The French Bulldog, also known as Frenchie, is a small domestic dog type. Frenchies were the result of the 1800s cross between the bulldog ancestors imported from England and the local ratters in Paris, France.
By 2015, they are the fourth most popular registered dog in the UK and in the US is the sixth most popular registered AKC race dog. They are ranked the third most popular dog in Australia in 2017.

Histori
The origin of modern French Bulldog breeds descends directly from the dogs of the Molossians, an ancient Greek tribe. The dogs were scattered throughout the ancient world by Phoenician merchants. The British Molossian dogs were developed into Mastiffs. A Mastiff sub-family is a Bullenbeisser, a kind of dog used for cow fishing.
Blood sports such as bull baits were banned in England in 1835, making these "Bulldogs" unemployed. However, they have been bred for non-sport reasons since at least 1800, and so their use has changed from breeding to companion breeds. To reduce their size, some Bulldogs are crossed with terriers, while others are crossed with pugs. In 1850, the Bulldog Toys had become common in the UK, and appeared in conformational shows when they started around 1860. These dogs weighed about 16-25 pounds (7.3-11.3 kg), although classes were also available at a dog show for those weighed under 12 pounds (5.4 kg).
At the same time, lace workers from Nottingham, displaced by the Industrial Revolution, began settling in Normandy, France. They bring a variety of dogs with them, including Miniature Bulldogs. Dogs became popular in France and trade of small imported Bulldogs was created, with breeders in England sending over bulldogs they considered too small, or with errors such as standing ears. In 1860, there were some miniature Bulldogs left in England, as was their popularity in France and due to the exploitation of specialist dog exporters.
The small Bulldog type is gradually considered a type, and receives the name, Bouledogue Francais. The English name bilization is also a contraction of the words boule (sphere) and dogue (mastiff or molosser). The dogs are very fashionable and sought after by women of Paris society and prostitutes alike, as well as creatively like artists, writers, and fashion designers. However, the record is not kept from the development of the breed when it goes away from its original Bulldog roots. When changed, terriers and pug stocks may have been brought in to develop traits such as long straight ears of the breed, and their roundness of eyes.
Club breeding and modern recognition
Bulldogs were very popular in the past, especially in Western Europe. One of his ancestors was the English bulldog. The Americans had been importing the French Bulldog for a while, but only in 1885 when they were brought in to establish a breeding program based in America. They were mostly owned by community women, who were first put on display at the Kennel Westminster Dog Show in 1896. They arrived again the following year with more entries, where the assessment of this breed will continue to have future consequences. The judge in question at the dog show, Mr. Sven Feltstein, chose only the winner with "rose ear" - a folded ear at the end, as with the standards for the English Bulldog. The women formed the American Bull Dog Club and created a breed standard that states for the first time that "erect ear bats" are the right type.
At the beginning of the 20th century, this breed remained popular for the upper class, with dogs changing hands up to $ 3,000 and owned by influential family members like Rockefeller and J. P. Morgans. The American Kennel Club acknowledged this type quickly after the club reproduced, and in 1906, the French Bulldog was the fifth most popular breed in America. In 2013, the American Kennel Club (AKC) ranked the French Bulldog as the 11th most popular race in the United States, enjoying a sharp rise in popularity from 54th place a decade earlier, in 2003. By 2014, they have moved to becoming the most popular registered ninth registered AKC dog species in the United States.
The new Bulldog breed arrived for the first time in Britain in 1893, with the British Bulldog breed an uproar as French imports did not meet the new breed standards at the moment and wanted to prevent British stocks from cross-breeding with France. The Kennel Club originally recognized them as part of the existing British Bulldog breed rather than an entirely new type. Some British breeders in this period raised the French Bulldog to revive the Toy Bulldog breeds. On July 10, 1902, at the home of Frederick W. Cousens, a meeting was held to form a breed club to seek individual recognition for French breeds. The breed standards adopted are the same ones that have been used in America, France, Germany and Austria. Despite being opposed by the Bulldog Miniature (new name for Toy Bulldog) and the Bulldog breeder, in 1905, the Kennel Club changed its policy on breeds and admitted they were separate from the British variety, originally as Bouledogue Francais, then in 1912 the name changed to French Bulldog.

