French Bull Dogs History, Facts and Care...
French Bull Dogs are a sturdy compact
breed originally bred as a companion. Cousin
to the English Bull Dog, their origins are still
a topic of debate.
After the sport of Bull Baiting was outlawed
fans of The English Bulldog took smaller,
gentler specimens of the English Bull Dog and
combined them with the The Pug, resulting in
French Bull Dogs.

Living Space and Exercising
Slightly smaller than their English cousins,
they can adapt to various living quarters,
they enjoy exercise more than the English but
still be careful in excessive heat. They are
also slightly more susceptible to heat stroke
than most other breeds.
Grooming
Fairly low maintenance compared to the English
Bull Dog, a weekly brushing will suffice. Their
wrinkles aren't nearly as deep as the English
so a weekly cleaning or check will do.
