If You Want to Own a Unique Pet, Try a French Bulldog

French Bulldogs are unusual in many ways. They are not your typical dog. They are very catlike in their action and appearance as well, with those big bat ears. They also make kitty noises until they develop a real dog bark. It is really like having the best of both worlds, a catdog. They are little jiggly bundles of love that just want to please their person or people. They easily learn to do tricks and are very entertaining.

Frenchies are also very vocal but not obnoxious barkers. They growl, grunt, gurgle and meow as well as snorting, snoring and yes, even whistling in their sleep. These can be very endearing traits, however they do have one trait nobody enjoys, they are gassy at times and it can make your toes curl. Our female, who should be sweet and feminine can pack a whale of an aroma. The Male doesn't have this problem, though most do. It can be obnoxious but it does make it easier to "blame it on the dog." See, everything about a Frenchie is really truly good!

Since getting a French Bulldog I can truly say they are my favorite breed. Having a pet that is satisfied to follow you from room to room just to be with you, is so sweet. I am not saying they are never naughty. Our little female is a sneaky little girl. If she comes to you with her ears down looking guilty, you can be pretty sure you will find something she thinks you are going to be mad about. Like if she has an accident on the floor or chews up a piece of paper. She is still quite young and not through her puppy behavior stages yet. With Frenchies one must be very patient as they sometimes take longer to house train than other breeds.

When it comes to breeding, there is a misconception. They may require artificial insemination but this is not carved in stone. Ours are free breeders, which means they are capable of breeding naturally. It has also been said they must have a c-section. Ours also have natural birth. We may own the exceptions to the rule but it is possible. The breeding problems that are often encountered is the reason the breed is very expensive to purchase.

We don't know what to expect from our new pair when it comes time to breed them. It will be an interesting adventure breeding these gorgeous little darlings.
