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.

Minnie just enjoyed her first birthday and has been in our family for ten months. She is the sweetest dog. Minnie loves people and loves to socialize. Premier pups was great from the moment we contacted them about her purchase. All the advice and care instructions we received were extremely helpful in raising a healthy pup. I would not hesitate to buy another fur baby from Premier Pups.

Oh Lola has stole our hearts. We have wanted a French Bulldog for several years and 2019 was our year. We told them in August we were ready to put a deposit down for a pup due in November. 3 days later we received a call about this little girl. She wasn’t quite brand new when we got her but late August Lola May raided our home. She is the best friend a family could have. Thank you to Premier Pups and Dr Pup for making our dreams come true.

We’ve had Bruno since 12/10/2020. Bruno has been a great addition to our family...he’s the sweetest, cutest and best cuddler! I’ve been wanting a French Bulldog for several years, and never bit the bullet to get one. Due to the pandemic and working from home, this was the perfect time! Using Premier Pups was the best decision! It was a seamless process from the beginning to picking him up from the airport. We followed their guidance and Bruno has been in perfect health since his arrival. The staff at our Veterinarian’s office simply adores him!! We truly appreciated the puppy guide, access to Doctor Pup and their daily check-ins. I know we would NOT have been as successful had we gone another route with getting a puppy. I would definitely recommend Premier Pups!!!

| Name: | Louis Barkley, aka JR |
| Breed: | French Bulldog |
| Client: | Josh and Sarah |
| Loc: | Washington, D.C. |
After arduous searching for reputable French bulldog breeders, we landed upon Premier Pups. We looked through the available litter, and immediately, it was love at first sight when we saw (at the time named) JR! He was the epitome of what a dream Frenchie should look like! We spoke extensively with the staff at Premier Pups, and we felt so comfortable with the staff’s knowledge, compassionate treatment and care for the pups, as well as reassurance for first time Frenchie buyers. We placed the deposit on a Thursday, and we picked up our fur son that Saturday! That’s how much at ease the staff made us feel! From start to finish, the staff was incredible; Louis Barkley (aka JR) has provided us more joy than we could’ve ever imagined for almost four years. We’ve not encountered any health issues, and we can’t say enough how pleased we’ve been with our Frenchie addition. We’ve fallen so in love with Louis that we’ve just purchased another! If you’re considering Premier Pups for your next fur baby, don’t hesitate, just DO IT!
