You can,I have one shes cost me thousands for her hip problems which the breeder assured me she was free off. Mine is 8 now and still acts like a puppy with none of the problems of English bulldogs except the hips which if youd seen her swimming today you never guess she has.Fantastic dogs,ours is our baby and gets on fine with her friend a russell.Get one,best dogs in the world but be careful of the breeders,get vets certificates that the parents are free of dysplasia.
