Bulldog
Unfortunately, the Bulldog was originally bred to drive cattle to market, as well as to compete in an extremely aggressive sport called bullbaiting, but luckily, they are now gentle companions that can be your children’s friends for life.
First and foremost, if you want to adopt a Bulldog, try to check your local animal shelter, because even though they are purebred dogs, many people abandon them. Hence, try to save a life by adopting one, instead of buying one.
Moreover, they can sometimes be lazy and tend to eat a lot of food, so try to take them for a walk every day to prevent obesity. Before adopting a Bulldog, know that they can’t tolerate heat and humidity, so take them indoors if they show signs of overheating.

Thank you for all this information. Keep writing about different types of dogs and their personalities. Keeping people informed before they adopt or buy a pet. I really enjoyed reading this.
You left out husky and Alaskan malamute.
You left out the Japanese Chin.
The sharpei is not a good family breed dog or dog for most people. It was bred to fight and retains that aggression. Training cannot override centuries of breeding for fighting and it’s a liability to attack people or other animals without warning. My neighbor’s sheep were disemboweled by a sharpie that jumped their fence and attached them. Chow is another with too much selection for aggression in the blood. These are both on the uninsurable list for homeowner’s insurance for a reason.
I’m surprised Boston Terrier is not on this list. My Boston Terrier will only bark when told to.
