Bulldog owners are a particular kind of person. I say this with enormous affection, because I’ve met hundreds of them through PawPrintables and they are, without exception, completely and utterly besotted with an animal that snores like a chainsaw, refuses to walk uphill, and has a face that looks like it ran into a wall and decided to stay there.
They’re also incredibly difficult to buy gifts for — not because they’re fussy, but because they already own everything with a bulldog on it. They’ve done the Amazon search. They’ve browsed the garden centre gift section. They’ve got the cushion, the calendar, and the doormat. What they haven’t got, hopefully, is any of the stuff on this list.
These are our ten bestselling bulldog gifts, all designed in-house and printed in the UK. Some are funny. Some are beautiful. One involves a bulldog on the toilet. Let’s get into it.
1. British & Proud Bulldog Canvas
The British & Proud Bulldog Canvas is where it all started for us. A bulldog, the Union Jack, and an attitude that says “this is my house, my country, and my sofa, and I’m not moving from any of them.”
It’s 27x35cm, printed on premium canvas with a sawtooth hanger so it’s ready to go straight on the wall. £15.99. We’ve sold more of these than anything else, and the reviews consistently mention the same thing — it becomes a talking point. People walk into the room, see the bulldog, and comment on it. Every time.
One customer told us her husband mounted it above the fireplace and their actual bulldog now sits directly underneath it, as if guarding the portrait. Which is the most bulldog behaviour imaginable.
2. Patriotic Bulldog Mug – “My Home, My Country”
The Patriotic Bulldog Mug is the mug that bulldog owners reach for when they want their morning tea to feel like a national event. It features a proud bulldog alongside the Union Jack and the words “My Home, My Country” — which, let’s be honest, is exactly what your bulldog is thinking every time someone rings the doorbell.
£5.99, white ceramic, dishwasher safe, and one of our most gifted products. It’s a staple Father’s Day choice, a reliable birthday backup, and the kind of mug that somehow never ends up at the back of the cupboard. It sits at the front. Where it belongs.
3. Funny Bulldog on Scale Canvas
The Funny Bulldog on Scale canvas is for anyone who’s ever watched their bulldog step on the bathroom scales and thought “mate, those numbers are not going in the right direction.”
It’s a larger canvas at £28.99, and it’s one of the pieces that gets the biggest reaction when people see it in person. The expression on the bulldog’s face is everything — that mixture of defiance and mild concern that only a bulldog can pull off. It works in a bathroom, a hallway, or a kitchen, and it’s the kind of art that makes a house feel like it belongs to someone with a sense of humour.
4. Sneaky Bulldog with Cookies Canvas
The companion piece to the scale canvas — the Sneaky Bulldog with Cookies shows a bulldog who has definitely stolen something and is absolutely not sorry about it. £28.99 for another premium canvas that captures bulldog energy with pinpoint accuracy.
If you’ve ever left food unattended near a bulldog, you know this face. The guilty-but-not-really-guilty face. The “technically I haven’t eaten it yet so no crime has been committed” face. It’s brilliant.
5. Bulldog Toilet Reading Mug
I almost didn’t include this one because I wasn’t sure how to describe it in polite company. But the Bulldog Toilet Reading mug is one of our most popular products, so here we are.
It’s a bulldog. On the toilet. Reading a newspaper. £5.99.
People buy it for bathrooms, obviously. They also buy it for offices, because apparently workplace humour has no boundaries. It’s a perfect Secret Santa gift — cheap enough to be within budget, funny enough to actually get a reaction, and bulldog enough to be memorable.
6. The Bulldogs T-Shirt
Our Bulldogs graphic tee is for the bulldog owner who wants to take their obsession portable. It’s available in five colours — Black, Charcoal, Navy, Purple, and Pink — and sizes S through 2XL, so it fits everyone from the slight terrier-type person to the person who is, themselves, built like a bulldog.
£12.99, 100% ringspun cotton, pre-shrunk, and printed in the UK. It’s a proper quality tee, not a flimsy novelty shirt that falls apart after three washes. We’ve had customers buy one and come back for every colour, which is either a compliment to the shirt or a sign that they need an intervention.
7. Bulldog Cleaning His Teeth Mug
The Bulldog Cleaning His Teeth mug is pure aspiration. Any bulldog owner knows that dental hygiene is a battle. The bulldog does not want its teeth brushed. The bulldog has opinions about this. Strong opinions. Expressed primarily through the medium of going completely rigid and refusing to open its mouth.
And yet here, on this mug, a bulldog is enthusiastically brushing away with a big grin. It’s fantasy. It’s fiction. It’s £5.99 and it pairs beautifully with the Bulldog Cleaning Teeth metal framed poster at £10.99 if you want to commit to the dental hygiene theme.
8. Vibrant Bulldog Metal Framed Poster
The Vibrant Bulldog poster is for people who want bulldog art that’s bold and colourful rather than funny. It’s a striking, vivid portrait on a premium metal-framed backing — the kind of piece that looks genuinely impressive on a wall. £15.99.
There’s a matching Vibrant Bulldog mug at £5.99 too, if you want to buy a set. The colours on both are really punchy — it’s not a subtle design, it’s a “yes I love bulldogs and I want you to know about it” design. Which, for most bulldog owners, is exactly right.
9. Bulldog Stainless Steel Water Bottle
The Bulldog Water Bottle is the practical choice on this list. 17oz stainless steel, double-walled to keep drinks cold or hot, and featuring a bulldog design that’s colourful without being over the top. £22.99 makes it the most expensive item here, but it’s also the one that gets used every single day — at the gym, at work, on walks.
It’s a brilliant gift for the bulldog owner who “has everything” because, honestly, they probably don’t have a decent water bottle with their favourite breed on it. And if they do, they can have two. Nobody has ever complained about having too many water bottles.
10. Personalised Pet Portrait
This one works for any breed, but bulldog owners are some of our biggest customers for the Personalised Pet Portrait. You send us your bulldog’s name and a photo, we create a custom piece of wall art, and you receive it as a digital download or printed in your choice of size.
At £9.99, it’s a thoughtful, personal gift that shows you’ve put actual effort in — without actually requiring that much effort. The photo doesn’t need to be professional. Bulldogs are notoriously hard to photograph (they move unpredictably and they photograph from the wrong angles constantly), so we work with whatever you’ve got.
It’s also a lovely memorial option for bulldogs who’ve passed. We have a Rainbow Bridge Memorial Portrait specifically for that purpose — same price, same process, but designed as a tribute rather than a celebration. It’s a sensitive, beautiful gift for someone who’s lost their bulldog.
Why bulldogs specifically?
People ask us sometimes why we have so many bulldog products. The honest answer is: demand. Bulldog owners are passionate, loyal to the breed, and incredibly enthusiastic buyers. When we launched the first bulldog canvas, the response was immediate. When we added the mugs, they outsold every other breed combined. When we introduced the British collection, it took off.
There’s something about bulldogs that inspires a level of devotion you don’t see with many other breeds. Maybe it’s because they’re so ridiculous. Maybe it’s because they’re so loveable. Maybe it’s because owning a bulldog is such a specific experience — the snoring, the stubbornness, the gas, the loyalty, the way they look at you like you’re the centre of their universe even though they absolutely will not do what you’ve asked — that bulldog owners feel a kinship with each other.
Whatever it is, we love making stuff for them. And for you, if you’re reading this while a bulldog snores on your feet.
