French Bulldogs originated in England as miniature English
Bulldogs. In the 1860s , French dog breeders transferred some of these
dogs to Great Britain and crossed them with French Terriers. France had a
fondness for these dogs which is how the name ?French Bulldog? came about. When
the breed eventually made it back to Britain, there was a huge conflict
regarding the name because the Bulldog was a symbol of English
culture.
French Bulldogs look very similar to English Bulldogs but
significantly smaller. These little Bulldogs have long, erect, bat ears. They
have a powerful muzzle and their noses are similar to a Pug?s. They have square
heads but they?re not as big as the English Bulldogs. Their foreheads are
rounded. These dogs are usually pear-shaped and their shoulders are wider than
their backs. They have short and soft hair that comes in a variety of colors
like brindle, fawn, white, or a combo of all three. They have big dark eyes and
usually have under-bites. They are about 12 inches in height and they fall into
two weight classes: 19-22 pounds and 22-28 pounds.
French Bulldogs are
wonderful companions. They are sweet and playful. They have very funny
personalities and they like to goof off. French Bulldogs get along well with
people and other animals but they often will have a strong bond with one person.
They can play well with other dogs but sometimes males are aggressive with other
dogs and sometimes not. French Bulldogs will not have quality lives without
companionship, they cannot be ignored. This is not a dog that you can buy and
then put in the backyard for long periods of time, especially when you and your
family is home. They like people and enjoy being around them.
They can
be trained but as with all breeds of dogs , they do not do well with hitting or jerking. They
respond reasonably well to most training and do well with verbal praise as a
reward for demonstrating good behaviors. They can easily gain weight so be
careful with using treats as a training aid. They have trouble being totally
quiet but they?re not loud, yappy, or annoying either. French Bulldogs are
family dogs but they do better with older children and they act as like hunters
when they see mice or other small animals.
French Bulldogs are prone to
eye and respiratory problems. If overweight, French Bulldogs may develop
breathing problems because of a swollen abdomen. Sometimes they wheeze, snore,
and have a lot of gas. French Bulldogs cannot swim because of the way that
they?re built so take caution if you live near any body of water.
French
Bulldogs are very sensitive to any extreme temperatures, high or low. Like
English Bulldogs, they can easily get heat stroke if they?re in high
temperatures. They prefer cooler temperatures but not freezing. They can be
active indoors and it is not necessary to have a yard. They do need to be taken
on daily walks and they enjoy playing. Some may have more energy than others and
they are average shedders! French Bulldogs are a great breed of dog that is
suitable for a wide range of people and they make wonderful companions if cared
for properly.
