French Bulldog
The king of city dogs. Small, cute, and endlessly entertaining.
Frenchies are having a moment. Everyone has one. They're the most popular dog in big cities for a reason.
What They're Like
These dogs are comedians. They make funny noises. They snort. They wheeze. They grunt. It's like living with a little cartoon character.
They're loyal too. Frenchies bond hard to their people. They want to be near you. Always.
Exercise Needs
Low. Very low. A couple short walks a day is plenty. They can't handle heat or strenuous exercise. Those flat faces make breathing hard.
Health
Here's the deal. Frenchies have breathing issues. It's genetic. They can't regulate temperature well. Don't exercise them in hot weather. Don't let them get overweight.
You'll also deal with skin issues. Those wrinkles trap moisture. You need to clean them regularly.
Who Should Get One
Apartment dwellers. People who don't want to run marathons. Anyone who wants a dog that's easy to take anywhere.
The Verdict
Frenchies aren't for everyone. The health issues are real. But if you want a goofy, loyal, portable companion, they're hard to beat.
