The French Bulldog are active,
intelligent, muscular and heavy boned, with a smooth coat, and compactly built;
of medium or small structure. "Frenchies" are bred primarily as pets and companions,
but they also make a good watchdog. They are to some limits a smaller version
of the English Bulldog. The difference of the two being the size, less bulk,
less bowing of the legs and wrinkles, and "bat" rounded ears on the part of
the French Bulldog. They are naturally born with bob tails, straight or screw.
The breed standards in different countries vary only in color, as North America
and England prefer lighter cream colors, while those colors are banned in continental
Europe. Frenchies makes good apartment dogs, but also enjoy roaming outside
on a leash. French Bulldogs are wonderful companions to small children who love
to play dress-up, or a lonely delivery driver looking for a lighthearted partner
to ride shotgun. In a family situation they behave like a child, demanding a
great deal of personal attention and interaction. They are perky, bright,
obedient and intelligent. They are fun loving and enjoy any size family, though
some are more one-person dogs. They are willing to please, easy to take care
and do not have the yappy bark most small dogs retain. Frenchies are a great
choice for the fun-loving, humorous family.
