French Bulldogs are priced relatively high for a number of reasons. They are delivered only by Caesarian, have small litter sizes, and usually need to be artificially inseminated.

Wonderfully. This is one reason the French Bulldog has been popular throughout the history of the breed. French Bulldogs like to be where you are and don’t take up too much space at all. It is good to get in a good walk as much as possible for overall health and exercise.

Are French Bulldogs sociable?

All dogs seem to do better with exposure to other aspects of life, other dogs, and people too. The French Bulldog should never be a mean, aggressive or a vicious animal. It is often recommended and a good idea to take your Frenchie visiting and to various places. This helps your dog be a better dog and not possibly overreact out of fear of the unknown. It also builds confidence and character in your dog. It gives you and the dog an easier time when separated or when traveling together.
Your Frenchie should NEVER be penned up for long stretches of time. He or she needs to be a part of your life.

Do Frenchies have breathing problems?

Sometimes you may find a Frenchie that is noisy or has labored breathing. They may have a longer tongue or an excessive soft palate that is obstructing their airway. Smaller nose openings can exaggerate their already noisy breathing characteristics. Note: Other symptoms of elongated soft palate are spitting up or regurgitating food or foam frequently. Consult your veterinarian for corrective alternatives.
