Everything You Need to Know About French Bulldog Puppies
A cousin of the original English Bulldog, the French Bulldog or the Frenchie as they are also known, is a small breed of muscular dogs originally used for bull baiting in England. The transformation from a sporting breed to a companion dog happened when the Bulldogs and local ratters were cross-bred by workers who moved from England to France after the Industrial Revolution. With rich American tourists flocking to Europe for exotic holidays, the French Bulldog made its entry into the United States.
The French Bull Dog Club of America founded in 1897 is the oldest of its kind exclusively dedicated to this breed.
