldog - her credits read other breeds of dogs she has owned and english bulldog was not listed. I'd get another book or do research online. I've read several bulldog books and still found the best stuff on breeders' websites. Good luck!

I liked this book. It was easy to read and I went thru it quickly. I bought several bulldog books and although this wasn't my favorite one I did like the info in it. The dummy line of books are pretty good and this one is too.

As a breeder, I am frequently asked to recommend books about bulldogs. If you were only going to buy one book about the breed this is the one I recommend. During fifteen years of breeding I have purchased each new "guide" as they emerge and this by far covers in depth the little quirks and tricks to keeping your bully healthy and happy, including many that took me years to figure out! The familiar and user friendly "Dummies" format is easy to navigate and full of highlighted tidbits. A great investment for the bulldog owner, both new and experienced.

I really like the "Bulldogs for Dummies" book. I include a copy for each of my puppy purchasers in their take home kit. It contains a lot of important information in an easy to read format. I'm sure it becomes a valuable resource for these first time Bulldog owners.

My boyfriend and I purchased this book about a month before our first bulldog puppy. It was a great and easy read. Definitely helped in preparing for our little one. I would recommend it.

It's just like any other "for dummies" book. Helpful, to the point and very informational! It's a must read for anyone looking into getting a pet Bulldog

and this one is no different.
I bought this prior to getting my bulldog just to make sure I knew what I was doing and what to expect. I've referred back to this book many times in the first few months of getting my Bella.
Lots of information on potty training, what toys to get, how to take care of her tear stained fur, and how to train a little. I think I've got a well-rounded bully but she's so smart it was easy on my part:) She doesn't think she's a bulldog though. When we're at the park, she wants to run with the 'long-legs' and she tries to herd them. There's nothing in the book for this:)

This book is just what I needed! It is full very useful information that I didn't know I needed to know about bulldogs. Since they are a special breed, everyone should read a book like this!!

Don't let the title fool you. Bulldogs for Dummies is a must read for anyone thinking of buying a bulldog or a first time bulldog owner. Susan Ewing breaks the chapters up in easy to find sections so you can skip ahead or go back a few chapters if you must. She gives great tips on training, food, bulldog background, and most importantly grooming your bulldog and wrinkle care which is of significant importance in owning this breed of dog. Best part is she condenses all the information and gets to the point so it doesn't seem as if she is droning on and on.

This book mixes great content and tips with the quick reference layout for new bulldog owners. this was a great read prior to getting my bulldog and serves as a great reference for me now when I have questions.
