Dogs are man’s best friend and they give you unconditional love. But there is one issue that has been brought up about whether English Bulldogs should wear cold weather clothes. Sometimes it’s not just because this will protect your beloved companion from getting too cold, but it is because of the way we perceive their breed.
Dogs are categorized by a few different groups. There are the “working breeds,” which includes herding dogs like Border Collies and Corgis. Then there are hunting breeds like pointers, retrievers, and setters. The last group is the “companion or pet breeds,” which includes all of the pampered pups that live in our homes today (Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and English Bulldogs).
There have been many debates on whether or not English Bulldogs should wear clothes in the wintertime to protect them from shivering. Before pawing our way through the details, lets cover actually what is an English Bulldog?

What Makes an English Bulldog?

Bulldogs are known for their friendly nature and great sense of humor, which makes them perfect companions for kids and families. They have an amazing personality that soaks into their owners’ arms as soon as they come home from work or school. They are also extremely intelligent, making them very trainable animals with a surprising amount of energy.
But beyond all these great qualities, Bulldogs are known for their notorious stubbornness and fearless attitude when it comes to protecting themselves from predators. This is why Bulldogs were bred to fight bulls in arenas in England prior to being popularized in the United States. The dogs would take on multiple large bulls at once and win by biting off one of the bull’s horns or breaking its neck, which was an easy task due to their muscular build and tough skin.
Many pet lovers will say there is no need for them to wear a jacket because they are able to regulate their own body temperature by moving around more.
