When you hear the name French Bulldog, you can't help but assume that it originated from France. But the truth is, this dog was primarily developed in England as a miniature English Bulldog. When this breed reached France, the French raved all over this breed that it was named the French Bulldog.
It was said that around the mid 1800s, lace workers from England went to France in search for jobs and they brought with them little bulldogs. In their settlements, these little bulldogs became popular as ratters and loyal companions until such time that their populations grew. These dogs were then further developed using French Terriers and the resulting breed became a rage in Paris.
During these times, the French Bulldog became the favorite of Parisian street walkers. It was believed that the exotic looks of the Frenchie caught the attention of passersby and this allowed possible chats between the owner and the stranger. Even French postcards were then illustrated with French prostitutes posing with their Frenchies and soon after, artistic people across Europe owned this breed.
Well-known personalities around the world were seen to have Frenchies and these include: the Russian royal family, King Edward VII, Collete the author, and Toulouse-Lautrec. However, the current appearance of the Frenchie is credited to the American breeders who further improved this breed at the start of the century. The American fanciers were also the first people to create the very first French Bulldog Club.
The French Bulldog's body is compact and muscular and weighs 20 to 28 pounds. The head is square and flat just like an English Bulldog only smaller; has a Pug's nose and erect "bat" ears. The tail of this breed is innately short and could be straight or corkscrew.
This dog has a short, soft and smooth coat. Its skin is fairly lose and pleasant to touch. The coat colors commonly come in shades of brindle, fawn, white and every combination of these.
Many people love to have the Frenchie as a companion because of its pleasant and easy going nature. It is also remarkably playful, loving and sweet. This dog will never fail to make you laugh because it is comical in nature that's why it is called the clown.
Moreover, this dog is intelligent, vigilant and curious. It needs daily exercise and is sensitive to extreme temperatures; in fact too much heat gives him a heat stroke. An urban dwelling is sufficient for this breed as it is not too active and a wide yard is not necessarily needed. - 20511
