Many people these days are acquiring canines, or dogs, as pets and companions. Many are choosing the French bulldog and you probably have a mind to getting this breed now that you live in Seattle WA. Thus before you do go and visit the closest French bulldog breeder WA, then please do finish this article for some information that may be useful for you.

This breed is popularly called frenchie in short, and when compared to the English bulldog, the frenchie is definitely much smaller. It has a rounder and more compact body with smaller legs, while it also sports a more bat like appearance due to its ears that are always erect.

Most dog owners of this breed will give a rating of medium as regards its energy. Despite this fairly high rating, it is quite okay with not moving around too much around the whole day, just like the English bulldog. Thus being such, this dog will do perfectly well as a companion in small living spaces such as condominiums and small apartments in urban areas. It is however advised that you do give it at least a 30 minute walk everyday to help it dissipate its excess energy.

Will have its share of medical complications foremost of which is its inability to regulate its inner core temperature. This is because it has a very compact airway due to its physical size as well as this being coupled with a pug nose. It will not do for you to keep it in climates that are on the extreme level of the spectrum such as tropical or sub arctic climates or it will die. It is best for owners to keep it in areas with a temperate climate.

The lifespan of this particular dog is quite short when compared to others, being only about eight to ten years on average. However you may still be able to extend it a bit with proper nutrition guidelines and maintenance programs from your vet. In addition, do watch out for eye complications such as cataracts as its age progresses.

Many owners of this dog will tell you that this is one real attention monger once you own it. It will demand more attention than any other regular dog and if it feels that it is not getting the requisite attention that it feels it needs, it will let out the French death yodel. This is an eerie sounding ululating moan that it lets out when it is disappointed. Thus always give it the attention it craves.

The frenchie is quite safe to keep around children and other animals or even dogs. This is because it lacks the typical alpha behavior present in most bulldogs, particularly the English variety. It surprisingly exhibits a more maternal and protective demeanor over those that it cares for.

Once you do decide on visiting any of the breeders in the area, do make sure to make an ocular inspection of facilities when you are there. The animals that they keep must be well cared for, and glean any initial conversations to see if they really care for their animals rather than just breed them for profit.
