French Bulldog

  • Why we love them: friendly, tolerant, sociable and agile

APEARANCE

Frenchies typically weigh under 28 pounds, making them a manageable size for most homes. Their coat is short, smooth, and fine, requiring minimal grooming. French Bulldogs come in a variety of colors, including brindle, fawn, white, and combinations of brindle and white or fawn and white. Their large, bat-like ears are one of the breed's most recognizable features, along with their broad, square heads and compact, muscular bodies.

GROOMING

Their grooming needs are relatively low due to their short coat. Regular brushing will help to keep their coat clean and reduce shedding. They do not need frequent baths, but keeping their skin folds clean and dry is essential to prevent infections.



PERSONALITY

French Bulldogs are known for their even temperament and sociable nature. They are playful, affectionate, and easygoing, and make great companions for all types of families. They love to play, but don't require a lot of exercise. They are content with short walks and playtime. Frenchies tend to form strong bonds with their pet parents, and become attached to one person. They can be stubborn at times, but with consistent, positive training, they learn quickly and are eager to please.

FUN FACT

French Bulldogs are not originally from France. They actually have their roots in England, and started as a miniature version of the English Bulldog. They were highly popular with lace workers in the 1800s and, when many lace workers emigrated to France during the Industrial Revolution, they took their small bulldogs with them, where they became known as the "French Bulldog." Their popularity soared in France, and eventually, they became a symbol of Parisian life.
