The French Bulldog or "Frenchie" quaintly bourgeois, has class and style to suit any taste in America.
French Bulldogs average 25 pounds in brindle or fawn and are easily groomed, even the face wrinkles. Square and well-knit, the little “frog dog's short tail wiggles to display a happy and highly individual personality. He snores, snorts, and sneezes but to those who love him, it’s an endearing trademark.
The French Bulldog evolved in France,
was refined in the ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria back in 1898 and has
been the delight of socialites in many countries. His bat ears are a
distinctive feature. He is stoic about unpleasantness but has a terrific
sense of humor and is inventive enough to display it!
French Bulldog Coat, Color, Care: His short, glossy
coat is brindle or fawn with or without white markings. He can be all white but
never black. He’s quite a spiffy little package but the distinctive wrinkles
need daily cleaning.
Frenchie Personality: Pulling from his bulldog ancestry, the much smaller French
Bulldog is animated but calmly mannered, accepting of strangers, and amiable
with children, small animals, and other dogs. A real “people dog”, he demands
human companionship.
Exercise Requirements: French Bulldogs do well in apartments as long as there’s
an elevator to the top floor! His short legs and broad body, combined with short
airways make strenuous exercise, well, strenuous. He will thrive best on morning
and evening walks and lots of mental stimulation with his special person.
Health Concerns: The French Bulldog’s brachycephalic head which contributes to
his “frog face” charm can also lead to an elongated soft palate, shortness of
breath and gagging, particularly in high heat and humidity. There are other
conditions associated with swallowing and he is not an outside dog, ever. The
Frenchie may develop cataracts or cherry eye. The folds or wrinkles must be kept
clean and dry. If kept in proper weight and condition, he is muscular enough to
be relatively free of leg problems but spinal disease is not uncommon. Other
than problems related to head type and miniaturization, the Frenchie is a
healthy breed.
