I have a bulldog that is approaching the age of five. I have heard most do not live much longer than 8, and was wondering for those of you that have had bulldogs or know someone who has about how long they lived?

The average lifespan is between 8-10 years. I know people however that have Bulldogs that are 12 and 13 and still as healthy as can be.

the average lifespan for a bulldog is between 8-10 years. Sometimes they will live until they are 12. I know this because i am an expert on dogs and animals.

Bulldogs life span is suppose to be 8-10 years. My vet says it's 7 but that she has seen a few live up to a few years longer depending alot on the health check ups that's needed. Keep your dog up to date on vaccines and regular check ups may help your dog live a longer healthy life. Boxers are prone to certain diseases so keep your dog healthy by having the vet check him or her when it's needed. Good Luck!

8-10 yrs
History & Origin
The English bulldog is the symbol of tenacity and stubborn determination. Centuries ago, the breed was called the “bandogge” since the dog spent much of its time bonded to or tied up with other dogs. The earliest reference to “bulldog” was found in literature in 1609.
The bulldog was originally kept as a butcher’s dog to control unruly oxen. It was also used as a guard dog, hunting dog and most commonly for the sport of baiting. This blood sport is now considered cruel and inhumane but in the early 13th century, it was quite popular. The sport involves tethering the “bait,” a bull, bear, horse, ape or lion, and the dogs were sent in to attack the animal and try to overpower it. One of the more common baits was the bull. The bulldog was commonly used to fight the bull, thus resulting in their name. The bulldog would grasp the fleshy nose of the bull and pin it to the ground. Bull baiting continued for centuries until outlawed in 1835.

Their average life expectancy is 8 years old but some, not many, do live to be 10 years or older.
Make sure you get your dog to the vet for regular check ups and only feed a high quality dog food, such as Innova.
