He should`nt be struggling , unless he is 1) unfit 2) has other problems.

A healthy bulldog should be capable of doing a 20 mild walk.

Do you know much about him, and his health and exercise routine.

I think he is just unfit.

From what I can gather from his owner, he only get 10 maybe 15 minutes a day. Some days none at all.

I really want to have him but it is at the wrong time of my life as I moved a year ago and still doing work around the house and the land with the help of the dogs!

He seem to be overweight but I might be wrong. I will take photos next time I see him - I forgot to!

I know someone with a bulldog and she's as lively and active as my lot.

If he's just unfit, you could work on his fitness. If during the trial he fits in with your other dogs, why not walk him separately to begin with and work that way with him, building endurance before the hottest months of the year.

If he hates teh heat and you're out during the summer in the daytime anyway he'll most likely just sleep his way through the hot days. you can exercise him during the cooler evenings, by which time he'll be alot fitter if you decide to take him on.

Otherwise, why not let him have the choice as you do your old boy?

My daughter in laws mum has a British Bulldog. Beautiful dog. I think he's about 4 now.

Last vet visit she was told not to let him upstairs, as the weight on his heart on the way down could do him some damage.

He knocks my daughter off her feet when she goes to the house. He is soooooo boisterous.
