French Bulldog
Therefore to this dog will I,
Tenderly not scornfully,
Render praise and favor.

Although a close relative of the Bulldog, the French Bulldog's unusual "bat" ears give him a unique and distinctive look. During the 1800s, the larger English Bulldog was bred down in size, and these smaller Bulldogs became popular family pets especially in the midlands of England. British lacemakers from this area took the small dogs to France, where they bred with local dogs resulting in the Bouldogue Francais or French Bulldog.

| The French Bulldog is compact
and muscular and weighs no more than 28 pounds. His easily-groomed coat is short
and smooth and comes in white, fawn, brindle, or brindle and white. The loose skin forms
wrinkles in the head and neck area. Originally both the Bulldog's "rose" ear and the French
Bulldog's "bat" ear were considered correct. However, the "bat" ear has
become the standard for the French Bulldog today. The Frenchie is susceptible to temperature and should be protected
from excessive heat and cold.
A quiet, well-mannered dog, the Frenchie is an ideal pet for the less active owner. Alert, active, and playful, he is a lovable soul who is good with children. Originally bred as a companion, the French Bulldog is happiest as a house dog, part of a loving family, and is not the dog to be left alone for long periods. Although generally not given to barking, he can make a good watchdog. He requires a patient, consistent master who is willing to persist when the Frenchie's stubborn streak asserts itself! If you can't live with snuffling, snorting, and even snoring common among the short-nosed breeds, then this isn't the dog for you. As a less active breed, the Frenchie is suited to many types of accommodation but he should receive regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight. |
