The beginning of the French Bulldog is in England, where it was bred as a smaller variant of the English Bulldog. It actually falls under the group of the French Mastiff dogs. In due course of time, the breed was mixed with the French Terrier and was known as the French Bulldog. Later, it became popular throughout the world.
The French Bulldog female usually has a litter of about 2 to 5 puppies. The puppy when born is very cute and lovable, with a flat face and bat like ears and grows to a height of about 11 to 13 inches. French Bulldog puppies must be inspected for elongated or cleft palate as this breed is prone to this type of disorder.
Even when young they are full of energy and playful. In as much as the adult French Bulldog is gentle with a pleasing personality, playful and funny, the French Bulldog puppy is even more so. The French Bulldog puppy is alert and attempts to stay close to those around it.
These puppies almost always get along well with other breeds of dogs, such as French poodles, and do not cause many problems in this aspect. These puppies do best with older children. These puppies cannot be subjected to rough play and it is better that they are kept from having contact with younger children.
Due to their intractable mentality, the French Bulldog puppies need habitual training. The males are aggressive and hence must be trained to obey commands from a very early stage.
Cruel methods must not be utilized to train the puppies, as they may have a negative effect on specific areas of their behavior. In addition to that, cruel treatment will definitely not bring good results. A person who trains a French Bulldog puppy should be highly patient.
The puppies do not shed very much and hence grooming is a simple, but necessary task. As they dribble a lot, frequent mouth washing is essential and should start early enough so that it becomes habitual as the puppy grows older.
As excessive stress may bring about breathlessness and other related problems, the French Bulldog puppy must abstain from a lot of exercise. Outside is not suitable for the puppy particularly when the weather is hot, as there are chances of being attacked by a heat stroke. It should be noted that the French Bulldog puppy is primarily an indoor animal.
The French Bulldog puppy is a fun and lively pet and forms a friendly companion. With the correct training techniques it can adapt well enough to become a useful dog.
