Sorry I'm weighing in on this so late, but thought I'd post anyway.
I've had an English Bulldog for the past six and a half years. He's my shadow. Considering I work from home he's ideal. HOWEVER, bulldogs are prone to OCD as well as many other congenital disorders, many of which you can't spot or rely on a breeder to disclose. Everybody likes to believe that theirs is a reputable breeder, but the truth is, no matter how much you think you've researched, any breeder could be disreputable and hide it easily enough. Turkish, my dog, has OCD and is medicated for it. While this sounds amusing, I can assure you its anything but funny. Sometimes his episodes can result in truly dangerous situations, and there has been more than a few occasions that I've thought I'd have to put him down, one occasion I'd have done it myself if I'd had a gun handy. Turk is part of the family, and I love him dearly, but I'm also aware that the day may come that I have to have him euthanized for safety sake. I've consulted with the AKC, The Bulldog Rescue Association, and vets, and unfortunately, this is a relatively common disorder for bullies. Would I own a bulldog again? Absolutely, they're wonderful animals and great companions, but you should know what you're getting into if you take one into your home, and some things simply aren't chronicled in breed books.
Good luck in your search!