Description
The New Complete Dog Book: The Official Breed Standard and All-New Profile for 200 Breeds, Issue 21 , is the official publication of the American Kennel Club and sets Official Breed Standards for all AKC-recognized breeds, including the French Bulldog. The French Bulldog should have the appearance of an active, muscular dog, heavy bones, coat smooth, compact built, and medium or small structure. The points should be well distributed and have a good relationship with each other, no features that stand out from the advantages or disadvantages of the quality that the animal looks defective or less proportionate.

The colors received below the breed standard are various shades of dappled, yellowish brown, brown or white with patches of dappled (known as "pied"). The most common colors are dappled, then brownish yellowish, with pieds becoming less common than other colors. The breed club does not recognize colors or other patterns. This is because some colors are linked to genetic health problems that are not usually found in heredity, especially blue, which is associated with the form of alopecia (hair loss or baldness), sometimes known as "Blue Dog Alopecia". While this is highly disputed by some organizations, there seems to be an indication that the condition of health, hair and/or skin is caused by the color pigment (melanin) that clumps in the hair shaft itself. Even non-blue dogs can develop "blue dog alopecia" or follicular dysplasia of dogs. The American Kennel Club states that the French can be striped, yellowish, white, and striped and white. The skin should be soft and loose, especially in the head and shoulders, forming wrinkles. Coat is quite smooth, brilliant, short and smooth.

Temperament
The French Bulldog, like many other companion dogs, requires close contact with humans. As a result, they should not be left alone for more than a few hours because these dogs experience separation anxiety if they are alone for too long. This is very important when the French Bulldog is young, but this issue remains a concern until adulthood. Alone for too long can cause the French Bulldog to behave destructively, which can include chewing household items or furniture or even going to the bathroom at home.
They have pretty minimal training needs, but do require at least a short trip each day. The French Bulldog is sometimes called "Frog Dog" or "Clown Dog". "Frog dog" refers to their wide round face and their unique way of sitting with hind legs spread. "Clown dog" is because they are known to have fun "clowns of the dog world" are excited. Their calm nature makes them an excellent choice for apartment dwellers, as is their reasonable attitude to barking.
Their mass and their compromised respiratory system make it impossible for them to regulate their temperatures efficiently. The French Bulldog has only one short coat. This means the dog can easily become cold. In addition, they most likely need to have some extra layers inside during the winter in very cold areas. These dogs need warm clothes when out in cold weather. Precautions should be taken during exercise during hot or humid weather, as they are prone to heat stroke. It is also recommended that French Bulldogs staying indoors have access to air conditioning to regulate their temperatures. In terms of treatment, French Bulldog requires regular nail pruning, brushing, occasional bathing, and cleaning the ears.
The French Bulldog became a very good friend. The French bulldog rarely barks, and if he does it is to draw attention, to show that he needs something (like attention). This breed is patient and affectionate with its owner, especially with children, which is mainly protected by females. French bulldogs can easily live with other offspring when the right introductions are made.
They rank 58th in Stanley Coren The Dog Intelligence . There are certain exceptions to this average dog's intelligence level; The French Bulldog named Princess Jacqueline who died in 1934 claimed to understand 20 words, reacted correctly.
Health
The UK breed survey report on 71 dog deaths puts the average age of the French Bulldog at 8 to 10 years, while the breed club UK shows an average of 12 to 14 years. The AKC list that the French Bulldog breed has a period of 11 to 13 years.
As a result of the dense airways and most of the French bulldogs, they have an inability to regulate body temperature effectively. While an ordinary dog ​​might suffer to some degree from the heat, to Frenchie it might be deadly. It is important that they are protected from extreme temperatures at all times, and that they always have access to fresh water and shade. Since they are a brachycephalic breed, the French Bulldog is banned by some commercial airlines because of the amount that has died while in the air. This is because dogs with pug noses have difficulty breathing when it is hot and depressed. The cargo space on the plane can rise as high as 30 ° C (86 ° F) while waiting on the runway.
