Are French Bulldogs good family dogs?

Question

Thank you!

Answer 1

The French Bulldog is a gentle breed that typically has a happy-go-lucky attitude. Like many other companion dog breeds they require close contact with humans. They have fairly minimal exercise needs, but do require at least regular daily walks. Sedentary Frenchies can tend to become obese. Their calm nature makes them excellent choices for apartment dwellers, as does their usually sensible attitude towards barking. As flat faced breed, it is essential that owners understand that French Bulldogs cannot live outdoors. Their bulk and their comprised breathing system makes it impossible for them to regulate their temperature efficiently. Be cautious when exercising your Frenchie during hot or humid weather, as well.

French Bulldogs can play too roughly for some smaller children, and should be monitored at all times during play. As well, children should be cautioned not to pick French Bulldogs up, as their size can mask how truly heavy they actually are.

French Bulldogs are essentially a bull and terrier breed, and as such, it is not surprising to learn that canine aggression can sometimes occur. Generally, this takes the form of same sex aggression, with the bitches being the most culpable in this respect. Owners considering adding a second dog to their household are usually cautioned to choose one of the opposite sex. Spaying or neutering can do much to curb aggressive tendencies before they begin. The French Bulldog energy level can range from hyperactive and energetic to relaxed and laid back.

French Bulldogs can be stubborn, and early and consistent obedience training is highly recommended. Housebreaking can be problematic, and crate training is generally the only efficient method to ensure your carpeting isn't ruined for life.

In general, Frenchies are aimiable, good natured, playful dogs, and make excellent companions for families, single persons and the elderly.

Whenever I am asked "How are Frenchies with children?" I like to
reply "How are your children with dogs?" As with most dogs, Frenchies will play and rough house happily with older children who have been carefully introduced and taught to respect a dogs limitations. Smaller children must be carefully taught to never pick a Frenchie up, as they are a head heavy breed that is easy to drop. Some fanciers believe that Frenchies may play too vigorously for the average child under 2 years, but there is always the exception to the rule. As with your children, it is the way your Frenchie has been taught that will be the deciding factor. Also check out the link below for more info. :)

They are GREAT family dogs. The only worry is if you have small children when they are a puppy, the child may accidentally hurt the puppy, but they are fine when the get bigger. I have heard that Frenchies are to rough with small children (less than 2 years), but mine do fine with small children and I have never had any problems. Just make sure to always supervise the dog and child (or children) to make sure that neither of them gets hurt.

I currently have 4 Frenchies, and my niece and nephew have to come over to my house and play with them every day. I do not know who enjoys the playtime more, the kids or the dogs.

Frenchies are very tolerant with children, and I have NEVER met one that bites. Plus, they are sturdy enough to take a little rough housing.

Beagles are extremely hyper....they need lots of exercise and if they get bored can be extremely destructive, you have to walk them A LOT! My sister-in-law has french bulldogs, hers fart a lot and have eye issues as well as issues with their toe nails.....don't shoot the messenger..........I prefer Bichon frise's although they are high maintenence because of their grooming requirements.
