Support and Health
How much training will I need?
Can I be left alone?
As he was a stray, we do not know if Governor has been left home alone before. Home alone time will need building up gradually, at a pace he is comfortable with.
Do I have any medical conditions?
This pet has medical concerns, namely intermittent cherry eye, undershot jaw, abnormal tail confirmation and BOAS grade 1 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 this pet and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical concern, be that historic or ongoing, is discussed with your own vet prior to any book out appointment.
Who I can live with
Can I live with dogs?
Can I live with cats?
Can I live with small pets?
Additional information
Governor tends to ignore other dogs but when he does meet them, he can be quite intense so he is looking to be the only dog in the home.
Family and environment
What kind of family am I looking for?
True to his breed, Governor can be a bull in a china shop so would be best with children aged 11+ who don’t mind being barged out of the way occasionally!
What type of environment would suit me?
As he cannot be let off lead in public spaces, a private, secure garden is a must.
About Governor Thropp
If you’re looking for a dog who can make you laugh every single day, look no further than Governor! This handsome bulldog may have a name fit for royalty but don’t let that fool you—he’s the class clown through and through.
Governor is your classic bulldog: clumsy, bouncy, full of enthusiasm and always ready to turn an ordinary moment into a comedy show. Whether he’s trotting proudly with his favorite toy, sliding across the floor during playtime or giving you that irresistible goofy grin, he’s guaranteed to bring endless joy to his new home.
He’s a fun-loving, energetic boy who thrives on attention, activity and affection. Governor is looking for a family who can keep up with his silly antics and shower him with love (and maybe a few treats).
Things to note
Breeds like this British Bulldog 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
