Having lost our last Bulldog Ned in July.

I decided to get a couple of puppies to help ease the pain and fill that gap that inevitably he left.

Welcome Oscar and Abel!

They have settled in remarkably well! Only 9weeks old and love a cuddle!

We are slightly concerned about littermate syndrome so debating separate crates for nighttime’s…

They look lovely. I’ve always had a hankering for an English bulldog but too scared of being heartbroken by their health issues.

We meet one occasionally on our walks, he is so full of character he’s just lovely. Stubborn though, and not an enthusiastic walker. Last time we saw him on talking to his owner she looked at her phone and said they had been walking for 38 mins and hadn’t yet gone 1 km smile

Beautiful babies!!!! I foster English Bulldogs for a charity. I would have separate crates and food areas if possible. Just keep with general training like lifting food bowls so that they keep in mind that you're the alpha and toy removal etc.

Wonderful puppies!

Would different crates at night help with litter mate syndrome? I thought it was more to do with how they interact with anyone else and one relying on the other?

Nute, look at one of the rescues. They will be fully healthy tested and if there are any issues then you will be made fully aware. They will be neutered and vaccinated too and usually offer full rescue back up for the life of the dog. Or at least ours does. We foster in homes, not kennels, so you have one that's fully integrated into house and life in general and usually trained in basic commands. I say usually trained as once you know the breed, you understand that they are stubborn as can be... although I've never had such a loving breed and one that makes me laugh so much. As for walking my last foster was hugely fast and could go for miles. Previous one would find rolling off the sofa too much effort!

Separate crates help them to not be reliant on the other one. Sleep separately, eat separately etc, can stop one bullying the other as well.
