THE MOST ADORABLE FRENCHIE WITH A HUGE SMILE. WHAT ABOUT FRENCH BULL DOGS :
* Frenchies have been fancied by a few very famous  individuals throughout history including King Edward VII,  Toulouse-Lautrec, the family of Tsar Nicholas Romanov and Empress  Aleksandra, and the author Colette.
 An unfortunate French Bulldog was a passenger on the 
Titanic.  It is said that the dog was insured for $750!  An enormous amount at that time (1912)
* French Bulldogs were in the top 
5 most popular dog breeds between 1909-1914.
Originally Frenchies had both “bat” (the upright, rounded ears we  are used to) and “tulip” ears (folded over ears).  It was American  fanciers of the breed who insisted that the “bat” ears were actually the  correct confirmation, which carried over into the 
breed standard. 
* French Bulldogs come in a multitude of colors.  According to the AKC standard, recognized colors include brindle, fawn,  white, brindle and white, and any color except those which result in  disqualification.  Colors that result in disqualification are solid  black, mouse, liver, black and tan, black and white, and white with  black.
* Because of their Bull and Terrier roots, some  Frenchies can be prone to dog aggression.  Often this comes in the form  of dislike of the same gender (but not always).  Socializing young  French Bulldog 
puppies with other dogs is always a good idea.  
Spaying and Neutering can also aid in curbing hormone based dominance.
* French Bulldogs can be stubborn during 
training, but they respond well to positive reinforcement.  Make 
training into a game and you’ll have more success!
Frenchies are 
companion dogs  and thus make great companions for apartment dwellers.  They do require  a few short walks a day and will be happy playing in the house.  They  will be happier relaxing with you on the couch!
 French Bulldogs are generally 
good with children,  but because of their compact, muscular nature they can knock unsteady  youngsters over.  Any dog should be monitored with young children. 
* Most French Bulldogs 
snore due to their flat faces.
French Bulldogs can NOT live outdoors!  Because of their 
brachiocephalic (short nosed) build they are unable to regulate their body temperature and can easily overheat.  Care must be taken to 
keep them cool  in the hotter months.  They are better off walked in the cool hours of  the day then left at home to hang out in the comfort of the A/C or a  fan. 
* Care must be taken to keep your Frenchie safe if  you have a pool.  Because the breed is quite top heavy, they have a very  hard time swimming and will often drown.  Pools need to be secured and  devices to alert that your pet has fallen in can be placed on the  collar. Pet life vests are also a safe way to protect your pet from  drowning.  Pets should never be left unattended poolside.
French Bulldogs have earned the nickname 
“Frog Dogs” due to the way they lay with their back legs splayed out behind them.
