French Bulldog
The Frenchie shares many of the traits that made its bulldog
ancestors so successful in the bull-baiting arena: low center of gravity, wide
body, heavy bone, muscular build and large, square head. It has soft loose skin
forming wrinkles about the head and shoulders. Unlike the bulldog, it has an
alert, curious expression, which is aided by its bar ears. Also, unlike the
bulldog, its movement is unrestrained and free, with reach and drive. It is a
hardy, entertaining home companion and a solid lap dog.
The French bulldog is a clown in a lap dog. It enjoys playing and entertaining its family, as well as cuddling and snoozing with its favorite person. It is amiable, sweet, companionable and willing to please.
