The French Bulldog

But what will this puppy for we all love it? Will your pointy ears?, Do their huge bulging eyes? o look so expressive that seems to come to talk?

I honestly do not know what it is, but clearly it has become one of the most fashionable pets lately.

 The French BulldogThe French bulldog, that’s how it is known, has a yet undetermined origin. The French say it is from him and the British say it is a direct descendant of the English bulldog. The latter has no doubt, but he thinks it was mixed with the French Bulldog, so we could say that the origin is divided between the two countries.

Although I imagine that you have seen hundreds of them on the street, I will say that the French Bulldog is small in size, can weigh between 8 and 14 kilos. It is physically strong and robust. They have a very short nose and flat nose. Their pointed ears are always raised and have large eyes, black and slightly bulging. They are small tail and her hair is fine and short. Colors can be black, white, or the result of combining both.

The French Bulldog is a dog loving, sociable and, because of its small size, an animal that we have at home easily. It is also true that it is a guard dog so we’ll have to watch that does not get too jealous of their own.

Another thing we have to take into account is the power to control them because they have a strong tendency to overweight. They love to eat and are fairly easygoing. In addition, although the flat face makes you look like that so funny and fun, can in turn become one of its major problems.

Many of these animals may have what is known as brachycephalic syndrome that can cause breathing problems. So if we neglect their diet and too fat, you still have more difficulty moving and breathing normally. To treat this symptom also should not be obliged to do much exercise and not exposed to high temperatures and humid climates.

So if after reading all this information, you’ve opted for yourself with one of these sweet pets, I suggest you first visit the shelters in your city for sure more than one waiting. And for more information on care and behavior, consult your regular veterinarian.
