A healthy English Bulldog is a happy English Bulldog.
Bulldogs don't need much exercise and do best in cooler environments – heat and intense activity are genuine risks given their short muzzles. Their wrinkles need regular cleaning to prevent skin infections, and their easygoing nature makes them a great fit for apartments. They can be stubborn, so patient, reward-based training works best.

Not especially, though expect plenty of snoring, snorting, and the occasional dramatic sigh.
