French Bulldog

Dog breed profile

The French Bulldog is a popular small breed originally developed in France as a companion dog. Known for its unique bat-like ears and muscular, compact build, it has a friendly and playful personality. This breed is well-suited to apartment living due to its moderate energy levels and minimal exercise needs. Regular grooming is simple, focusing mainly on coat brushing and facial fold care. While generally healthy, French Bulldogs may be prone to breathing and skin issues, so routine veterinary care is important. Their affectionate and sociable temperament makes them a great choice for families, first-time owners, and those seeking a devoted indoor companion.
