French Bulldog and French Bulldog Puppy

French Bulldogs and French Bulldog puppies are popular due to their good nature, small size, and high playful energy.

Fr. Bulldog are the #1 most popular breed in the U.S.

 

FRENCH BULLDOG ORIGIN AND HISTORY

French Bulldogs are actually of English origin. They earned their “French” status from 19th-century English lacemakers who specially bred a “lap” version of the bulldog, nicknamed the “toy” bulldog. These craftsmen fled to France during the Industrial Revolution, taking their pets with them, and thus the popular French Bulldog was born.

French Bulldog puppies are more like their English bulldog than the American bulldog.

French Bulldogs are stocky, with small legs set close to the ground. They feature a round, barrel-shaped body, and a deep, square lower jaw. True to the bulldog breed, they have a mass of wrinkles around their head and shoulder area.

However, unlike English or American Bulldogs, French Bulldogs are distinguished by their

• large, prominent round eyes
• pointy, bat-like ears that stand straight up

FRENCH BULLDOG CURRENT STANDARD

The French Bulldog is a medium-sized breed, typically weighing 19 to 28 pounds and standing about 12 inches tall. French Bulldog puppies are bright dogs with pleasant and easygoing natures.

French bulldogs love to give affection and be loved in return. They thrive on family life, are great with children, and generally get along well with other pets.

French Bulldogs are intelligent and fairly active. They enjoy stimulating exercise, especially young French Bulldog puppies, who can be very frisky and love chasing balls and playing other active games.

On average, a Frenchie’s lifespan is around 11–13 years.
