The Pointy-Eared Bulldog is a dog breed that can be registered as a pet in Crimson Desert. This compact, muscular dog is recognizable by its upright, pointed ears and stocky build. Like all pets, the Pointy-Eared Bulldog can be found roaming settlements across Pywel, particularly in larger cities. These animals appear in different locations depending on the time of day.
The Pointy-Eared Bulldog has a broad chest, short snout, and distinctive upright ears that give it an alert, watchful expression. Its muscular frame and compact build make it easy to distinguish from the Floppy-Eared variety.
To register a Pointy-Eared Bulldog as your companion, you must reach 100 trust with the animal. Trust is built through two main interactions: petting and feeding.
Petting: +5 trust per interaction, up to 5 times per in-game day (25 trust maximum from petting alone).
Feeding: Up to 3 feeds per in-game day. Dogs accept any type of meat. Tough Meat grants +10 trust per feeding, while Fine Meat grants +35 trust.
Meat can be purchased at the Grocer's Shop or Butchery in Hernand, south of the inn. Once trust reaches 100, set the animal down and hold Square (PlayStation) or E (PC) to select the "Take in" prompt. The animal is then permanently registered as your pet. For a full breakdown of trust values and feeding costs, see the main Pets article.
A dog companion can sometimes be acquired during city festivities tied to the main quest. The Fang Without a Master faction quest also features pet acquisition. Dogs like the Pointy-Eared Bulldog are among the first pets players encounter in the early areas of the game.
Once registered, the Pointy-Eared Bulldog follows you while exploring Pywel. Pets assist in combat by automatically looting items from defeated enemies, saving time during extended fights and dungeon runs. Your pet is a permanent companion and will stay by your side throughout the game. Only one pet can be active at a time, but you can switch between registered pets through the Inventory menu.
Pets can sustain injuries during combat encounters. An injured pet cannot run and will move slowly until healed. Use Healing Force Palm to restore your pet's health. You can also equip pet-specific armor to increase their defensive stats and reduce the chance of injury. Pet equipment can be purchased at shops in Pororin Forest Village and Demeniss.
Multiple pets can be registered at once, up to a maximum of 30. All registered companions are managed through the Inventory menu, where you can switch your active pet or review their equipment and status. Collecting all 30 unique pets is required for a Life Challenge and the Natural Collector trophy.
