Size & Activity Level
The Victorian Bulldog will range in size from 55-80 pounds when mature. The Vic is an indoor dog who is happy to chill on the couch but needs daily walks and playtime to keep in shape.
Care & Grooming
Victorian Bulldogs are short-haired average shedders. Brush them once or twice weekly, and bathe only as needed. Those cute wrinkled faces need maintenance with attention paid to keeping the folds clean. Vics with very short muzzles will have difficulty in temperature extremes, so keep them comfortable to avoid heat stroke. They will also appreciate a sweater or coat in colder weather.
