French Bulldog Puppies

Physical Characteristics

Temperament & Grooming Needs

Will a French Bulldog be a good addition to my home? Are they good with kids? What are their temperaments like?

While French Bulldogs are great at warning you when someone is at the door, they do not tend to be frequent barkers. Your Frenchie won’t typically bark without a good reason. Frenchies are quite intelligent, but can also be a little bit emotional. They understand your tone and can be quite sensitive to yelling. If they are scolded, it is not unusual for them to mope around the house or feel uncomfortable. Keep this in mind when correcting your French Bulldog. As a general rule, French Bulldogs are great with children. Their temperament lends well to companionship as they are fun, playful, and a great size for children. Despite this, children should always be supervised when around puppies, regardless of breed. Frenchies tend to connect with or form a special bond with a member of your family. You are so lucky to share this type of bond with a French bulldog. French Bulldogs can make the perfect family companion. If you have cats or dogs, they will often acclimate well if introduced as a puppy. Frenchies can be territorial (if male) but can get along with other males with proper training and socialization. Patience is required with your young French Bulldog pup. Frenchies are stubborn, but they are trainable.

While extensive grooming is not necessary, French Bulldogs do require monthly maintenance of their fur. If you plan to groom your Frenchie at home, brush your pup weekly to help him/her maintain a healthy and shiny coat. Monthly clipping of your dogs nails will also be necessary. As dogs do not often enjoy their feet being touched, this may require a trip to the groomer. You will also want to brush your pups teeth several times a week to ensure healthy gums and prevent tooth decay and other issues down the road. Clean your pups ears regularly to remove dirt and dust. Baths should also occur monthly or as needed.
