The French Bulldog

The French Bulldog (commonly nicknamed 'Frenchie') is a small breed of short haired companion dog. The breed is a cross between the English Bulldog and French Terriers (and other breeds that hunt rats) and came into existence in the early 1800s. The French Bulldog ranked as the 9th most popular breed in the USA and the 4th most popular breed in the United Kingdom in 2014! The French Bulldog comes in a wide variety of coat colorations including: fawn, cream, black, brindle, white and even blue (a light steely gray color). The French Bulldog should appear small, muscular, heavy boned, active, compactly built and have a smooth coat. They should also have a large square shaped head with a broad, deep and well laid back muzzle. A French Bulldog should have a short nose with broad and well defined nostrils. The breed also has a deep, broad and square under-jaw. The combination of the short nose and large under-jaw makes the French Bulldog a breed that is prone to drooling!
