Following the tragic event of dognapping, which involves the stealing of Lady Gaga's two French Bulldogs, and her dog walker getting shot, everyone has one single question in mind, "What is so special about French Bulldogs?" In this video, we are going to tell you about such exciting facts that make Frenchies special:

1French Bulldogs Have an English Background:

Frenchies have a root that traces back to England, more precisely to a city of England, Nottingham. The lace makers of England were drawn a lot to English Bulldogs and turned them into their mascots. Then due to an industrial revolution, many lacemakers settled down in the French countryside along with their toysized bulldogs, which they often used as lapwarmer.




2Frenchies: A Great Companion Breed
According to the American Kennel Club, French Bulldogs are the 4th most popular breed, and there is a reason why. Apart from having a great history, Frenchies are known for their friendly demeanor. One thing that makes Frenchie thrive the most is children. That is why they are so popular among families.

Frenchies love kids, and kids love them, although supervision is required. Being small in size, French Bulldogs are also very famous among apartment dwellers. They do not need much exercise. Walk once a day or two is enough to keep them healthy and energetic. All these cute habits and antics make French Bulldogs an ideal companion breed.



3Sadly, French Bulldogs Cannot Swim

The smooshed face of Frenchies for which they are famous for carries a lot of health disease. One is a short nasal passage that may lead to respiratory problems. Therefore, they have to keep their face elevated for a comparatively longer time during swimming. This alone is a lot challenging, and when their short legs and torso are also not conducive for floating, the whole idea of swimming becomes a lot difficult.


4Neither They Can Fly

Due to Brachycephalic airway obstructive syndrome, Frenchies even have difficulty during air flight. Brachycephalic is a pathological condition that mainly affects dogs or cats having a small snout. Sadly, French Bulldogs are one of them. In the past, many Frenchies have passed away during air flights, due to which a lot of airlines have banned them from boarding.


5Frenchies are Great Babysitters.

French Bulldogs not only make a great babysitter for children but also for other animals too. A baby orangutan named Malone was left alone by his mother. No one knew that if he could make it out alive or not. Then came a 9yearold French dog named Bugsy, who looked after the little orangutan until he was big enough to join the other orangutans in the zoo.


6French Bulldogs are Mindful to Criticism.

Around Frenchie, you need to be careful before using any harsh tone. They are very delicate and can exhibit severe gloomy behavior all day long if ever scold once. However, Positive criticism can do wonders for Frenchie. Frenchies can also display separation anxiety if they are left alone for a long time.

7Frenchies are a Vocal Breed.

French Bulldogs do not tend to bark a lot, but when it comes to talking, they are one of the most vocal breeds available. Frenchies will keep you entertained all day long with their yips, gargles, yawn, and howl. They are an extremely talkative breed who takes pride in their own language and wants to communicate with you all day. Depending on their mood, Frenchies might even sing a song with you.


8Their Ears Come in Two Styles

Initially, French Bulldogs used to have roseshaped ears, which English breeders liked. In contrast, American breeders prefer batlike ears. In 1987, when a roseeared bulldog was starred at the Westminster Kennel Club, American breeders got angry.

French Bulldog Club of America was founded protesting against roseeared breed. This unkind effort of FBDCA bore fruit and eliminated the roseshaped ears and showcased the bateared bulldogs for which they fought extensively.


9They Undergo Artificial Insemination
Most of the Frenchies are born through artificial insemination. Due to their proportions, male Frenchie has a hard time reaching the female, resulting in overheating and other complications. That is why we have to resort to artificial insemination.

French Bulldogs with their largesize heads are tough to be delivered in a normal manner. That is why most of the French Bulldogs have to go through a csection to ensure a healthy delivery. These two are the reason why French bulldogs are so expensive.


10French Bulldogs are Celebrity Favorite.

Frenchies are commonly seen with celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Jackman, The Rock, and how could one forget Lady Gaga. Whereas Hugh Jackman has named its Frenchie as Dali, Leonardo DiCaprio commonly uses Django for his Frenchie, and Lady Gaga has named her three Frenchies as Koji, Gustav, and Miss Asia.
