 It's
pretty hard not to fall in love with this adorable, "bat-eared" French
cousin of the English Bulldog!
The French
Bulldog or "Frenchie" was
developed in France from Miniature Bulldogs which were brought over from
Nottingham, England, and crossed with local breeds to create the dog known
as the "Bouldogue Francais", and were a favored canine companion of Parisian
"Ladies of the Night".
These sweet little snub-nosed characters make exceptional family pets and
great watchdogs!
Frenchies are small to medium dogs that stand up to 12 1/2 inches at the
shoulder and can weigh up to 27 1/2 pounds.
Frenchies love to eat, so their diet should be monitored to keep them
from becoming overweight. They have a short, smooth coat that is easy to
care for and comes in shades of fawn, brindle, solid white and brindle and
white.
Thinking about adding a
French
Bulldog puppy to your family? Frenchies are a great choice for
less-active dog lovers since their exercise needs are moderate.
Well-mannered and intelligent, Frenchies are not barkers. They do tend to
snore, though! |
