Things To Know Before Visiting French Bulldog Breeders Missouri

By Margaret Harris


The reason that you may be considering getting a pet right now is that you require companionship, or you have noticed your friends with pets that they seem to be a lot happier and content. Someone might have recommended a cat, a dog or even a parakeet. Yet maybe someone has also recommended you get a french bully or bulldog. However, before you go and run to the nearest French Bulldog Breeders Missouri, you should know a little more about the breed before you adopt or buy one.

This breed is one that can boast an ancient lineage going back all the way to the ancient Greeks. During the time, this and similar mastiff breeds were bred to feed the ever growing demand for dogs being used in bull baiting, a blood sport using bulls versus dogs. Phoenician traders were responsible for its distribution through much of the European continent until the sport was outlawed and deemed illegal. Thus the unemployed mastiffs were later on adopted as non sporting companions.

This bulldog breed is very much similar to its English cousin, the English bulldog. It is very much smaller and compact with a wider girth and short legs. Most of the time it sports more erect ears. It is also much more docile and has a gentler disposition and does not show much aggressive tendencies, making it safe to be around children and other animals.

A lot will attest to it being a lovable companion, and one that also craves and wants attention always. If not given its attention cravings it will make a yodeling sound, which others will term as the French death yodel. They are very protective, more particularly so for the females, when it comes to their young and those they love or care for.

Another similarity to its English cousin is that it does very well in staying and living in small areas and spaces. Thus this makes a great companion and pet who live in small apartments or even condos. They are quite comfortable being inactive a majority of the time. They still do need their dose of exercise, and it is recommended that a daily walk of around thirty minutes should suffice. This ability to stay indoors for a long time can make this as one of the ultimate indoor dogs.

The rather small size of the French bully lends to it having a more compact airway, and couple with its snub nose, leads to the condition of it having a hard time regulating body temperature in extreme temperature conditions. Most have died from cold due to its thin coat and others also from extreme heat. It is not a breed to live in extreme climates. It is preferable that it lives in temperate environments and zones.

As it ages, this dog will have its share of eye related problems and conditions. It also has a fairly short lifespan of only around eight to ten years. It will definitely be up to a caring and vigilant owner in determining how much longer they can extend their life spans.

Thus this article has outlined a bit of basic information about what you need to know about this type of dog. Prior to your final decision, do make additional research to galvanize your choice for a new pet and companion.
