The Temperament of a French Bulldog:
This small dog breed is the typically happy-go-lucky type of a dog! It loves to be around people, and thus it is not surprising that it is seen as a companion dog. They are not big barkers, and nor do they require rigorous exercise, so they are ideal apartment-dwellers. They like playing with children and may require supervision as they may be unaware of their strength. Aggression can mostly be seen in the form of same-sex fights. Although it is a gentle breed, canine aggression has been known to occur in Frenchies. Thus when choosing a second Frenchie, it may be advisable to choose a female one if you already have a male, or vice versa. Spaying or neutering can be the answer to aggression. French Bulldogs can be stubborn, and thus it is advisable to take them for early and consistent obedience training when they are still young. They are known to compete well in in competitive dog sports, dog agility, obedience, rally obedience, weight pulling and even Schutzhund. Another plus to their temperament is that they are great as therapy dogs, which the elderly seem to love very much! In general, Frenchies are friendly, playful, good-natured dogs, and make devoted and loyal companions for families, single persons and the elderly as well!
A French Bulldog busy giving some love. Dog Therapy does indeed work!
