He is a 2.5-year-old Tyme Bulldog and a true big pudding — soft, loving, and full of affection. He genuinely doesn’t have a bad bone in his body and just wants to be everyone’s friend.

Chicco has been brought up around children and could happily live with children aged 8 years and over. He also seems fine with other dogs and enjoys their company.

Despite being a big lad, Chicco walks relatively well on the lead and is very manageable. He absolutely loves his walks and gets wonderfully giddy when it’s time to head out. Like many bulldog types, he will need his stamina gradually built up, as he can run out of puff fairly quickly.

Chicco loves his toys, but his favourite thing of all is people. He thrives on attention and affection and will constantly look back at you on walks with his cheeky, giddy little face, just to make sure he’s still got your attention.

If you’re after a lovable, people-obsessed companion with a heart of gold, Chicco could be the perfect addition to your family. 

As a bulldog type, Chicco has a shorter muzzle, which means he can be prone to breathing difficulties. It’s important to be mindful of this, particularly in warm weather, during exercise, or if he becomes overexcited. Walks should be kept to cooler times of day, with plenty of opportunities for rest and access to fresh water. Chicco may snort, snuffle, or tire more quickly than longer-nosed breeds, which is normal for bulldogs, but care should always be taken to avoid overexertion and overheating. With sensible management and a watchful eye, bulldogs like Chicco can live happy, comfortable lives.
