How to take care of French Bulldogs

They have a wide range of vocabulary.  They’ll snort, bark, yodel, scream, or sound like the puppy in this video.  French Bulldogs are very social.  They have to be around people.  This is not someone to leave at home for a long time.  They love everyone, so you may not feel like they are yours and yours along, but they will love you best.

Do keep them away from heat.  Because of their flat face, heat stress can make their throat swell, and restrict air flow.  They can actually die from overheating easily.

The French Bulldog cannot swim because they are top heavy.  They’ll sink unless their feet can touch the bottom of the “pool.”  If you have a pool, consider another breed.  And if you have a Frenchie that is fond of water, put a life jacket on him and supervise him the whole time he is in the water.

If you are looking for a French Bulldog, consider adopting one from a rescue organization or shelter.  Many purebred dogs are there because their previous owners may not know what they were getting into, or a baby comes along, and they don’t know how to prepare the dog for the new arrival, and other reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the dog.

Actually, adopting an adult French Bulldog would let you see what you are getting.  A puppy requires a lot more care and training.  You can read more about this topic here.  Enjoy listening to this talkative French Bulldog’s most amusing sound.
