Temperament
The French Bulldog, like many other
companion dog breeds require close contact with humans. They have fairly minimal exercise needs, but do require at least daily walks. As a flat-faced breed, it is essential that owners understand that
French Bulldogs cannot live outdoors. Their bulk and their compromised breathing system makes it impossible for them to regulate their temperature efficiently. In addition, Frenchies are top heavy and therefore have a difficult time swimming. Precautions must be taken when exercising a Frenchie during hot or humid weather, as well.
French Bulldogs are very sweet and an excellent companion. The French Bulldog rarely barks and if he does its often to draw attention, to point that he needs something or just because he is not happy. This breed is patient and affectionate with his owners, especially with
children, who are especially protected by the females. French Bulldogs can easily live with other breeds when the proper introductions are done.
They are ranked 58th in
