Useful information: The Bulldog, with its very short head can develop breathing problems. It is also a drooler especially when excited. If the drooling is excessive your vet can do something to reduce it. Go easy on grooming. However, the folds in the skin, especially those of the cushion (the fold of skin over the nose), must be examined regularly for parasites.
