An all-new Dummies guide to an increasingly popular dog breed Bulldogs, also known as English Bulldogs, recently moved up from 16th to 14th in the American Kennel Club's breed rankings, with over 19,000 registered in 2004. This book delivers just what new Bulldog owners need to keep these affectionate, courageous dogs happy and healthy, covering feeding, grooming, supplies, and basic training. It provides in-depth coverage of Bulldog-specific health care issues, such the special care needed for their folds of skin, their vulnerability to the heat, and typical breeding challenges. The book also discusses other bulldog breeds, such as French Bulldogs (#49 in the AKC rankings) and American Bulldogs. Susan M. Ewing (Mesa, AZ) has been writing about dogs and other pets since 1964. She is a member of the Dog Writers Association of America and the treasurer of the Cat Writers Association.

 Great Educational Book! October 17, 2007
This book was very helpful with our new bulldogs. It shares their history, health, behavior, attitude- it covers everything! It even has helpful hints I wasn't expecting to find! I would recomend to any new bulldog owner or to someone who is interested in owning bulldogs.

 Review of Bulldogs For Dummies - 2007 March 15, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
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!
Good Book February 6, 2007

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.
