French Bulldogs pack a big personality into a compact frame, and they have a real talent for staying close to their favorite humans. Frenchies are affectionate, funny, and content with moderate exercise—perfect for city apartments. That short muzzle and sturdy body does make them sensitive to heat and overexertion, so keep exercise balanced. Train calmly and give them plenty of social time, and your Frenchie will become a devoted family member who greets the whole neighborhood.
French Bulldogs developed from small bulldog types brought to France by English workers, where they were crossed and refined into today’s distinctive bat-eared companion.
