“The French Bulldog has the appearance of an active, intelligent, muscular dog of heavy bone, smooth coat, compactly built, and of medium or small structure. Expression alert, curious, and interested.”

They are very playful and comical. Active and alert and make very affectionate companion dogs. A true companion animal because they just want to be near their master and do what the master is doing.    Frenchies are stubborn and need strong leadership . They cannot take extreme climates, either heat or cold, and therefore should be an inside pet. They are a mostly clean animal and mostly avoid getting dirty or finding puddles if at all possible, they also do not like to be out in the rain. Bright and easygoing in families and around other animals, especially other Frenchies.  They do snore and wheeze. Weight management may help reduce the amount of breathing issues.

This breed, as with any other breed, does have breed specific health problems. These may include respiratory issues, joint or spinal disorders, heart and eye problems. Breeding can be difficult and requires artificial insemination and cesarean section delivery often resulting in small litters. This does increase the cost of purchasing and owning a French Bulldog.  

Before making a long term committment please research the breed fully and speak to owners and breeders to find out if the breeed suits your lifestyle and family situation. We have included a link to the French Bulldog Club of America website that you may find helpful.
