Always wanted an english bulldog and finally got a 2 yr old earlier this year. Snored very loud and also farts loud, and constantly got drool on everything. Problem was he had a temper with me (was fine with wife and kids). The last straw was when I was getting on to him for taking my daughters waffle from her and he literally tried to rip my thumb off so had to get rid of him. Thinking he was possibly abused by a man before which is why he was so short tempered with me. Had to get rid of him after that.
Bulldogs are very stubborn so get used to them not listening to you. They really don't care about what you want and enjoy not listening to you just to spite you.
As far as health tips it depends on the dog. Some bulldogs have health issues and need a lot of care. Others don't have as many. Make sure you clean her wrinkles daily they get very dirty. As far as exercise if you don't have a yard for her to play in just make sure you take her for walks. I also recommend googling english bulldogs on skateboards and you will immediately want to buy her a skateboard.
