How can you tell if a puppy is a bulldog or a pitbull? Dog Breed Discussions
Ok maybe the only actual bulldog breeder on here should answer this question. Bulldogs DO have tails, they either have a preferred small straight tail or a small corkscrew button tail, some bulldogs have such a small tail that it just looks like a tuff of hair. Bulldogs really don't have that droopy of jowls not compared to mastiffs. They do not have pointy ears though, bulldogs are suppose to have rose ears. I really would have to see a pic of the pup to determine what you are really getting cause you are either getting an APBT or you are getting a really poorly bred bulldog. Bulldog puppies are short and they are pudgy, but that is just baby fat, they lose that and when they grow they gain a pear shape. There ARE also two head styles in the breed, an americanized head is more of a brick shaped head, the true english head is wedge shaped. I myself have a few of both types.Here is a proper bulldog puppy-http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj224/shinosgirl18/ftl.jpgobviously it is the smaller dog, not the frenchie. As you can see she very much has a tail. The ears were not glued yet so she still has the button ears in this pictureHere is the proper ear set on another bulldog puppyhttp://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj224/shinosgirl18/download-1-1.jpgHere is a proper APBT puppy-http://d988256.u38.infinology.net/images/casper12212005%20012.jpgObviously without the cropped ears Now that I think about it what you are probably getting is an ugly american bully mutt puppy or like I said just a really poorly bred bulldog or a bulldog mutt like the olde english bulldogge IS.
