When looking for a French bulldog puppy, you must do your research first.

The French bulldog puppy is perfect if you’re looking for a small, playful, and cuddly pet. These beguiling puppies love to play and then snuggle on their owner’s lap to take a nap.

They will not get taller than 13 inches at the shoulder, making them an excellent choice for city tenants. It doesn’t take a lot of room to keep a Frenchie blissful.

The French bulldog makes an extraordinary pet for city occupants living in mild and dry environments.

This breed has a great character, and they make awesome allies for families, youngsters, and older people.

French bulldog puppies are easy to care for and simple to please, flourishing with human contact.

French bulldog puppy appearance 

The French bulldog is a charming dog breed with a small, proportional body. They have strong muscles, except for the skin around their face and shoulders, which can be wrinkled.

Frenchies usually come in colors like cream, fawn, and white; however, they can also have brindle patterns or black coats. They have brown eyes and a cute ‘squished up’ face.

Their smooth, glossy coats require periodic brushing to remain clean and reduce shedding. A fully-grown French bulldog typically weighs 28 pounds, making them the smaller version of an average bulldog (which can weigh up to 50 pounds).

Getting a French bulldog puppy

Puppyhood is an important time in a French bulldog’s life. It’s a crucial period of growth and development, and you must choose the right breeder.

Do your research to ensure you’re getting a healthy, well-bred puppy. According to the American Kennel Club, many dogs are surrendered to shelters yearly because their owners don’t understand what they are getting.

Be a responsible pet parent by learning all you can about French bulldogs and what it takes to care for them.

A few key differences exist between adopting a dog from a breeder and adopting one from a rescue.

One of the main advantages of going through a rescue is that most dogs have already been spayed or neutered. This can save you time and money on vet bills down the road.

Additionally, many pet rescues microchip dogs before adoption, so you can be sure your new furry friend will be easy to locate if they ever get lost.

You may also find a French bulldog mix with all the traits you’re looking for in the breed, with just a little extra personality thrown in.

Choosing a breeder

When looking for a French bulldog puppy, it’s essential to do your research. Unfortunately, puppy mills masquerade as legitimate breeders, so it’s crucial to understand what you need.

Join online forums and chatrooms dedicated to discussing Frenchies, and reach out to breeders directly to ask questions.

Make sure to visit the breeder in person, meet the parent dogs or mother, and trust your gut instinct. If something seems off at a breeder you visit, or the French bulldog puppy seems too good to be true, chances are something is off.

Various sources also offer resources for finding a reputable breeder with strict participation standards.

Final thoughts on adopting a French bulldog puppy

Brushing your Frenchie’s coat weekly is the best way to keep it looking its best.

They’ll only need a bath once a month, focusing on their kinks to ensure they don’t get dirty. You should also regularly check their skin for sores or scabs and see a vet if anything looks unusual.

Like many breeds, Frenchies need to learn how to socialize from an early age.

They can be very protective and possessive of their owners. As they are descended from Bulldogs, Frenchies get along perfectly with new people and other dogs or cats.
