French Bulldog Temperament
French bulldogs are very easy-going pups and are considered the ultimate lap dog. They absolutely love being around their family, so much so that they’ll follow you around the house as you go through your daily routine without making a peep. The French bulldog temperament is one-of-a-kind, switching from couch potato to an Indy 500 racer.
Just as long as they’re spending time with you, they’re quite content. French bulldogs are freethinkers and will do what they want, which can sometimes help or hinder their training.
French Bulldog Health
This breed is sensitive to heat and prone to breathing issues due to the structure of their signature wrinkled face, getting to hot can kill a French Bulldog.
So keep an eye on the temperature of your home and pay close attention to your pup when you are playing in the sun or getting in that 15-20 minute daily walk on hotter days.
What to Expect Living with French Bulldog PuppiesFrench bulldogs are considered one of the best indoor dog breeds and best dogs for apartment living. They love playing and going on walks, but they aren’t a very active dog which is perfect for apartment dwellers. One minute they’ll be resting on the couch with you and the next you’ll see them running laps around the house with their short, but powerful bodies (not for long though since they’re such low energy pups).
Your Frenchie is all about human contact and it’s very easy for them to form a bond with both people and dogs, so visitors are always welcome and socializing with other pups is a must. Frenchies generally sleep for about 12 to 14 hours a day when they reach maturity, but as a pup, expect up to 18 hours a day.
Preparing for your French Bulldog PuppyAs soon as you bring your French bulldog puppy home, you’ll immediately get into training your pup in the ways of the house, crate and potty training.
