A Few Bits Of Information On The Frenchie Dog

By Brian Hall


Pet ownership is something that is understated most of the time, for you can never find a status that can give you much joy and contentment while you live. Pets in the form of cats and dogs have given companionship to many people, and you may have been convinced of giving it a try. While in Ohio, you may have been thinking of getting a Frenchie dog once you saw some signs and advertisements. Before you do commit, then please read on in this article.

The French bulldog breed is what is referred to when talking about the frenchie. It is a dog breed that can trace its roots all the way down to the Greek era as a fighting dog in the blood sport of bull baiting, thus its name. Widely dispersed throughout Europe by Phoenician traders during the popularity of the sport, it later was turned into a pet when the sport was outlawed. Today in the USA, according to the American Kennel Club, it is the 6th most popular in terms of dog breeds.

Smart, adaptable and very playful are some of the adjectives used to describe this breed. It is also one that demands and craves a whole lot of attention, more than the usual for other dogs. If it feels it lacks the requisite love and care, it will let out a ululating sound which many call or label as the French death yodel.

Energy wise many will rate this dog as having a medium level of energy. It is also however capable of sitting around the whole day, even in quite small spaces. It is a good pet to have if you live in a small apartment or even a condominium, but you should at least give it a daily walk of at least thirty minutes to let it go of pent up energy.

This breed is much smaller than the English bulldog and has a smaller girth, and more compact body with smaller legs. It also has a set of uniquely erect ears. It lacks the alpha male dispositions of the English bulldog and thus much safer to keep around small children or even other animals in the home. This sometimes makes it more popular than the English variety of bulldog.

Its snub nose alongside a more compact airway due to its physical size will give it a unique health complication. It will have trouble regulating its core body temperature and thus must be kept in a temperate climate. There have been instances of death when this breed is exposed to extreme temperatures, such as heat and cold, which can occur in tropical and subarctic climates respectively.

Eight to ten years is the average lifespan one can expect for this breed if you plan to own one. With the proper diet, health maintenance and regime one can still expect to extend this a bit so it may be a good idea to talk with the vet for some tips on this.

In sum the article has covered some concerns that you should be aware of before taking on this pet. Never take on a pet uninformed about its breed, quirks, personality, upkeep information and the like so as not to regret it later. Remember that taking on a pet is basically a lifelong commitment and responsibility.