Patella luxation is a patellar dislocation (kneecap). In dogs, the patella is a small bone that protects the rigid front of the joint on its hind legs. This bone is held up by the ligaments. As the knee joint is moved, the patella slides in the groin of the femur. The kneecap may be dislocated inward (medial) or outside (laterally) from the foot. This condition may be caused by an injury or a congenital defect. Ease of patella can affect one or both legs. Testing is available to predict the presence of patellar luxation in dogs.
Birth and reproduction
French bulldogs often require artificial insemination, and caesarean section to give birth, with more than 80% of children born in this way. In addition, many French bulldog stud dogs are not able to breed naturally. This is because the French Bulldogs have very slender hips, making men unable to install females to reproduce naturally. Therefore, breeders should make artificial insemination in female dogs. Female female bulldogs may also experience erratic or 'silent' warming, which may be a side effect of thyroid disease or impaired thyroid function.
Back and spine
French bulldogs can also be vulnerable to a variety of back, discus and spine diseases and disorders, most of which may be related to the fact that they are selectively selected from bulldog dwarf examples that proliferate. This condition is also referred to as chondrodysplasia. The French Bulldog tends to have a congenital hemivertebra (also called "butterfly vertebra"), which will be seen on x-rays. More sophisticated technologies such as myelograms, CT scans, or MRIs are used to detect spinal cord compression. Some breeders feel that only dogs that have been examined and examined for spinal anomalies should be cultured.
In October 2010, the British Bulldog French Health Scheme was launched. This scheme consists of three levels, a basic veterinary examination corresponding to the Bronze level, this includes all the Kennel Club Breed Watch attention points for this breed. The next level, Silver, requires DNA testing for hereditary cataracts, simple cardiology tests, and patella grading. The Golden Level requires a hip score and spinal evaluation. The French and British Bulldog fans and Kennel Clubs are in front of America and AKC is in a move away from screws, corks or 'tight' tails (which are a defect of the spine without being inbreed), and back to the short-drop tails that breed originally. The breed UK standard now reads: "Undocked Tails, [clear 'very'] short, set low, thick at root, tap quickly toward the tip, preferably [erase 'good'] straight, [delete 'or bent'] and long enough to cover the anus Do not curl up behind and not pick up. "
Eyes
The French Bulldog has a tendency towards eye problems. The eyes of the cherry, or the third prominent eyelid, have been known to occur, though more commonly in the Bulldog and the English pugs. Glaucoma, retinal folding dysplasia, corneal ulcers and juvenile cataracts are also conditions that have been known to attack French bulldogs. Screening of candidate seed candidates through the Eye Canine Registration Foundation (CERF) can help to eliminate these diseases in heredity. Skin folds under French bulldog eyes should be cleaned regularly and kept dry. Teardrops are common in lighter-colored dogs.
Cultural heritage
Although there is no Best French Bulldog in the Show at Crufts or Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, there was one dominant Bulldog during the 1950s at Westminster. Ch. Bouquet Nouvelle Ami won Best of Breed for eight consecutive years; ran only ends with a dog pension after a 1960 show. Dog owner, Amanda West, went on to win Best of Breed along with other French Bulldogs for ten years. In 2010, a Canadian French Bulldog named Ch. Robobull Fabelhaft I'm On Fire became the first of his breed to win the Non-Sporting Group and made it through to the Best Show, eventually losing to Scottish Terrier Ch. Mercy Roundtown from Maryscot.
Jason Schwartzman French Bulldog, Arrow, made cameo in his HBO detective comedy serial Bored to Death in October 2010.
The only French Bulldog aboard the Titanic boarded the ship on April 15, 1912. First-class passenger Robert Williams Daniel, a 27-year-old banker, had bought a dog, named Gamin de Pycombe, for Ã, Â £ 150 (equivalent to $ 17,000 in current prices). A surviving passenger was later quoted to have seen the French Bulldog swim in the ocean after the ship sank.
