In the US, the legality of docking a dog's tail varies by state. Some states have banned tail docking while others allow it for certain breeds or reasons. It is recommended to check the specific laws in your state regarding tail docking before deciding to proceed with the procedure.

Yes Bulldogs are good dogs. I have a bulldog at home and my little sister ( 3 or 4 years old) is with us. He never bites, growles or anything to her. Even if she pulls his tail, or hits him. That's why bulldos are good dogs for kids to have.
