The French Bulldog is a small companion breed of dog that was developed in France from French Terriers and the toy English Bulldog; brought to France during the industrial revolution and economic crisis in England. They were originally bred as ratters, but are now bred as lap dogs and companions. The breed is commonly called the Frenchie, also known as "clowns" and frog dogs. They love to clown around and can run and play for hours.
French bulldog Puppies is a compact, muscular dog with a smooth coat, solid bone structure with a flat powerful muzzle and a pug nose. A valued companion and watchdog, the French bulldog stands 11 to 12 inches (28 to 30 cm) and ideally weighs no more than 28 pounds (13 kg). His physical appearance is characterized by naturally occurring large and erect 'bat ears' that are wide at the base and rounded at the top. The head is large and square with round sharp eyes. The tails is naturally short, not cropped, straight or screwed. The short, soft, easy-care coat comes in brindle, fawn, white and combinations of brindle or fawn with white.
Frenchies prefer cooler climates. Overheating this dog may cause heat stroke so proper shade and water should always be provided. This breed may drool and slobber; however a good percentage of them do not. If too overweight, they may have trouble breathing, because of a swollen abdomen. This breed is an average shedder so very little grooming is needed. Due to their small size they are good for apartment life. They can be fairly active indoors and have fairly minimal exercise needs, but do require at least daily walks. Walks should be kept short and the dog should be allowed breaks when walking long distances. They mature slowly and their life span ranges 12 and 14 years.
French Bulldog Puppies are slow learners and can be somewhat willful so consistent training is required. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean. They need companionship and will not thrive without it. They often bond strongly to one person. Given proper socialization the French Bulldog can do well with other dogs, but should not be around small children, as they do not tolerate rough play. Their skin is quite soft making them very appealing to pet. Prized for their affectionate natures and even dispositions, they are generally active and alert, but not unduly boisterous. Very comical little dogs they are always great for a good laugh and long friendship.
