Understanding the meaning of Bulldog weight and bulldog size
The bulldog is a domestic dog and the latin name of english bulldog is canis familiaris. I consider that during the dog shows the search of a specimen, English Bulldog of Standard Weight and size around 50/55 pounds, 22,5kg./25kg., mostly in bulldog males
could be in contrast with the evolution of bulldog breeds and genome sizes of the ancestral ancestors, as the working english bulldog carried to u.s.a. southern regions during the colonial period. When, during the International Dog Show in Milan 2004, Special Show for Bulldog,
I won both the best couple that with the best group of English Bulldogs, I said to expert judge,
whom I thank, Polly weighed exactly 22.7 kg ., 50 pounds, he said: "So what?", because bulldog allows a wider variation in size and weight and the average bulldog weight chart may be not respected in front of a grand champions. In fact, according to statistics, the average weight
of English Bulldogs have to become champions of beauty in the dog shows ultimately exceeds 28 kg in europe,
but in the judgments of the Exhibition for the canine
breed English Bulldog is appeared, however, in recent months, the fateful phrase "Bulldog Standard Size".
As a result, lots of bloodlines, registered breeders or farms specialized in the selection of English Bulldog possess, at the time, samples
of beauty champions or promising young Bulldog becoming so obviously in error for wieght and size.
The English Bulldog is believed to have originated in the himalaya as a big asian molosser and, studying the history of the breed, I note that in 19th century was scheduled in the dog shows by weight categories starting up to 15 Kg, Toy Bulldogs.
The Bulldog Club Incorporated was born in 1875, just to prevent the essential trasformation in body type or size that was bringing the ideal full-size of English bulldog
from 30/50 pounds, 14/23 Kg, 1 pound = 453.6 g., until 100/120 pounds, 45/55 Kg.

During the growth the weight and size progress and individual variations in buldog pupies may be caused by previous caesarean section respect to a natural delivery, the artificial feeding or early breast removal from mother feeding or from the litter respect to a natural growth with
the brothers. The nutrition may be insufficient or excessive. The weight is changing also for genetic predisposition to eating disorders as the elongated soft palate or metabolic desease, hereditary joint defect or neuromuscular illnesses, working activity as guardian dog or hill bulldog, field bulldog or country Bulldog respect to a domestic dog with sedentary lifestyle, a snoring and sleeping animal, not prone to exercise, living in the building centers of N.Y., Dallas, Chicago or L.A.

It is enough don't ask to the bulldog breeders the daily diet and a bulldog’s weight chart of his bloodline animals with daily nutrition to bo not anymore assured that the puppy will continue to grow and gain size and weight correctly. If you are not an experienced handler the growth and the diet to balance the rapid muscolar growth with the slower bones growth of the molosser breeds as english bulldog may be a riddle or a puzzle. It is a difficult enigma for new dog owners to learn how the bulldog puppy gain or lose weight.
This genetic or environmental factors cause a wide variation in size and weight of this creatures also inside the same breed. A wide variation in size and weight is also ascertainable studying the bulldog breeds as american bulldog and french bulldog or different bulldog types

Studying the world literature on the characteristics variation of size of the English Bulldog breeds, we can, among others, note that no author describes the real advantages possessed by an English Bulldog of 25 kg, 55 lbs, compared to an English Bulldog of 20 kg or compared to a Bulldog English of 30 kg. It is true that for bull baiting or dog baiting the prefered weight of fighting dogs is still today that one of 55lbs, for instance the pit bull weight.
Actually many authors point out that the weight is the characteristic described in the English Bulldog breed standard that is ever less respected. It follows that only in case of clear Morphological parity is preferred the English Bulldog of 25 kg, 55lbs. So it seems, in my opinion, plausible that, in response to a study on english bulldog breeding or demonstrable morphological reasons or veterinary health care discovers occurred recently this sudden emphasis on weight of the last dog shows in italy respect to other physical characteristics for sure not less importants as the body proportions, the head, the trunk, the limbs, do not appear totally justified and someone may suppose that is only a pretext of large farms, exporters or importers to safeguard their personal interests striking the well proportioned bulldogs.
