The link for health info is a list of possible health problems. This does NOT mean your pup will ever have any of these issues. All pups are vet checked before they go to their new homes. All of our adults are healthy and beautiful with wonderful temperments.
The French Bulldog is a pleasant easy care companion. A very playful and affectionate dog. Sweet and absolutely hilarious ! They love to clown around and make us laugh all the time. They are bright and easy going. The Frenchie gets along fairly well with strangers and other animals, but they will often bond to one person. They play well with other dogs , some males may be male dog agressive. This breed needs companionship and will not thrive without it. Some can be stubborn, but patient consistent training works well. They are not yappy or loud. Their size is small/med but they are strong and heavy dogs and do best with children 5 yrs and up. Most Frenchies can't swim because of their physique, so be very careful around pools. Because of their short noses, hot weather can be hard on them. They can not be left outside in the heat for long periods of time !! We just love the Frenchie breed and would be happy to talk to you about them and any questions or concerns you might have.

FrenchBulldogs are much like other types of bulldogs in that they have a heavy, muscular and compact build. They are short and stocky, small to medium in stature, and typically weighing 16 to 28 pounds (7-12 kg). Their heads are large and square, and are flat between their signature “bat ears.” Their eyes are wide and low on their head. Frenchbulldogs should be stout, and have hind legs that are slightly longer in length than their front legs. Their coats are short and their skin is slightly looser around their shoulders, neck and face, resulting in wrinkles.
Although the French Bulldog can come in a variety of colors and markings, the AKC only allows Frenchies with brindled, white, fawn coats, or a mixture of the three. Their tails are short, and straight or “screwed.”
Temperamentally, the French bulldog is an excellent companion dog that is playful, loyal and easygoing. Their overall good temperament makes them an excellent choice as a family dog, but they should be trained, and kept inside. Their shortened snout and face makes it difficult for them to regulate their body temperature, so exercise should be less vigorous, and temperature should be carefully moderated.
Like many purebred dogs, the French bulldog suffers from many congenital diseases or conditions. They include bleeding disorders, cherry eye, elongated soft and cleft palates (which result in breathing issues), esophageal disorders, and spinal and back problems. Their body type requires that Frenchbulldogs be delivered by cesarean.
Life Jackets are a great idea if you have a pool or lake home. Many available online.
