Bulldog Puppy: At What Age Do You Bring Home A Bulldog Puppy?
The best age range to bring home a bulldog puppy is commonly thought to be 6 to 8 weeks of age. But a lot of breeders believe 9 weeks to be best. With a puppy in this age range there will be a need for frequent rest periods, mainly in the afternoon, with some in the morning.
When you first get your new puppy it is often a fun and exciting time. But someday this puppy will be all grown up and will have to follow the rules of the house. You have a long way to go before a well trained Bulldog develops from that playful new puppy.
Bulldog Puppies Take A Lot Of Work
It is normal for most puppies and owners to experience some difficulties within the first few days. Puppies are suddenly removed from their litter and must now face the world with a human family.
When your puppy first arrives at his new house he might be very eager to explore anything and everything for several days while he adjusts. Don’t worry, this will pass and as long your puppy isn’t in harm’s way or hurting anything then let them explore.
The 8-Week Old Puppy
If you have brought home a puppy that is 8 weeks of age then beware from the start. This pup is at a stage that is called the fear stage. Thus anything that is heard by the puppy or done to this puppy could cause fear that lasts a long time and takes a while for him to grow out of. So you will have to be more patient during this age and let your new bulldog puppy take the time needed to explore and adjust.
The 10-Week Old Puppy
For a puppy that is 10 weeks of age or older, you have a puppy that will play more and sleep less. But the positive aspect of this is you can more easily get your bulldog puppy to stick with you and keep his attention on you for both play time and training sessions.
