A health problem to be aware of in this breed of dog (as well as other breeds) is Canine hip dysplasia. This occurs when the femoral bone does not fit into the joint socket properly and this causes the dog pain when he is standing or walking. Bulldogs are also susceptible to heart murmurs so be sure you are dealing with a reputable breeder (one who certifies and gives their puppies health screenings) when looking for a pet.http://www.terrificpets.com/dog_breeds/american_bulldog.asp
