French Bulldog

Good to know

• Not built for swimming: their heavy front end and short muzzle make swimming hard, so watch them closely around pools and water.
• Heat-sensitive: with their flat faces they overheat easily, so exercise them in the cool of the day and keep them inside in hot weather.
• Apartment-friendly: they need only moderate exercise and rarely bark much, which makes them adaptable to small homes and city life.
• Simple grooming: the short coat needs only occasional brushing, but the facial wrinkles should be kept clean and dry.

Getting out with a French Bulldog

They're happy with shorter, easy walks. Keep outings gentle in the heat.
