French Bulldog

The French Bulldog has enjoyed a long history as a companion dog. Created in England to be a miniature Bulldog, they accompanied English lace makers to France, where they acquired their “Frenchie” moniker.

Although this is a purebred dog breed, you may find them in shelters and rescues. Opt to adopt if you can!

Besides being companions, they once served as excellent ratters, but today their job focuses on being fabulous family friends and show dogs. Even apartment dwellers and first-time pet parents will love this affectionate breed.

Dog Time recommends this carrier for traveling with your small French Bulldog. You should also pick up this dog brush and massager for your short-haired pup!
