Temperament of The French Bulldog Breed

Temperament

Friends playing.
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 Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs.[9] There are certain exceptions to this average level of canine intelligence; a French Bulldog named Princess Jacqueline who died in 1934 was reported to have a vocabulary of twenty words, and used each word or phrase correctly.  For more info on the French Bulldog visit Blue French Bulldog
