The French Bulldog is a charming, adaptable companion with distinctive bat ears and a compact, muscular build. Frenchies are playful, alert, and irresistibly adorable. They thrive in city environments and are excellent apartment dogs.
History & Origins
French Bulldogs descended from English Bulldogs that were brought to France by lace workers during the Industrial Revolution. Parisian society embraced the smaller bulldogs, and French breeders developed their signature bat ears. The breed gained American popularity in the late 1800s.
