I have a 2 years old frenchie..best dog ever.❤️

[@stuballs42]

We have had two Frenches along the line " Timber .and Buddy " both great little dogs with little or no problems at all. Yes we were lucky,and both dogs were a joy for many years. Our last one ' Buddy" never had ANY issues at all ,never was sick, never has any broken bones ,never bit any one ,loved everyone he met. No barking, only, to let us know someone was at the door, never tore up anything. I have a collection of Bonsai trees ,and Buddy never bothered any of them. Yes we were very lucky up to the very end when Buddy started to have seizures ,he let us know it was time for him to go ,so we had him put to sleep! Hardest thing I ever had to do ! Still miss the little guy!!!!!!!

[@MrPhins]

Every time I see the words "French Bulldog" I smile. My frenchie turned 12 in July and it's been 12 years and counting of pure joy. I'd evict a person for snoring but I can't sleep unless I'm hearing the snore of my Sobe.

I'm handicapped, and as my mobility diminished in my early 50s I decided my next dog would be a frenchie. 5 years later I couldn't be happier. It's not only very affectionate, mine is a vermin chaser (almost cat like!) and some of a guard dog. I had some great dogs in my life, collie, dobermann, airedale terrier. Each had a place in my heart at a certain stage of my life. Now it's time for the more sedate, loving frenchie. Great vid!

[@lunarly85]

Can't stress this enough. They fundamentally are still a bull breed and have those traits and still need training and boundaries. Or you end up with a tyrant frenchie with behavioral issues. Just because theyre doesn't mean they should should be allowed to do whatever and develop small dog syndrome.

[@MrXiiiking]

@@lunarly85 cant agree with you more. my frenchie lunges and nips and barks at me and my wife. shes 1 years old and we been training but she still does it. my wife is kinda over it and wants to bring the dog back to the breeder. its really difficult for us

[@loseerich493]

Everyone understands the need for good breeding that aims to eliminate as many genetic issues as possible however, the AKC is just as stubborn as it was back in the late 1890s on many things. With Frenchies, the hard stance on few colors is a modern day example of AKC hard-headedness.... like its stance was on bat vs rose ears 100+ years ago. High time for a dog owner's revolt again to get the AKC to acknowledge coat & eye colors that adorn a metric ton of healthy Frenchies in today's day & age.

[@akcpr8601]

We are sorry you feel that way. The AKC does not set the breed standard for ANY BREED. We recognized the standards developed by the parent club or national organization. A dog is eligible for registration with our organization if they have the pedigree required. Concerns about the Frenchie standard or any other breed standard should be addressed with the parent club.

[@loseerich493]

@@akcpr8601 Thanks for that info. The video here sure made it sound to me like back in the day Frenchie owners had to fight the AKC over the ear issue & because they had done so in such a fervent manner the AKC had to relent. As a layperson I always hear "The A K C doesn't recognize .... [insert any trait]", never hear "the x-breed club of America doesn't recognize A/B/C".

[@hatchmando4918]

Losee Rich also though some of the fad colors come with health issues caused by getting that color. For example the silver, blue ones tend to have heart defects caused by the gene mutation needed to throw the color. This is why the fad colors are not accepted. Of course there are some healthy ones in those colors but it’s less often and we need to better the breed as is.

[@loseerich493]

@@hatchmando4918 Totally understand the point of not wanting to propagate genetically deficient dogs. On the flip side there's no doubt politics comes into play with these things, even in this video they state there was basically a revolt/boycott to get the rose vs bat ear standard changed. We'd probably only have a handful of dog breeds period if this kind of standard was strictly enforced throughout human history.

I have a French bull dog and I absolutely love him so much! however, they are very hard to potty train, and are alot more hyper than portrayed in this video. he also had quite a few health issues in his first year of life. if you can look past these things, then they will be a perfect companion. they are the sweetest.

[@SalgatAustin]

@@nikkij2322 The issue isn't us dealing with this breed's issues, but that the dog itself has to deal with these issues its entire life. Brachycephalic breeds, including french bulldogs, experience chronic lifelong breathing difficulties. It's not fair to breed that kind of condition into a dog, and it's not responsible to encourage their breeding when perfectly healthy breeds of dog already exist.

[@nikkij2322]

@@SalgatAustin there are many breeds of dogs that have been bred so much that they have health issues. it's not just bronchial breeds. My frenchie has zero breathing issues. if you feel so strongly about this subject I suggest you find another KZbin channel.

[@SalgatAustin]

@@nikkij2322 Brachycephalic breeds don't always show obvious symptoms. Further, you cannot know if you're dog will have issues until after you own it, so purchasing a dog from a breed that almost universally has the same chronic issue just continues the breeding and issues that come with it. I'm glad you were lucky enough that your dog doesn't have issues, but that doesn't fix the issues that the breed as a whole faces.

[@SimoneOconnell]

they are a lot of work being honest more then most dogs.ours has had to have a operation because of breathing problems its from the dog rescue so had the operation before we got her.they have very sensitive stomachs once you find a food that agrees best to just stick to that ,we use royal canine wet and dry food,yes you have to wipe their ears every day wipe over paws body after every walk .they get itcheds bites under them so we put dog aloe vera on her [not human must be specially for dogs.either clean her teeth or thise bones you get for cleaning teeth.we are working on the nails she screams everytime we try to do them probably going to have to take her to get those clipped,they love toys i mean obsessed everytime you go out she hopes you have a new one for her collection.have to say ours has got a very good back charges around the place and jumps high .we try to stop her but not easy shes about to turn 5 years old.,eyes dont seem to bad but a lot of dogs eventually when they grow old have bad eyes but ours is only 5 years..but they are wonderful dogs and if you can make the time i say go for it.if you dont keep taking the dog out several times a day it will poo in your house.

[@claudiar6713]

Honestly, don't get a dog. No dog can hold it in from early morning until the late afternoon/early evening. And Frenchies are bred as companion dogs so them not getting to be around you for most of the day is torture to them. I had a Frenchie for 12 years and he always needed to be around people and also way more exercise than our dachshunds.

From experience French bulldogs get jealous and possessive with their owners and home. You will see this appear when they are over the age of 1 yrs of age when they become bossy and even a little aggressive in the park, and when they are with a group of French bulldogs. Hence you rarely see adult frenchies in large groups playing together. When you get another dog same sex after the age of your Frenchie being 1 yrs old it’s not a fun household for the first year. Nxt year I will let you know who they are going.
