Potential to play |
Given its irritability to heat , the Bulldog should not be regularly taken out in very cool and hot conditions. But when the weather is nice, walks of a few tens of minutes will be of great benefit. But preferably, do not associate it with your jogging session , because its heart is too fragile for this kind of activity.
