The French Bulldog also affectionately known as, the Frenchie, Frenchie puppies, appeared during the 19th Century in Nottingham, England as a smaller version of the English Bulldog and is often referred to as the Toy English Bulldog. The purpose was to make a smaller, miniature, lap dog with similar characteristics to that of its ancestor.
Appearance and Grooming
With its dark eyes that are set wide apart, broad and deep muzzle, large bat ears, black or lighter nose and thick upper lips that hang down over the lower lips, this dog is supported by its strong and heavy bones. It has medium fine coat which is short and smooth. Its skin is loose and forms wrinkles around the head and shoulders. Its coat is brindle, brindle and white, cream or cream and white, fawn or fawn and white, fawn brindle, white, white and brindle, white and fawn, black, black and fawn, black and white, fawn and black, fawn brindle and white or gray and white. It also can have black, brindle or white markings or spots of colors. It needs little grooming and regular brushing as it is an average shedder. Your new puppy will also need regular nail clippings, ear cleanings and, more often, a face cleaning.
Temperament
This funny little puppy is known for being a class clown of sorts. They enjoy playing and entertaining their family, as well as cuddling and snoozing with their favorite person. They are sociable, sweet, and fun loving with a bit of a stubborn streak.
Family and Companionship
Bred for centuries as a companion, they are particular fond of people, and become extremely attached to their families. Though they make for the perfect companion, they are not the best choice for someone who works long hours or spends a lot of time away from home.
Exercise
This sturdy and spirited breed needs daily walks and plenty of active play to burn off energy, but do keep it away from the water as these dogs aren’t known to swim well if a tall. They are sensitive to hot and cold weather and so they will need proper protection from the elements when playing outdoors.
Training and Socialization
These dogs are very smart, and training them is easy as long as you make it seem like a game and keep it fun. Their playful and sometimes stubborn nature is not ideal for training them for agility or obedience competitions, as they are free thinkers and spirits. Its temperament requires a calm, but firm, patient and consistent trainer who can manage a proper communication with it. Training session should be short and full of praise and rewards.

I spent a lot of time researching sites and getting discouraged reading about the scams out there when trying to purchase a puppy online. I came across Premier Pups site and read everything I could and all of the positive reviews. When I saw the picture of my French Bulldog Bijou, I knew he was the one. I contemplated the purchase all day before pressing the purchase button. Although there was a little obstacle in getting him, Bijou was mine by the end of the week. A special thanks to Mike for making that happen and for the genuine care he had in making sure my puppy was doing well before and after I received him. My family and I are very happy with our new addition and that Premier Pups made that happen.

We purchased Nova a week ago and she is the spunkiest, loving little Frenchie. We have laughed more, smiled more and love every second of her snorts. The process was so easy and the service was outstanding. They took the time to answer all of our questions, explained everything to us. We took her to her first vet check and she’s healthy and happy. Staff even called to check in on her. Nova made my dreams come true and I love every second I get to spend with her. Thank you Premier Pups for being awesome and giving us our first baby!

Hello - We agreed to buy my son a puppy when he made Eagle Scout-who knew he'd do it at 13! So after searching tons of shelters and websites looking for a small dog , we fell in love with Scouts face and quickly purchased her. Within 2 days she was flown in a private jet to a local town. The owners helped surprise my son with the puppy. It was great to see his face. She came with a LOT of medications and instructions and I was very worried. People doub bted me buying a dog on the internet. But she got a clean bill of health from the vet on her first visit and was off all the meds. And I am happy to say I am writing this today as she has finished her Spay operation. There was a concern that a french bulldog would have to have a narse ( nasal ) surgery also; but the Surgeon said she is had the best nose he'd seen. The dog is in good health and my son is happy. Thank you!
