French Bulldog
Breed Profile
The French Bulldog is a small domestic breed. They were given life in the 1800s as a result of a cross between bulldog ancestors imported from England and local ratters in Paris, France. This breed is tolerant and loving with its folks, especially with small children, who are especially protected by the females. French Bulldogs can easily live alongside other breeds, when adequate introductions have been made.
Temperament
The French Bulldog, like many other companion dog breeds, thrives on being close with humans. As a result, they feel a great deal of separation anxiety after being left alone for a couple of hours. This is especially pronounced when French Bulldogs are young, although this issue remains a concern lingers well into adulthood. French Bulldogs make excellent companions. The French Bulldog rarely barks, and if he does it is to draw attention, to point out that he needs something, like in some instances, even more attention.
Color & Coat
Coat: The French bulldog has only a single short smooth coat. which combined with their compromised breathing system makes it impossible for them to regulate their temperature efficiently. This means the dog may easily become cold and will likely need some extra covering inside during the winter in particularly cold areas.
Color: The most common colors are brindle and fawn, with pieds being less common than the other colors.
Health
Frenchies are known to be prone to obesity, which can damage their physical structure and render them at increased risk for some of the breed’s health issues, so it is vital to be on the lookout for their calorie intake and weight. If you choose to give your dog treats, do so in moderation. Give table leftovers sparingly, if at all, especially avoiding cooked bones and foods high in fat.
