Things To Consider Before You Respond To That French Bullies For Sale Sign

By Lisa Wallace


You are probably wondering right now if you should be getting a pet or not. In fact most of the people you know do have pets and seem to be very happy with their pets. Right now you may be deciding on a dog as a possible pet and companion as soon as you saw the French bullies for sale sign earlier. Before you do take the commitment and plunge, do read on in this article for some good facts and information on this dog breed.

This breed is an offshoot of a much older bulldog and mastiff line from the Greek era. They were primarily bred for the blood sport of bull baiting which was most popular around the European and Mediterranean areas. They were widely distributed by Phoenician traders. When the sport was outlawed, these bulldogs became domesticated pets and raised for non sporting purposes.

Many would believe that it is like the English bulldog, but in fact it is much smaller with more erect ears. The British bulldog also looks more pug like. Temperament wise this breed is much tamer and more docile, so there is no danger of leaving it alone with children or even other animals in your residence.

Although the dog loves to crave attention most of the time, something that many of us may find irritating, they do make excellent companions. They will let you know by yodeling out their disappointment, what most owners call as the French death yodel. The females of this breed are very protective of their young and also of people around them. Thus you can be sure that they will be very protective of your children as well if left alone with them.

This dog, just like its English cousin, also does quite well living in small spaces. It is ideal for someone living in a small apartment or room. They are quite content being inactive most of the time but they still do need space to stretch their legs once in a while. A regular daily walk for about thirty minutes should not hurt anyone. This could possibly be one of the ultimate indoor dogs.

Due to its pug nose and somewhat compact airway due to its size, this breed will have a hard time regulating its temperature in hot weather. In cold weather, it will also have problems due to its fairly thin and almost furless coat. Thus this dog cannot live in extreme weather conditions and is best suited for temperate climates.

As the French bully will get older, it will develop eye problems that will be of concern to you. This is basically a given for all dogs of this breed. It also does not live very long on average, as it only lives on average eight to ten years. However, this can be extended with proper care and maintenance.

This article has given some general notions that you should keep in mind prior to your decision regarding this breed. The list of items discussed is by no means exhaustive and plenty other concerns do exist. It is best that you do further research apart from this in aiding your final decision.
