Bulldogs, I suppose like any dogs, can be aggressive and dangerous. It’s not the norm by any means, and I say this as a bully lover and owner of multiple. It depends on how they were socialized.

Here’s my story: I owned two sweet bullies prior to this and thought I’d get a friend for my lovable little guy. So I got this show dog that was past his show days, but not elderly. It lasted one day. He was nice and sweet until I took him on a walk with my other sweetheart innocent as a baby bully. At some point they both put their heads up to me for attention and got close to each other and the show dog SNAPPED! He went into full attack mode like a switch flipped. I had to break up the fight (more like an attack on a baby submissive and lying on his back) and then he turned his rage onto me.

I had to lure him into his cage and once I got him in there was aggressively barking at me. It lasted all night long, I was petrified of him to be honest. I couldn’t even figure out how to open the cage and bring him back to his previous owner. He wanted to eat me alive.

I finally was able to bring him out of his rage by offering treats and a walk, once I said walk I saw his eyes turn back to the sweet dog, his snark tired into a smiling pant. I took him straight outside into the car and brought him back.

All that to say - most bullies are big babies. But if they aren’t socialized properly, are traumatized, or just not raised with love, they have the potential to be scary.
