Frenchies
This affectionate and playful French Bulldog —known for its wrinkly, smushy face and bat-like ears—is a great companion for single pet owners and families with young children. They need little exercise and grooming and are incredibly loyal to their people. Because of their stubborn nature, they require patience during training but are incredibly intelligent and eager to please. As a breeder, I ensure that our French Bulldog puppies are pee pad trained and well-socialized when they go to their fur-ever homes.

Temperament
While good at alerting their owners to danger, their primary role is that of a lap warmer. The Frenchie requires minimal exercise. A crate-trained puppy is easier to housebreak. A dog regards its crate as its den, a haven, and a home. If you travel, the dog is safest in his crate in your vehicle and when you stay in hotels or visit other people.

This will get him accustomed to being around other dogs and people. It will teach him how to communicate his wishes and the basics of walking well on a lead, sitting, staying, and coming on command. However cute and cuddly-looking, a French Bulldog has a big personality and needs adequate training to become a civilized companion. Contrary to the stereotype of “stubborn,” most Frenchies strive to please their owners and are, therefore, very trainable with the proper motivation (usually food).
