The French Bulldog comes from the French as you probably hear in the name. Every French Bulldog has a different character, weight and appearance. The animal also needs special care.
Character of the French bulldog
The bulldog is a huge companion dog and watchdog. He gets along well with children, even with the very little ones. It is a real playmate. Do you have another dog? No problem, the French Bulldog matches all dogs if they grow up since the puppy. The Frenchie receives all your visitors with great enthusiasm and does no harm to others.
Long walks are not necessary with the French Bulldog.
In warm weather it is not recommended to go for a walk because they have a short nose they quickly become short of breath, once or twice a day around the block or running around in the garden is more than enough for the dog. If you live in an apartment and you don’t have a garden, but you do have time to go for a walk every day, this is no problem either, the French Bulldog can easily teach you to do their needs on a “litter box”. It’s a smart dog and learns tricks pretty quickly, as long as you bring it enthusiastically and show them you’re happy when they do it right.

The ears: the ears lie down at birth, but as the Frenchie dog grows, the ears straighten.
