About Frenchies
The French Bulldog is a sturdy small Bulldog with large,
bat-like ears, a flat muzzle and pug nose. Their skin is soft and fairly loose, making the dog very pleasant to pet. Their
square flat head is not as massive as the English Bulldog's and their forehead is rounded giving it the appearance of
an active, intelligent, muscular dog with a smooth coat. The French Bulldog makes a wonderful companion to small children
and in a family situations this little dog behaves like a child, demanding a great deal of personal attention and interaction.
