Background Information On French Bulldog Puppies Ohio

By Charles Miller


Nothing beats a pet for companionship, just ask any pet owner out there. Usually the general trend will be between either a puppy or a kitten for starters. If you are a new owner and want to have a hand at trying out a dog as a new pet you may consider French bulldog puppies Ohio. But before you do, you should know a little bit about the history of this canine and other good information.

In ancient times, particularly the Greek era, the ancestors of this breed were widely distributed all around Europe by Phoenician traders. These earlier mastiffs were used as competitors in the blood sport of bull baiting wherein dogs were pitted against bulls to the death. As the sport was slowly made illegal, these dogs were all later converted into pets for domestic companionship and enjoyment.

Almost similar to the English bulldog, it is much smaller. It does have a more compact and wider body with short legs, and also it sports pointy or pointier ears. In terms of temperament, the French bully is much friendlier than its English counterpart and it is much safer to leave in the presence of small animals and even children.

As such the French bully makes an excellent companion. It does however require much more attention than a regular dog, in fact it will basically demand for it. When it feels that not getting enough attention is being given, it will set off a fairly distinct ululating sound, or what owners will all call as the French death yodel. Should you get a female, expect her to be very protective of those around her.

Their compact airways, due to their physical build, and their snub noses make for some complications. Due to having these two characteristics this dog will have problems regulating their body temperature, especially when there are conditions of extreme hot or cold weather. Any extreme weather condition will in fact kill this breed. It is thus advised that if you should want to acquire a breed such as this, that you at least live in a temperate area in terms of weather and climate.

Lifespan wise it is fairly short lived. It only averages around 8 to 10 years in terms of lifespan, but this can of course be extended a bit with the proper care and maintenance and of course nutrition. Cataracts are also a possibility as the dog gets older and more mature.

Just like its English relative, this dog is really built for indoor and small space living. It is very content just sitting still for hours on end. It will of course be recommended that you take it out for walks of at least thirty minutes a day for it to improve its circulation and to stretch its legs.

These items therefore are basically the general information that you need to know before committing to this breed. Remember that it takes a lot of responsibility being a dog owner so stock up on information as much as you can. Always do research to keep yourself informed.
