About the French Bulldog
The French Bulldog is a small dog breed originating in France / England. Adult dogs typically weigh 16 to 28 pounds and live 10 to 12 years. The breed is described as affectionate, people-bonded, playful, brachycephalic.
Households wanting a small, affectionate companion that adapts to apartments, with air conditioning for summer and a vet-care budget. Hot climates without climate control, homes with pools (the breed can't swim), or owners wanting a hiking partner.
Adult French Bulldogs need about 30 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 40 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 2 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
