If you're already an owner of a Frenchie or an English bulldog breed , then you're probably familiar with their tendency for the constant following. It's not surprisable at all since both of them have been bred to serve as companions. Otherwise called Velcro dogs , the English bully and the Frenchie will never leave their owners alone. They like to be someone's center of attention , so leaving them home alone can potentially lead them to suffer from dog separation anxiety.
Separation anxiety in dogs leads them to experience real panic. They can start chewing on home items, howling and barking all the time until the owner doesn't come back.
In order to prevent them from this kind of condition, I advise you to properly crate train your pooch and to teach him playing alone with different interactive toys. Since they are at higher risk to gain weight quickly , which can make damage to their health, I recommend to all the owners of these two breeds not to overfeed them.
It includes giving unnecessary snacks as well. No matter how hard it seems to avoid those sad puppy eyes staring at you next time you start eating, I advise you not to slacken. When we talk about common health traits of these dogs, they both experience certain difficulties with breathing on high temperatures.
That's why is highly recommended to provide them with plenty of water in summer and to take them for a walk only in the morning and late evening.
The French Bulldog is intelligent, and he will pick up commands quite easily. However, he is also known to be independent , so you need to be consistent with your training. Do not give in to his stubbornness, for once you start to give up you will never win the training battle again! If you plan to train walking with a harness, make sure the harness is the right size. And then there is the English Bulldog, and boy is this guy one of the most stubborn creatures on this planet!
Lazy and stubborn is a difficult combination to master, and for this reason, this guy is not for a first-time dog owner. If it is important for you to have a fully obedient pup, then he is not the one for you. Some days he will listen, some days he will not, and rarely do owners go a full week without dragging this guy along the sidewalk because he has given up walking. Bulldogs also need harnesses that are fit for them , or leash training can be difficult. The French Bulldog and the English Bulldog need to be socialized early to ensure that they are comfortable in all situations and with people and animals of all different shapes and sizes.
The most important health issue to be aware of when it comes to the French Bulldog and the English Bulldog is Brachycephalic Syndrome.
This is caused by their flat faces and poor respiratory structure, which causes issues with their heat control and their breathing. During warm days, be sure to monitor them, ensure they are in a cool and airy space, and that they are well hydrated. While the English Bulldog National Breed Club does not recommend any particular testing, it is known that he suffers similar health issues to the French Bulldog, whose National Breed Club suggest that he is tested for the following:.
Hip Dysplasia — An abnormal formation of the elbow and hip joints that can cause painful arthritis in later life. Patella Evaluation — Where the kneecap pops out of place, and it can be extremely painful to walk on. They are also both known to suffer from a long list of skin allergies , such as Demodectic Mange, Staph infection, and other general allergies and yeast infections.
The French Bulldog, because of his erect ears that catch a lot of dirt, is known to suffer from ear infections , and the English Bulldog is known to suffer from head tremors. Overall, the English Bulldog lives between 8 to 10 years , whereas the French Bulldog lives longer between 1 0 to 12 years. They are both prone to suffer a longer list of health problems compared to the average pup, and this is a serious factor to consider if you are thinking about welcoming one of these guys into your home.
It is important to hide food out of their reach, as they will both eat everything in sight. Also be mindful to monitor their treat intake, particularly the English Bulldog, because they can become obese. The French bulldog, the English bulldog's smaller cousin, originated in Great Britain. The "Frenchie," as he's affectionately known, resulted from deliberately breeding small bulldogs to create a toy-size canine.
The two breeds still have many common traits, but there's no mistaking one for the other -- especially since the Frenchie has those stand-up ears. The French bulldog is much smaller than the English variety. The American Kennel Club French bulldog breed standard disqualifies any dog from showing if he exceeds 28 pounds.
The English bulldog breed standard calls for male dogs maturing at approximately 50 pounds and females at 40 pounds. While neither breed standard includes height measurements, height and weight are proportionate, so the Frenchie is much shorter than the English bulldog. Many of the permissible colors in both breeds are similar, with the Frenchie appearing in white, fawn, brindle -- a striped effect -- and white and solid brindle.
This means they sometimes have trouble breathing, especially when it's hot and humid. This is what your dog is doing when panting ," Mize says. Mize adds that unfortunately, there's a tradeoff for these irresistibly cute companions. Do French bulldogs shed like pugs? Not by a long shot. Pugs definitely put your robot vacuum to the test! Oh, and watch out for the drool!
Frenchies and English bulldogs have quite a bit of it. We think each of these mushy mugs deserve oodles of snugs, but it's essential to pick a pup that fits your lifestyle. Great for families or those living alone seeking canine companionship," Mize says. Now that you're so savvy with these pups, test your eagle eye on these other canine look-alikes!
