By Margaret Harris


The reason that you may be considering getting a pet right now is that you require companionship, or you have noticed your friends with pets that they seem to be a lot happier and content. Someone might have recommended a cat, a dog or even a parakeet. Yet maybe someone has also recommended you get a french bully or bulldog. However, before you go and run to the nearest French Bulldog Breeders Missouri, you should know a little more about the breed before you adopt or buy one.

This breed is quite an ancient one, hailing from as far back as the Greek and Phoenician eras. Phoenician traders were responsible for their dispersal throughout much of the European continent for the popular sport of bull baiting. Bull baiting is a kind of blood sport in which dogs where pitted against bulls in what can be termed as some sort of gladiatorial animal combat. Later on the sport was outlawed, and bulldogs and other mastiff breeds used for the sport were now used as non sporting pets and companions.

Quite similar to the British bulldog, this breed is much smaller with a wider girth and short legs. It also has much more erect ears and sports a tamer temperament. It is not known to exhibit aggressive behaviors which sometimes can be seen in its British cousin and can be left alone with little children and even other animals or dogs.

It is also a very lovable companion if not an attention and cuddle mongering one. It craves closeness and regular pats and hugs. When it is neglected it will make somewhat of a yodeling sound, or what is fondly termed as the French death yodel. Females of this breed are very protective of their young and things they consider worth protecting around them.

The French bully, like the English bully, are very well adapted to indoor living as well as living in small spaces. This makes them ideal companions for the small home owner. They are quite content not to move around and being generally inactive. They do require regular daily walks for health maintenance of at least thirty minutes.

The dog has a snub nose and fairly compact airway due to its size. These physical features make it difficult for this breed to properly regulate its temperature in extreme temperatures. As such, many French bullies have died due to extreme weather and temperature conditions, and it is recommended that they live in more temperate environments and climates.

As it ages, this dog will have its share of eye related problems and conditions. It also has a fairly short lifespan of only around eight to ten years. It will definitely be up to a caring and vigilant owner in determining how much longer they can extend their life spans.

This article has covered some basic about what you need to know about this dog, Hopefully you will also make the extra effort of finding more about your future pet and companion.
