    Interesting Facts About French Bulldogs

    Want to learn some intriguing facts about your Frenchie? Here are 5 French bulldog facts you may not know.

    They Have Many Nicknames

    French bulldogs have many fun nicknames. Some these include

    • Batpigs.
    • Squishy faces.
    • Clown dogs.
    • Frenchies

    They Originated in England

    Contrary to their name, French bulldogs originated in England. In addition, french bulldogs were bred to bait bulls.

    However, when bull baiting was deemed illegal in 1835, bulldogs no longer had a purpose except to become couch potatoes. Therefore, they began to be bred as loyal companions of the family.

    Following this, toy bulldogs were born. Unfortunately, because the bulldogs had such large ears, the English deemed them unworthy and would export them.

    However, the French fell in love with their large, bat-like ears, and by the early 20th century, they made an infamous appearance in France. They were often depicted with fashion models, writers, and those who were creatively gifted.

    It’s no wonder Americans imported these adorable fur babies where their popularity would boom.

    They Have Been Elected for Mayor

    You are not reading that wrong. In 2020, the town of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, elected Wilbur, a 6-month-old French bulldog.

    Moreover, the tradition began in 1990 when a man known as “Don Clarke” thought it would be great to elect an animal as president to support a fundraiser event for a historical society.

    French Bulldogs Are Easy to Train

    Frenchies have a great memory. Therefore, they tend to be easy to train and follow directions without much fuss(usually).

    Furthermore, they are sensitive to body language and empath and can pick up on emotions easily. This is also why it’s important to try not to argue or make a lot of noise around them, as they can be prone to stress.

    They Make Awesome Allies

    French bulldogs are loved around the world for their easy-going temperament and charm. These sweet babies can warm the heart of anyone with their goofy antics and funny noises, and they are great with everyone who enters your home.

    Despite their sweet temperament, they can become territorial. This is why socialization at a young age is important for both Frenchie and any children at home. In addition, you should never leave a child unattended with any dog, no matter how well-behaved they are. An accident can occur in a split second.

    Directions

    1. Bring water to a boil on low heat.
