If you’re thinking of getting a French bulldog as your companion, you should! Read on to learn some of the many reasons these dogs have slobbered their way into the hearts of dog lovers nationwide. These facts about French bulldogs will get you more excited about this breed than ever.
1. English Roots
No one is completely sure where French bulldogs came from, but most dog lovers and scientists believe that their origins can be found in England. It’s likely that they were bred from larger English bulldogs; a toy version of this large and heavy breed was popular with seamstresses who used them as lap warmers while they worked. When the lace industry moved to France, these women brought their pups along with them.
2. Two Different Ear Styles
One of the facts about French bulldogs that some French bulldog owners don’t even know is that they have two different styles of ears. French bulldogs in Europe had and still, to some extent, have rounded ears. Americans much prefer the pointed-eared version.
3. No Swimming
French bulldogs can’t swim, so don’t make them. Due to the shape of their face, they cannot keep their nose above water so they can breathe. Keep an eye on your French bulldog near swimming pools and near any bodies of water to keep him or her safe.

4. Nine Colors
Frenchies come in a wide variety of colors. They’re all cute, but some are more popular with owners and breeders than others. You can find Frenchies in brindle, brindle and white, white and brindle, fawn, fawn and white, white and fawn, fawn brindle, white, and cream. Those colors may all sound very similar, but they are recognized as different colors by the AKC.
5. Very Sensitive
French bulldogs have quite a personality, and one of those personality traits is high sensitivity. If you scold a French bulldog, he or she will likely react with sadness and embarrassment. They tend to respond much more positively to positive reinforcement and praise, so keep that in mind when training.
6. Breeding Help Required
French bulldogs don’t breed like other dogs. The vast majority of French bulldog puppies are conceived through artificial insemination and are delivered through cesarean section. This is a big part of why Frenchie puppies are so expensive. You can learn more about cost and breeding in this guide.
