Temperament	Bulldogs should have very kind dispositions.  They should be resolute and courageous.  In no way should they be aggressive.  They also have a dignified way about them.	Larry is an extremely sweet dog.  It is not the typical couch potatoe one usually finds in a bulldog, but he is only 2 years old, and his best friend is an active dachshund.  He is a very regal animal, and we are his servants (so he thinks).  He may be able to tear your arm off, but he has no intention of doing so.  When he runs towards you at full speed, he just wants to lick you.
