French Bulldogs should not live outside or sleep outside. They are bred to be inside dogs and should not stay outdoors in the heat (or cold) for long since they are susceptible to heat exhaustion.

Standard-sized French bulldogs approximately live 12-14 years. When we talk about mini Frenchies, they live quite shorter- 10 to 12 years. This is relatively moderate because smaller dog breeds live shorter. Of course, these are only general statements since some Frenchies lived even longer (up to 18 years).

French bulldogs, like all breeds of dogs, are subject to a wide variety of health problems. Some common causes of death for Frenchies include cancer, bloat (gastric torsion), hip dysplasia issues, IVDD, heart failure related to breathing issues, hemangiosarcoma, hypoglycemia, and Addison’s disease.

In fact, most French Bulldogs will suffer from one or more of the most common health problems associated with the breed. These health problems usually emerge as early as 2 or 3 years and can lead to unexpected veterinary expenses. As well as, significantly impact a pet’s quality of life.

At this age, the minds of the French bulldog’s puppies are incredibly receptive, and they choose their favorite person based on their early social experiences. Their early social experiences influence them to choose their most favorite person for the rest of their life.

Do French Bulldogs Do Better in Pairs? This is a resounding yes. Frenchies are companion dogs, and having another Frenchie to play and run around makes them happy. If you are contemplating having a Frenchie for your first pet, you should consider getting two Frenchies from the same litter rather than one.

And there you have it; French Bulldogs cannot clean themselves properly, and all of them will need a large degree of help from their owner. You will need to occasionally wipe a French Bulldog’s bum. You will need to clean their folds. You will need to clean out their ears.

Using baby wipes on your Frenchie is not ideal, and can cause skin issues, and in some cases illness. Dogs have different skin than babies and using baby wipes can cause irritation, redness, and more. Like other Bulldog type breeds, Frenchies require a little more maintenance than wrinkle free breeds.

A dog presenting their rear is communicating that they trust you not to harm them, and that they, in turn, won’t harm you. It’s a gesture made out of love, friendliness, and trust.

The Root of the Behavior When your dog turns his back to you, he is showing you that he’s friendly and trusts you. In the animal world, turning your back to someone puts you in a vulnerable position. Your dog is trusting that you won’t attack him from behind.

Kissing and hugging are very important displays of affection among people, but clearly they are not in a dog’s behavioral repertoire. On the other hand, licking one another is important to dogs, but not something humans normally do!
