Frenchie Facts
It is believed that the Frenchie’s origin was from a English Bulldog and a toy breed. The goal was to create a lap dog. The breed was taken to France from England by lacemakers. In 1897 the French Bulldog Club of America was formed. In 1898 the first French bulldog Specialty show was held at the Waldorf-Astoria.
Frenchies love to be the center of attention. training can be easy if you make it fun. It has always been our experience that the bully breeds are intelligent, but very stubborn. Playtime is probably a frenchie’s favorite activity. It is very important to begin socializing your frenchie from a very early age. We take our puppy to visit the neighbors and friends. This way they are exposed to different people of all ages, including children and the neighbors pets. Always keep a close eye when around children or other animals. not only for their protection, but for your frenchies safety as well.
One of the things we love about the breed is that they require very little grooming, exercise, and overall maintenence. They are very active in play and enjoy going out for a walk. They also enjoy a nap on your lap just as much. They love being part of the family.
Helpful Hints
If you want a Frenchie to breed because you think you will make money, then you are making a mistake. Breeding should not be taken lightly. If you still think you want to breed, then the following tips may be helpful.
We cannot stress enough that breeding your Frenchie should be taken very serious. This is not an easy process. The well being of your Frenchie is the most important thing to consider. Do not breed without first educating yourself. Talk to experienced breeders, your vet, and read all that you can on the subject. It is very important to have a good vet that you know and trust. We could never have breed Bulldogs for the past twenty years if we didn’t have our vet by our side. We have become friends with a mutual respect for one another. This is priceless!
You should breed for health and temperment. Breeding can be very expensive. It can involve artificial inseminating, and a guaranteed C-section. It is important to give proper diet and exercise during pregnancy. Once the pups are born is when the real work begins…. You must be prepared to help nurse the pups every 2-3 hours for the first week.
