💖 Personality & Behavior

Frenchies are little comedians! They love to play and be silly. They're also champion cuddlers and love sitting on your lap. They might snore louder than your dad, but that just makes them more lovable! They're brave little dogs who think they're much bigger than they really are! 😄

🍖 Food & Treats

French Bulldogs love their meals! They need special small-breed dog food because they have tiny tummies. They can be messy eaters with their flat faces, so meal time might be entertaining! Just the right amount of food keeps them healthy and happy. 🍖

🎾 Play & Activities

Favorite Games & Activities:

  • Short walks
  • Gentle tug games
  • Indoor fetch
  • Puzzle toys
  • Cuddle time

Frenchies enjoy short playtimes! They're not marathon runners - more like sprint champions! A few short walks and play sessions each day make them happy. They LOVE toys and indoor games. Remember, they can't swim well and don't like super hot weather, so keep playtime cool and fun! 🎮

🏡 Living Environment

French Bulldogs are PERFECT for apartments! They don't need a huge yard - they'd rather be on your couch anyway! They prefer air conditioning over hot summer days and love cozy spots. They're quiet neighbors who won't bark too much. City life or country life - as long as they're with you, they're happy! 🏙️
