French Bulldog Puppies For Sale in South Florida

French Bulldogs are one of the most popular small-dog breeds in the world, especially among city dwellers, because of their beauty, charm, and even temperament. Frenchies are affectionate, well-behaved, versatile, and comfy companions. They are generally attentive, playful, and active, but not excessively so. Except for the large, erect 'bat ears' that are the breed's distinctive trait, they look like miniature Bulldogs. Heavy wrinkles wrap above their unusually small noses, and their heads are broad and square. Frenchies are as joyful as they can be after a short walk and some backyard activity! Frenchies adapt nicely to living in an apartment because they don't demand a lot of space or excessive exercise. These dogs will expect you to include them in your daily life. They adore people and desire to be in constant contact with them. Because French Bulldogs are sensitive to temperature extremes, they should not be kept outside in extremely hot or cold weather for long periods of time. Fortunately, French Bulldogs are wonderful indoor dogs who are perfectly content to curl up on a dog bed or couch and feel fully at ease.

The French Bulldog is a small dog breed that originated in France. In the 1800s, a cross between bulldog ancestors imported from England and local ratters in Paris (France) resulted in the creation of Frenchies. They were the fourth most popular registered dog in the United Kingdom in 2014, and the ninth most popular in the United States. The current French Bulldog descends directly from the canines of the ancient Greek tribe of the Molossians. Phoenician traders disseminated the dogs throughout the ancient world. Their ancestors were originally bull-baiting breeds. In 1835, blood games like this were forbidden in England, leaving these "Bulldogs" jobless. However, they had been bred for non-sporting reasons since at least 1800, and so their purpose changed from a sporting breed to a companion breed. Some Bulldogs were mixed with terriers, while others were crossed with pugs to decrease their size. The Toy Bulldog had become popular in England by 1850. Lace workers from Nottingham, displaced by the Industrial Revolution, began to relocate in Normandy, France, around the same period. They were accompanied by a number of dogs, including miniature Bulldogs. These dogs were popular in France, and a market for small imported Bulldogs arose, with breeders in England sending over dogs that they deemed to be too small or with defects such as standing ears. The little Bulldog type was eventually recognized as a breed and given the name Bouledogue Francais. This contraction of the words "boule" (ball) and "dogue" is a Francization of the English name (mastiff or molosser). The dogs were extremely stylish, and society ladies as well as creatives such as artists, writers, and fashion designers coveted them. However, as the breed strayed further from its Bulldog beginnings, no records of its evolution were recorded. As the breed evolved, terrier and Pug stock may have been introduced to generate qualities like the breed's long, straight ears and wide eyes.
