But before you go off to the a French Bulldog Breeders Missouri in the area, please read on in this article so that you will know what kind of breed this is and what you are in for.

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.

Owners will confirm that this is one dog that loves attention, and craves a lot of it, making it one of the more lovable breeds around. When it is not getting enough love it will make what is called the French death yodel, a kind of ululating yodeling. It is also a very protective breed, especially when it comes to the females of things they care for, particularly their own young.

This dog, just like the English bulldog, is a champion when it comes to living in small and enclosed spaces. It is quite used to staying indoors a majority of the time and it poses no bother for it to be inactive for extensive periods. It should however still be taken for half hour walks just for overall health.

Due to its size, this breed has a much more compact airway when compared to others. Alongside its having a snub nose also, it will have problems in temperature regulation. It is a documented fact that many of this breed die due to extreme cold or hot conditions, with the former occurring due to its fairly thin fur coat. Not one for extreme climates, this breed lives best in temperate climates and environments.

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 attempted to give as much information on this breed for your use. If you are convinced it is the breed for you, do additional research so as to make your decision rock solid for a new companion and pet.
