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.

This breed has ancestors of the mastiff line that were very popular during the age of the ancient Greeks. They were made popular by the sport of bull baiting, in which they fight to the death with bulls. This breed was also widely distribute along Phoenician trade routes to feed the demand for these animals due to the sport. As time went on however, the sport was outlawed and many of these mastiffs were domesticated as pets and household companions.

Smaller than the English bulldog, it has a much better temperament. It is due to this latter trait that they can be considered to be fairly safe to be left alone around other animals and small children. It has pointier ears than its English relative, has a more compact and wider body and shorter legs.

It is a dog that makes for a most excellent companion according to owners of the breed. It is however prone to requiring too much or excess attention, it is an attention whore of sorts. Should it feel like it is not getting enough love it will let out a yodel, or what has become to be known as a French death yodel. Female varieties of this breed will be very protective of their young and whatever they care for.

Its snub nose and compact airway, which is due to its compact size, will together make it in general an issue for the breed. These two combined make it hard for this dog to regulate its temperature, particularly in extreme temperature ranges of either hot or cold. Thus it comes as no surprise that in these extreme conditions that this breed dies easily. Do not get this dog if you live in a very hot or vey cold country.

It is also a dog that has a fairly short lifespan amongst breeds, averaging only eight to ten years at most. Although this can be somewhat be extended with proper care and maintenance. Expect also that your French bully will develop some form of eye complication like cataracts, as it grows older.

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.

Thus we have covered some general items of information that you need to know before you commit to this breed. Always remember that being a pet owner requires a lot of responsibility and that you need to really research fully so as to be the best owner a dog could ever have.
