The French Bulldog or Frenchie is a small, muscular, and fairly active member of the bulldog breed. This chunky breed is characterized by its erect bat-shaped ears.<\/p>\n

Frenchies have a short, smooth, shiny and dense coat. Coat colors can be roan but are usually fawn and white with streaked patches or tiger markings. There are many different types of Frenchies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These dogs stand 11 to 14 inches tall at shoulder height and weigh from 17 to 26 pounds. Frenchies are members of the American Kennel Club (AKC) Non-Sporting Dog Group.<\/p>\n

History of The French Bulldog<\/h3>\n

French Bulldogs were probably derived from undersized English Bulldogs that British workers brought to France in the 19th century.<\/p>\n

These little bulldogs became popular as ratters and companions of European artists. The Frenchie makes a terrific companion dog and is ranked 49th out of 154 dog breeds in 2004 AKC registrations.<\/p>\n

Temperament of The French Bulldog<\/h3>\n

French Bulldogs are one of the nicest, most amusing and amiable of all dog breeds<\/a>. The Frenchie is a perfect apartment dog that is clean, easy to groom, very quiet<\/a> and sheds very little.<\/p>\n

This Bulldog is easy to train and doesn\u2019t require a lot of exercise. Frenchies like to be the centre of attention but do make good family pets and will tolerate children.<\/p>\n

These Bulldogs will do best with an older couple without children or other pets to compete for their affection.<\/p>\n

This breed is entirely suitable for novice or first-time dog owners. French Bulldogs can even adapt to being left alone during the day if they receive lots of attention before and after work.<\/p>\n

Exercise<\/h3>\n

Frenchies are temperature sensitive and must be protected from overheating during the summer and cold during the winter.<\/p>\n

These Bulldogs are prone to gaining weight and should be walked regularly for exercise. This breed makes a perfect apartment dog. French Bulldogs can not swim and will drown if they fall in a pool.<\/p>\n

Grooming<\/h3>\n

You should brush their coats occasionally with a rubber brush to remove loose hair. French Bulldog\u2019s ears need to be cleaned and the creases on their face need to be treated with Vaseline.<\/p>\n

Health Considerations<\/h3>\n

French Bulldogs should live from 10 to 12 years and like most short-faced dogs they can suffer from respiratory problems. One other concern is that the Frenchie\u2019s protruding eyes are susceptible to lacerations and other injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":23760,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalcorner.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dog_breeds\/23566"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalcorner.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dog_breeds"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalcorner.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dog_breeds"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/animalcorner.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalcorner.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
