What British Bulldogs are like to live with

The Royal Kennel Club calls the breed simply the Bulldog, and describes it as "the iconic British breed symbolising the spirit of the country". Its breed page says the Bulldog "is a calm, affectionate breed that thrives on human company", with a temperament that is "typically gentle and good natured". It says Bulldogs can be strong willed and respond better to short, positive training than to firm correction.
