French Bulldog Dog Breed - The Good, the Bad, the Snorty
- 15/11/2010
Are you considering the French Bulldog dog breed to become your loyal canine companion? Then read the following information to make sure you make the right decision.
The muscular compact build of the "frenchie" is in stark contrast with the funny, bat-like ears. Their funny heads are a good indicator to their temperament. They truly are clowns among dogs. They are pretty easy-going, balanced dogs. But they haven't forgotten their bulldog genes, they make good guard dogs and will do their best to protect you and your family.
Not too energetic, these dogs do very well in the city. A daily walk and some play in the garden or living room is enough exercise to keep them happy and healthy. Do be careful when the temperatures outside are rising. If your house or apartment doesn't have an ac unit, provide your French Bulldog with extra water and a cooling pad. Because of their short muzzle they have trouble regulating their temperature, which can cause heatstroke in warm weather.
The short nose is also responsible for one of their specific traits; snoring. Keep this in mind if you're going to share your bedroom with your frenchie, he might keep you up at night.
They do well with other pets and children. But you should pay some extra attention to same sex socializing with the females. Even though they bond very closely with their owner, they're not wary of strangers.
Training can be a bit of a struggle as they tend to be a little stubborn. Being firm and consistent will help you a long way in establishing yourself as your frenchie's boss.
