Males can grow as large as 50 pounds, while females stay around the 40 pound mark. Please be aware that this breed can grow much bigger. They are normally, quiet but when this breed barks it does so loudly! One of the main complaints about Bulldogs is stubbornness. The breed does have a  tendency to be harder to train because of its unusual desire not to exercise. Bulldogs would prefer relaxing at home than taking a long walk.
