The French Bulldog has become one of the world's most popular breeds in recent years. Its small size and affectionate character make it a common choice for apartment living.

Character and temperament

Cheerful, curious and people-focused. It loves being with its family and dislikes being alone for long. It can be stubborn at times; short, fun, reward-based training works best.

Exercise and mental needs

It has moderate exercise needs: short, regular walks and indoor play are usually enough. As a flat-faced breed, it's important to avoid intense exercise in hot weather and to move walks to cooler times of day.

Coat care

The coat is short and fine; weekly brushing is enough. Keeping the facial folds clean and dry is part of the grooming routine.

Who is it suited to?

Suited to people and families who enjoy a calm pace and can keep their dog company during the day. It is not a breed for someone looking for a long-distance running or intense sports partner.

A short history

Its roots lie in small bulldogs taken from England to France in the 19th century; the breed developed in France and took its name from there.
