Bulldogs cannot exercise a lot because that can be hard on their breathing. And if you have a swimming pool or a pond, please keep your Bulldog away from it because his oversized-head and torso make it hard to stay above water.

And he appreciates a leisurely, relaxed lifestyle. This is not a dog to take jogging or running with you, or participate in water sports with the family.
