French Bull Dog
The French Bull dog, affectionately called "frenchie," is a small, muscular, and compact bull dog. It is not a big dog as it stands about 12 at the withers and normally weighs between 17 and 27 pounds. The French Bull dog is said to have some resemblance to the mastiff and is also nicknamed the dwarf mastiff.  The French Bulldog has a broad, square head, very short muzzle, and large bat ears. Its face is more pleasant and open than that of the English Bulldog and the wrinkling is not as heavy. The lower jaw is undershot and the tail is naturally abbreviated. The usual coat colors of the Frenchie are brindle, white, brindle and white, and fawn.

Temperament

If you are looking for a nice and pleasant dog, think frenchie. They make good pets with their pleasant personality. This dog is a family dog and quickly forms bonds with family members. Just like a child, the french bull dog is an attention lover and requires lots of it.  As if being cute and affectionate wasn't enough to melt any owner's heart, the french bulldog is no ice brain as it exhibits very good intelligence. It loves to play but will quickly transcend from home clown to home guard to protect the family.  The french bull dog requires lots of attention, so if you have another pet around you must ensure that you balance those love and attention as the frenchie may get very jealous, and being jealous and end up two ways.
 
Living Conditions
This is not a tropics dog as the frenchie simply hates being hot. The french bulldog is very sensitive to excess heat or excess cold and is totally a indoor dog. They are quite at home in apartments and doesn't mind the indoors as they like to be close to their owners.  One thing all pet owners must always be aware of is that indoor dogs do not get as much natural exercise as outdoor dogs and hence requires routine walks to remain fit.

Health Issues
Health, something we have to pay keen attention to is that the french bulldog has a common disease such as excess snoring and Von Willebrand's Disease.  Because of their short face, most French Bulldogs snort, snuffle, wheeze, grunt, and snore loudly. The sounds are endearing to some people; nerve-wracking to others. Slobbering. Some French Bulldogs, especially those with loose jowls, slobber water when they drink. Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a genetic disorder caused by missing or defective von Willebrand factor (VWF), a clotting protein. VWF binds factor VIII, a key clotting protein, and platelets in blood vessel walls, which help form a platelet plug during the clotting process. The condition is named after Finnish physician Erik von Willebrand, a who first described it in the 1920s.
 Symptoms of this Disease are:
  • Excessive Bleeding from small round or scratch.

Grooming
If you take a good look at a french bulldog you will notice a lot of facial wrinkles, always remember to keep between wrinkles clean. Always clean between the wrinkles at bath time or if the dog manages to soil its face excessively. The french bulldog as nice strait coat and may require grooming at least once a week. Just like the facial wrinkles, ensure that the ears are also kept clean and nails groomed. You can use a soft cloth with water to simply clean between wrinkles and ears on your frenchie.

Nutrition
As with most dogs, the french Bull dog is an eater. Ensure that you feed this dog at least twice per day. It is best to have a mixture of raw food (meat) along with dried food for your french bull dog. High-quality dry food is recommended for French Bulldogs when a nutritionally balanced meat-based diet is not available.

French Bull Dog Coat of Many Colors
Not all French Bulldogs are created equally it seems. There are a few varitions in french bulldog colors which may drive up the cost of purchasing this cute little critter. The most common frenchie colors are; Brindle with white, brindle with various color combination.

The following colors are not standard and are mostly purchased by people who are competing in shows.
  1. Black and Tan
  2. Mouse and Liver
  3. Solid Black Coat
  4. Black and White
  5. White and Black
The Bottom line is that French bull Dogs makes great pets. Once you care for them the right way and show them the natural care and attention the require, you should have a lasting and beautiful relationship.
