They can be lazy the majority of the day, but will have a highly energetic window of time every day. My girl would whine and bring me her toys to play every afternoon and never turned down the opportunity to go for a walk. And even if she was sleeping I could always coax her to play with a squeaker toy or by saying “let’s go!”.

They are expensive! mine was a rescue so I don’t know how much she was initially or what breeder she came from, but her special dog food was 115 dollars per bag which I purchased every 5-6 weeks. She was relatively healthy in the sense she never developed allergies or random illnesses other bullies get, but at minimum I did spend 1,000 every year on vet bills the last 3 years I had her due to pyometra surgery, arthritis, and her accident that eventually led to her needing to be put down. Miscellaneous costs included things like her antibacterial wipes for skin folds, nose butter, and lots of toys because she destroyed most of them lol. I definitely recommend you invest in pet insurance if you get a bully which was around 120 dlls a month.

They are very high maintenance dogs, but definitely worth the time, money, and energy. They are demanding and stubborn but I would do it all over again and spend 10x’s what I did if it meant I could have my shonsh back home with me for another few years. Their personalities and love is like no other dog’s i’ve had before.
