Criteria to Consider before adopting: 

1. Commitment: French Bulldogs are affectionate & require attention. Be prepared to commit to their care for the long term (they typically live 10-12 years).

​

2. Living Situation: Frenchies are adaptable to various living environments, but they thrive in homes where they are not left alone for long periods. They do well in apartments, as long as they get enough playtime & exercise.

​

3. Time & Attention: French Bulldogs love companionship & need daily interaction. Ensure you have enough time to play, cuddle, & care for your puppy.

​

4. Health Considerations: Frenchies are prone to certain health issues, like breathing problems (due to their short snouts), hip dysplasia, and skin conditions. Make sure you’re ready for the potential medical care they may need.

​

5. Exercise: While they don’t need intense exercise, French Bulldogs need regular, moderate activity to keep them healthy & happy. They enjoy walks & playtime but should not be overexerted due to their short stature & breathing difficulties.

 

6. Financial Responsibility: Owning a French Bulldog comes with ongoing costs, including food, vet visits, grooming, & potential medical expenses.

 

7. Proper Training: Frenchies are intelligent but can be stubborn. Being consistent with training & providing positive reinforcement will help create a well-behaved & happy puppy.

 

8. Other Pets & Children: French Bulldogs are typically great with children & other pets, but every situation is different. Make sure your home is a good fit for a Frenchie, especially if you have other animals.

 

9. Socialization: French Bulldogs benefit from early socialization with people and other dogs to help them grow into well-adjusted adults.

 

10. Willingness to Spoil: French Bulldogs thrive in environments where they are spoiled with love & attention. Be ready to offer affection, treats, & lots of cuddles.

 

If you meet these criteria, a French Bulldog can be an incredibly loving and loyal companion!
