French Bulldog Profile |
|
|
 |
The hallmark of the French Bulldog, a close relative of the Bulldog, is the bat ear, which gives an inquiring look to its quaint, short-nosed face. The breed was developed in France by laceworkers who had emigrated from Nottingham, England, in search of higher paying jobs. They took Miniature Bulldogs with them, which they crossed with local breeds, eventually arriving at a breed they named the Bouldogue Francais. Originally two ear types were acceptable: the rose ear, typical of the Bulldog, and the bat ear, which prevailed as correct for the Frenchie. For show purposes the breed may be divided into two weight classes: under 22 pounds and 22 to 28 pounds. Dogs exceeding this upper limit are disqualified from competition. The smooth coat, in colors of fawn or brindle, solid white, or brindle and white, is short, fine and easily tended with weekly brushing. The Frenchie makes an excellent house pet for the less active individual, as its exercise needs are moderate, and it adapts well to any size living quarters. The breed is quiet and well mannered and makes a fine watchdog. It's not a barker, but like all snub-nosed breeds, it tends to snort when excited and snore when asleep. Positive, consistent training works best with this breed. (Editor's Note: Coat colors of solid black, mouse, liver, black-and-tan, black-and-white, and white with black will be disqualified in the AKC show ring.)
