Questions & Answers
French Bulldogs are a member of the non-sporting group of breeds. They are a small breed that have a sturdy, muscular build, a short snout and broad chest, and a distinctive bat-like facial appearance. They typically weigh between 16 to 28 lbs and their coat is short and smooth, ranging from cream to reddish-brindle. They are known to be good-natured, and clownish in personality, making them an excellent companion dog. Their active and playful nature make French Bulldogs great for small homes, apartment-style living, or any adventure.
Generally speaking, French bulldogs are low-shedding dogs, meaning they tend to shed much less than many other breeds. Though they may require regular brushing to prevent mats and tangles, they typically do not require professional grooming as often as many other breeds. With the right care, their short coat should stay free of dirt and debris. Additionally, it is common for French Bulldogs to produce significantly less dander than many other breeds, making them an excellent choice for those with allergies.
French Bulldogs should not be fed large bones or other hard items that can break or injure their sensitive teeth, throat, and digestive system. Additionally, French Bulldogs should not be given food that is too high in fat or contains excessive amounts of artificial sweeteners or sugars. Moreover, puppy formulas, kitty kibble, and wet food for cats are not suitable for French Bulldogs. Additionally, grape or raisin-based treats and foods should be avoided due to potential toxicity. Raw diets are also not recommended for French Bulldogs due to potential bacterial contamination.
Before you get a French Bulldog, you should make sure that you have the essential items that your pup will need. These can include a comfy bed or cushion for sleeping, food and water bowls, chew toys, wet food, treats, a brush, a collar and a leash, puppy pads, interactive toys, and a crate. Additionally, you'll want to make sure to have some medication on hand in case of any ailments. Finally, don't forget to budget for vet visits, routine vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and overall pet care.
French Bulldog puppies typically weigh between 16-28 pounds when they are full grown. The size of a fully grown French Bulldog can vary, but the breed standard is approximately 12 inches from the shoulders to the ground and less than 28 pounds. Ultimately, the size of your French Bulldog puppy largely depends on its parentage: larger parents typically result in larger puppies while smaller parents typically result in smaller puppies. As your puppy grows, feeding them a healthy and balanced diet, including the right amount of food and regular exercise, can help them reach their adult size.
French Bulldogs have a great affinity for water and enjoy swimming! While they're not known for being natural swimmers, with enough training and encouragement, they can learn to love it. They are natural waders, however, and will often put their heads in shallow pools or streams to see what's there. But they should never jump in water without proper supervision or training. If you plan on taking your French Bulldog swimming, a life jacket would be a good idea for extra security. Additionally, be sure the water is not too hot or cold to avoid shock hazards.
French Bulldogs are excellent companions for children due to their friendly, gentle, and affectionate nature. Generally, French Bulldogs are even-tempered, patient, and even-mannered, and are often interested in playing and being around kids. As an added bonus, Frenchies typically do not shed, so they are great for families with allergies. French Bulldogs love to be around their family, so they make a great addition to a household of children. When given proper attention, socialization, and training, French Bulldogs and kids can make an ideal pair.
Generally speaking, French Bulldogs require about thirty minutes per day of dedicated walking, playing, and training. This should be broken into ten to fifteen minute intervals throughout the day in order to accommodate their short attention span. During this time, it's important to reinforce basic obedience commands such as 'sit', 'come', and 'stay' and continue to challenge them mentally with tasks such as teaching a new trick. Typically, repetition will help create a well-rounded and loyal companion. Offer plenty of positive reinforcement with treats or small toys so that your dog knows when they do a good job.
