A breeder of French Bulldogs, tells us more about the character, the way of life, the education, or the health of this little dog as funny as it is intelligent.
The French bulldog and the others: Is he sociable, does he enjoy the company of other dogs?
He is a sociable dog, but as with all breeds, adopting two males should be avoided because their cohabitation is not always harmonious.

Would you advise a family with children to adopt a French bulldog?
The French bulldog is a breed that is very suitable for families. He is a dog with a big heart, tender and sociable, and also very attached to his master or even exclusive, which can make him jealous of other animals. In the same household, it is not recommended to take two males, because cohabitation will be difficult. However, don’t be fooled by his hound-like appearance, he’s gentle and will always be very excited to play. Very playful of course, he is also endowed with adaptability and knows how to be calm and wise. Lively and intelligent, he enjoys the company of children and is also suitable for older people since he does not need to exercise too much.
His attachment to his family makes him an excellent guardian. He tends to take himself for a large dog and knows how to show courage and daring sometimes too much, his master having to ensure that he does not put himself in danger, because he will not hesitate to defend himself and the owner. Some Bulldogs can be dominant. Thus, a few days of training are sometimes recommended when the dog is young to teach him basic educational principles.

A good watchdog?
It can act as a watchdog because, although it does not bark much, it warns off unusual noises or simply when someone knocks on the door.
Can it live in an apartment, is it possible? And if so, under what conditions?
Yes, it is possible because what counts are not the fact that he lives in an apartment or a house (he knows perfectly how to stay alone) but the time that we devote to him to walk him, educate him and involve him in family life.
Can he stand loneliness?
Yes, on condition that you teach him and gradually get used to it and also on condition of not being away for long hours because the dog would end up getting bored and, in addition, the problem of cleanliness would then arise.
