What’s a French Bulldog?
I’d never heard of the French bulldog until I started to get a lot of searches on my website, so I thought I should investigate it.
Evidently these dogs were bred by bulldog owners in the UK.
They were small – from 16-28 pounds in weight, and many artisans preferred them, especially lacemakers.
When these artisans moved to France to expand their business, they took their small bulldogs with them – which became known as Frenchies.
Evenutually Americans who saw these bulldogs in France fancied them, and imported them into the USA.
They are well-loved worldwide and make an excellent companion.

Evidently the French bulldog puppies are delightful, and as they mature, are perfect companions for all ages. In fact, they are used in nursing homes and hospices for patients – someone for them to cuddle and love, and to look forward to seeing on a regular basis. Pets are often used by hospitals to improve the health of patients.
