The Chicago English Bulldog Meetup Group

Welcome to The Chicago English Bulldog Meetup Group where awesome smoosh face monsters (and their Moms and Dads) unite to share their love and interest in this great breed!

At nearly 1,400 members that literally circle the globe, we are the largest English Bulldog Meetup Group in the US and within the worldwide Meetup network. Our knowledgable members interact through our Message Board sharing wonderful stories and valuable health and behavioral information about owning and caring for an English Bulldog.

If you live within driving distance of Chicago, we would love to have you and your bully attend one of our "live" Meetup events. These fantastic two hours of fun, play and socializing are held on the third weekend of every month and are attended by our members from Chicago, the Chicagoland suburbs and all of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. They're a great time and a perfect way to meet new friends that share your passion for these incredible dogs!

We're glad you are here and hope you enjoy the group!

"Welcome to the world of bulldogs! They do shed a lot! I don't know if anything really can stop it, but I've had some luck with salmon oil or coconut oil. Brushing is key, but I wouldn't use the furminator daily...."
