Knowing your French Bulldog
Dogs are man’s best friend. They can be found everywhere in the world
whether sitting on their masters lap or simply strolling around streets.
There are many breeds of dogs that fall under many
 categories. Among the
most popular breed are French bulldogs. They are small companion dogs
that originated from France. Also known as Frenchie, frog dog, or clown,
this petite canine breed is a favorite among many dog lovers. French
bulldogs appearances are muscular breeds that look compact with their
smooth coats. They also have a snub nose that goes well with a solid
bone structure. They have bat ears that compliment their whole look and
short uncropped, screwed or straight tails.
Most dog lovers love dogs according to their fur or coat. When it comes
to French bulldogs, dog owners usually choose them according to color
and coat patterns. Their color can be simply described as fawn with a
variety of marking patterns. Fawn can vary in shades such as deep red to
pale golden cream. French bulldogs appearances only differ according to
their marking patterns. Most importantly, the colors of these dogs are
only taken into account when they are to be used professionally. This
means that a French bulldog that has the best colors and patterns are
the most popular among their breed because they are the ones seen on
shows and competitions.
 The French bulldog is very similar to the large bulldog. Their only
difference is that the Frenchie’s are small or petite and its face is
not bowed in appearance. They stand at least twelve inches tall at the
shoulder. Because of their size, the American Kennel Club categorized
them in the “Toy Group”. French bulldogs are very loving pets because
they are one person dogs. This dog can be very fun animals especially
with children. They can sometimes appear childish, delightful, and
clownish. They may be playful but their curiosity always gets them into
trouble.
French bulldogs are ideal housedogs. When kept at home, they should not
be leashed because they are at their best when allowed to play around
with people at home. They love to be walked outside but can sometimes be
aggressive around other dogs. Frenchies need obedience training and
plenty of human attention. Owning a French bulldog means taking care of
it the best way possible because they have to be attended properly due
to certain associated health conditions. One such condition involves
breathing problems because of their short noses. They can also have
possible skin problems, eye injuries, and heat stroke.
When taking care of French bulldogs it is always best to ask the
experts. Breeding Frenchies is quite a job. They are very fragile
creatures since they need to be kept in places that are not too hot
because they can easily get heat stroke. French Bulldogs are very
sensitive to any intense temperatures either high or low. They favor
cooler temperatures but not freezing. Additionally, Frenchies should be
brought to their veterinarians regularly and get complete yearly shots.
