Some Info Before Visiting A French Bulldog Breeder WA

By Jerry Long


Many people these days are acquiring canines, or dogs, as pets and companions. Many are choosing the French bulldog and you probably have a mind to getting this breed now that you live in Seattle WA. Thus before you do go and visit the closest French bulldog breeder WA, then please do finish this article for some information that may be useful for you.

In short, the breed is sometimes lovingly called a frenchie by enthusiasts and breeders alike. Comparing it with is cousin the English bulldog, one will immediately see that it is much smaller with a more compact and rounder body and smaller legs. Its face, when looked at directly from the front will appear quite bat like, probably because of the presence of 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.

The frenchie is quite safe to keep around children and other animals or even dogs. This is because it lacks the typical alpha behavior present in most bulldogs, particularly the English variety. It surprisingly exhibits a more maternal and protective demeanor over those that it cares for.

When you finally do visit a breeder then make a good ocular inspection of what is going on in the compound. See if the animals are well kept and clean and taken cared of. Also try to gauge the attitude of the breeder and see if he or she is in the business not purely for profit but they also do genuinely care for the animals, which is an attitude absent in a puppy mill.
