French Bulldog

Often described as “a clown in the cloak of a philosopher,” the French Bulldog originated as, and continues to be used as a companion dog. The breed is small and muscular with heavy bone structure, a smooth coat, a short face and trademark “bat” ears. Prized for their affectionate natures and even dispositions, they are generally active and alert, but not unduly boisterous. Frenchies can be brindle, fawn, white, and brindle and white.

Breed Information

History

Lacemakers in 19th Century Nottingham, England selectively bred the early bulldog for a downsized or “toy” bulldog, for use as a lap pet. When the Industrial Revolution displaced some lacemakers to France, they took the dogs with them, and soon the “toy” bulldogs became popular in France, where wealthy Americans doing the Grand Tour saw and fell in love with them. In the late 1800s these “toy bulldogs” became known as French Bulldogs.

Frenchies are indoor dogs, but require air conditioning in warm weather. While good at alerting their owners to danger (Look! The UPS Guy is coming!), their main role is that of lap warmer. The Frenchie requires minimal exercise and grooming.

I had a great experience at Waggs to Riches!
All of the puppies are healthy and from private breeders, as the breeders information is placed on each cage. Ask the employees any questions about the puppies and they are very knowledgable, as well as attentive. If they don’t know an answer to your question about a certain puppy, they make sure to find out for you. You truly get what you pay for and if you want a healthy puppy with a creditable background, shop at Waggs To Riches. Thanks to the owner and her staff I had an amazing experience shopping here.
