Questions & Answers
One of the most interesting things about French Bulldogs is their affectionate personalities. Contrary to their tough and feisty demeanor, these little dogs are loving, patient, and friendly. The breed is remarkably easy to train and make for great first-time dogs for owners of any age. French Bulldogs are also great for urban living due to their smaller size and low activity level. In addition to their people-friendly personalities, French Bulldogs are a relatively easy care breed. They groom easily, rarely require any clipping, and their short, dense coats help them to endure cold weather well.
French Bulldogs have a short coat that may appear to have a single coat, but in fact it has two layers, the topcoat that is of medium-short length and a soft undercoat that serves to insulate the dog from the environment. The hair of the French Bulldog varies in length from short to medium in length and is usually quite silky in texture. They come in various shades such as brindle, cream, black, brown, white and fawn. They boast a low shedding coat, which is ideal for those looking for a less maintenance type of pet.
French Bulldogs enjoy diets that are made up of high-quality dry kibble as well as fresh, high-protein foods. Your Frenchie’s diet should account for their small stomach size and should either be broken up into multiple smaller meals or one larger meal a day. Additionally, beware of foods that are high in fat, as this can put your pup at risk for becoming overweight. French Bulldogs also benefit from the occasional treats, as this helps to keep them motivated and engaged. Make sure all treats are soft and should never exceed 10% of their daily caloric intake.
Before getting a French Bulldog, it's important to have the right supplies. For starters, you'll need a collar, leash, harness, and/or a special harness for short-nosed dogs; a crate with either a cloth or plastic cover; dog bed; quality food and feeding bowls; nonslip floor mats; toys; nail clippers; a brush; treats; and pooper scooper. Additionally, you might want to invest in a safety gate to limit your pet's access to certain areas of your home.
French Bulldogs, while often referred to as small dogs, are actually classified as a medium-sized, stocky, and muscular canine. Generally, they are about 12-16 inches tall and weigh between 17-30 pounds full grown. Though their size can vary, Frenchies are one of the more compact, shorter breeds, making them appear smaller than their full-grown, mature size. Despite their petite frame, they are known for their active, smart, and loyal personalities, traits, which make them the perfect companion for owners of all types and lifestyles.
French Bulldogs typically need moderate exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Daily walks or playtime of at least 30 minutes is recommended. To keep their temperament in check, they should also enjoy some one-on-one time with their owners. When choosing activities for your French Bulldog, plan for activities that are suited for their size, such as relaxed walks, playing fetch, or a game of tug-of-war. Additionally, it's important to not overdo it as French Bulldogs can quickly become fatigued so be sure to listen to their body language when planning your exercise time.
French Bulldogs typically have a great disposition and can be very affectionate with children, making them a great breed to get along with kids. As with any pet, proper training and socialization is key in developing a loving relationship between your child and French Bulldog. A good starting point is to have your child learn and understand the dog's body language and to respect boundaries at all times. Praise them when they show good behavior and provide appropriate safe toys and activities to ensure their time together is enjoyable and safe.
Training French Bulldogs correctly takes more than just a few minutes per day. Ideally, you should set aside at least 30 minutes on a daily basis for training and playing with your pup. During this time, you can teach your French Bulldog simple obedience commands, go for walks, or introduce them to fun new activities. Additionally, it's important to offer them mental stimulation so that they don't get bored, which can lead to behavioral problems. You could challenge their intelligence with interactive puzzles or teach them a new trick.
