    French bulldogs are one of a kind with their large bat ears and even-keel disposition, it is no wonder they are now the most popular dog breed in the US. The Frenchie is playful, alert, adaptable and is irresistibly adorable. The French bulldog resembles a small bulldog with the exception of the breed trademark - their tall, large, erect ears, lovingly called bat ears. They have a large, square head, with heavy wrinkles leading to a short nose. They are known for their compact, muscular bodies underneath a smooth coat. Frenchies are dogs of only a few words, as they are not known to bark very much, but they do make great watch dogs as they are always alert. French bulldogs are known to be great in many family situations as well as with companion animals as they are easy going and usually do not need much exercise. This breed is very popular in cities as they are good apartment dogs as well.Show Notes: https://www.thepetladyltd.com/episode-45-french-bulldogsSponsors:Dogs CanDo Academy - Dogs CanDohttps://www.facebook.com/dogscandoacademyAre you in need of Pet Care?
