The French BullDog, often called a "Frenchie", originated from France around the 1800s. They were initially used in farming communities as work dogs, but were soon discovered to make wonderful family pets. The most dominating opinion about the origin of the French Bulldog is that in the mid 19th century the Normandy lace workers traveled from England to France taking smaller variations of Bulldogs with them, as they looked for work. The lace workers settled among the farming communities of northern France, and the little bulldogs started on their way to popularity. Despite their petite size, their love of family and loyalty is extremely great. Over the next 50 years "Les Bouledogues Francais" became established as a separate breed. Unfortunately the French neglected to record pedigrees making it impossible to know exact lineage of these animals. It can be surmised that terriers and pugs were contributors in this breed's development - but to what extent and which specific dogs were used will never be known.
The French Bulldog is an active, muscular built dog, with a smooth coat, and generally of medium or small structure. With their pug-like face and their bat like ears, they are simply irresistible. . Ears vary from medium to large, appearing bunny like in babies. The Frenchie will weigh anywhere from 22 to 28lbs and are about 12 inches in height. They appear to be lighter in weight but their large bones tip the scales to a surprising higher number. Their color variations consist of pied (white with colored spots), fawn (light tan, orange tan and red), creme and brindle. Noses are most often black and freckles on the skin are abundant. ext.
Frenchies are bred primarily as pets and companions. They make good apartment dogs, but also enjoy roaming outside on a lead. Given the environment for running, their strong little bodies behave like a big dog within. For those craving a bigger dog behavior (someone to get rough with, not fragile) the Frenchie offers both big and small dog preferences rolled into one. He is small enough to take with you anywhere and fits conveniently on your lap when full-grown. d text.
French Bulldogs are a happy-spirited breed, that would be a wonderful addition to any family. They love other dogs and do well in a pack. Their personality is not too high strung as are some terrier breeds. Yet, he is not only a couch potato. There is a sweetness apparent in their soulful eyes. They will adore you and stare at you with uncompromised love. They are very social with strangers. It is not uncommon to see them being walked off-leash” for they are so easily obedient and not aggressive with strangers. They will greet the on-comer with an abundance of hello nuzzles and a big grin. This breed is never known for being skittish” His intelligence and willingness to please makes him the "top dog" in any obedience class. His only negative characteristic might be that he often snores until deep asleep, the price for that cute pushed in nose. Once accustomed though, you can’t sleep without their grumbling purr nearby. Note that Frenchies DO NOT drool. :-)
