Support and Health
How much training will I need?
Can I be left alone?
We are unsure if he has ever been left in a home before, we feel he has the potential to do a few hours at home alone in the future, but will need a initial settling in period.
Do I have any medical conditions?
Benson has historic medical conditions, namely Brachycephalic airway obstruction syndrome ( BOAS ) Grade 2, has a corkscrew tail and has previously had some conjunctivitis that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed.
Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome him and you are a successful match.
We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home.
Who I can live with
Can I live with dogs?
Can I live with cats?
Can I live with small pets?
Additional information
We feel Benson would be best as the only dog in the home currently. This could change in the future after he is castrated as he is currently just too over the top with other dogs.
Sadly currently the other dogs are wary of his bulldozer bulldog ways.
Family and environment
What kind of family am I looking for?
Benson can live in a home with children over 13 years old.
What type of environment would suit me?
Although Benson does love to play, we do not feel that it is essential that Benson has his own garden, as long as he gets regular toilet walks and exercise.
About Benson
Meet Benson – the fun-loving, toy-toting Bulldog with a big heart and even bigger personality!
Benson is an adventurous boy who brings laughter wherever he goes. Whether he’s showing off his goofy side or leaning in for one of his signature butt rubs, he knows how to win hearts fast.
He’s a self-entertaining pup—as long as there’s a good stash of toys nearby, Benson will happily keep himself busy. In fact, don’t be surprised to see him proudly trotting down the street with a favorite toy in tow on his walks!
This charming Bulldog is a total foodie and always eager to please, making him a great candidate for training sessions (especially if snacks are involved). He’s social and enjoys meeting other dogs, though he can be a little extra with his enthusiasm at times.
If you’re looking for a loyal, comical companion with a whole lot of love to give, Benson might just be your guy.
Things to note
Breeds like this Bulldogs have extreme conformation, meaning that their body features are exaggerated. This can include having shorter legs or a flat face and shorter nose (brachycephalic).
Why these features can be a problem?
These characteristics can negatively affect their health and welfare. For example, dogs with shorter legs may be more likely to experience serious back issues and animals with flattened faces may find it difficult to breathe and struggle in the heat. Whilst not every dog will suffer these problems, it’s important to stop and think before adopting or buying one.
Due to these health issues regularly affecting certain breeds, you may face higher insurance and veterinary costs even if your pet is unaffected. See here for more information
What to do before getting one
If you’re thinking about welcoming this type of dog to your family, we recommend you do your homework to ensure you’re prepared.
If you are rehoming from a charity like Woodgreen, our veterinary team always give all pets a health check and you will be told about any health problems we identify. Our expert team will be happy to talk to you if you have any questions about the care Benson might need
