Basic Info Before You Visit A French Bulldog Breeder WA

By Jerry Long


Nowadays quite a lot of people are getting dogs as pets, and many are getting French bulldogs as their companion of choice. Perhaps it also has tickled your fancy to get this kind of dog and as you are now living in Seattle WA you are now raring to visit the nearest French bulldog breeder WA. However, prior to buying a puppy, do read on in this article for some information that you may find useful in making your final decision and commitment.

This breed is popularly called frenchie in short, and when compared to the English bulldog, the frenchie is definitely much smaller. It has a rounder and more compact body with smaller legs, while it also sports a more bat like appearance due to its ears that are always erect.

Being of a smaller size the frenchie is naturally designed for small house living, so it is a boon for small apartment and condominium dwellers. It does have a bit of energy, most owners saying it will have an energy rating of around medium. Despite this fairly notable level of energy it is also quite content to go long periods without any activity much like its English counterpart. However, it is recommended that you do give it at least a 30 minute walk outside everyday for it to dissipate pent up restlessness and such.

Because of its small and compact airway that is coupled with its pug nose, this breed will have problems with the regulation of its core body temperature. Due to this, this dog is best kept in areas with a temperate climate rather than extreme climates like tropical or sub arctic. Extreme temperature conditions can actually kill this kind dog. Thus this is not the dog for you unless you can modify the existing climatic conditions it has to live in to survive.

A lifespan of around 8 to 10 years is the average for this breed, which is quite short. As it progresses in age it will develop some cataracts in its eyes that it will need attending to Regular check ups and proper maintenance as prescribed by your vet should enable you to add a bit more time to its short lifespan.

It is according to owners of this breed an attention monger extreme. It craves more than one hundred per cent of your attention at all times and if it is disappointed it will let out a fairly horrible ululating sound which has come to be known as a French Death Yodel. Thus be prepared to give this dog a lot of attention if your heart is really intent on it.

It is a breed that lacks the alpha male behavior seen in the English bulldog, that is to say that it is not a bully, no pun intended. It can live quite well along with other animals and is safe to keep with children for it exhibits a maternal instinct for those it cares for.

Once you do decide on visiting any of the breeders in the area, do make sure to make an ocular inspection of facilities when you are there. The animals that they keep must be well cared for, and glean any initial conversations to see if they really care for their animals rather than just breed them for profit.
