You'll be sinking a lot of $ on a bulldog. I've heard they are sickly, have breathing problems, get stinky really fast, etc. A friend of a friend of mine had one and in a span of 2-3 years I think he/she spent close to $4k on medicine and operations.

On the other hand, some bulldog owners I've known have had their bulldogs live up to 10 years without experiencing many complications or problems. I guess these are the lucky ones.
