The French Bulldog or Frenchie is a small, muscular and fairly active member of the bulldog breed. This chunky breed is characterized by its erect bat-shaped ears. Frenchies have a short, smooth, shiny and dense coat. Coat colors can be roan but are usually fawn and white with streaked patches or tiger markings. These dogs stand 11 to 14 inches tall at shoulder height and weigh from 17 to 26 pounds.
French Bulldogs should live from 10 to 12 years and like most short-faced dogs they can suffer from respiratory problems. One other concern is that the Frenchie’s protruding eyes are susceptible to lacerations and other injuries.
Grooming: You should brush their coats occasionally with a rubber brush to remove loose hair. French Bulldog’s ears need to be cleaned and the creases on their face need to be treated with vaseline.
Frenchies are temperature sensitive and must be protected from overheating during the summer and cold during the winter. These Bulldogs are prone to gaining weight and should be walked regularly for exercise. This breed makes a perfect apartment dog. French Bulldogs can not swim and will drown if they fall in a pool.
Temperament: French Bulldogs are one of the nicest, most amusing and amiable of all dog breeds. The Frenchie is a perfect apartment dog that is clean, easy to groom and sheds very little. This Bulldog is easy to train and doesn’t require a lot of exercise. Frenchies like to be the centre of attention but do make good family pets and will tolerate children. These Bulldogs will do best with an older couple without children or other pets to compete for their affection. This breed is entirely suitable for novice or first-time dog owners. French Bulldogs can even adapt to being left alone during the day if they receive lots of attention before and after work.
" YOUR SMALL-PUPPY BREEDS DIET." Buy a high quality dry puppy food that is specially for small dogs. Commercial dog food manufacturer's spend millions of dollars researching dog nutritional needs so products are nutritionally complete and balancedA good puppy food should have vitamins, minerals and ratio of fat to protein to carbohydrates. It should have high levels of phosphorous, calcium and be highly digestible so it can absorb nutrients. Dry dog food is also good for dental health. Check local pet store for best premium dog foods. Ask your breeder or veterinaian for recommends. A puppy requires twice the amount of nutrients per pound of body weight than adult dogs. A 6 pound puppy needs 47 calories per pound of body wieght. Check manufacturer's recommendations for the amount to give him. PUPPY FOOD Be sure to match puppy food with size of puppy and life stage he is in. Tiny toy dogs don't have very big mouths so you will need small kibble size food. Small dogs need food for rapid growth development for bones and muscles. In general, their fastest growth is the first six months depending on the breed. Feed your puppy 3-4 times a day. After 8 weeks go to twice a day. Small dog breeds reach (most of them) adult weight at 9-12 months. If he is fussy and doesn't want to eat try rehydrating his food with a little hot water. He must enjoy his food so he will eat it! Don't give a small dog breed table food. This is not a complete and balanced diet for them. You can give them puppy treats but don't exceed 10% of their total diet. Make your house safe for your puppy before you pick him up. Put household chemicals, poisonous plants and small objects out of sight. Remember to remove valuable or sentimental items out of reach until he is out of the chewing stage. Get electrial cords and wiring out of reach or in flexible plastic tubing. Have a place for him to exercise, either an exercise pen or yard. Puppy proof your yard by being sure the fence and gate are sturdy. Check for gaps in the hedges and under the hedges or fence. Your puppy should be at least 8 weeks old, some older depending on the breed, when you bring him home. For example, a Maltese puppy should be 12 weeks old before you bring him home. If you bring him home to soon he will have separation anxiety - he is use to having his parents and litter mates around him. Some breeds aren't ready to be weaned from their mother yet or moving around enough yet to leave the kennel.
What kind of diet should your puppy or small-dog breed be on? First of all don't switch food that he has been eating after you get him home. Leave him on it for 2-3 weeks then start mixing the two if you decide to switch otherwise he could develop diarrhea.
