The French Bulldog is a breed of dog. Medium-sized, characterized by a large but

short muzzle, a flat, bifurcated nose, and a wide, forked upper lip. Erect ears, wide at the base and rounded at the top. The protruding brow ridges are separated from each other by a deep groove between the eyes. The groove should not continue on the forehead like in English Bulldogs.

standards, but is widespread in America.

History of the breed.

But with the help of British lovers of the

breed, not interested in dog fights, the French

gradually left the line of dogs being pitted

against each other.

In fact, French Bulldogs are bred in England. And thanks to their compact format, the French

were the first to appear among English seamstresses,

as pets and rat catchers. Then some seamstresses emigrated to France

with their favorites, where the bulldogs are

already catching the eye of the French elite. Thus, the French Bulldog becomes a very popular

dog in prestigious circles. Only the elite of France could afford this

dog. In France, this breed was first registered,

where the name "French Bulldog" was given. However, there are other opinions on this

matter.

In America, the French Bulldog is becoming

a very expensive dog breed.The dog cost from $ 250 to $ 750 (which was

more than the cost of the "popular" Ford Model

T).In the early 20th century, several dogs were

sold for $ 5,000.

Appearance.A medium-sized, well-proportioned, and compactly

built short-haired dog with a very original

appearance and a daring temperament.The characteristic features of the French

Bulldog is a large, massive head with a short

snout, large erect ears, shaped like those

of a bat, and large, intelligent, expressive

eyes. The tail is short, with characteristic kinks. Despite its small stature, a strong, from

any point of view, short and stocky dog, with

a short, blunt muzzle, erect ears, and a natural

short tail.Should give the impression of a lively, lively,

the very muscular animal with a compact structure

and solid bones. The type of wool is wire-haired. Coat quality - short, thick, dense, shiny

and smooth, without undercoat.COLORS: Evenly reddish with brindle or fauve,

with limited white spotting; brindle or fawn

with an average spotting that exceeds the

size of the palm - spotted (Caille), black

and white. All shades of fawn are acceptable, from bright

red to cappuccino.

white with spots and without

them, white-brindle, white-fawn, brindle,

fawn (from bright red to "coffee with milk"),

black-brindle.Tiger (brindle) - frequent blotches of red

the hair on a black background or black hair on

a red one.Small white markings on the chest, throat

and a narrow white blaze on the muzzle is

allowed. Spotted (pied) - on a white background, a motley

tiger spots (no more than 20 percent), located

on the head, ears, sides, back. Fawn - from bright red to "coffee with milk",

with possible white spots on the chest, neck,

belly.On the head of fawn dogs, only a white blaze

is allowed to the nose. Spots on the head are a marriage. (The fawn color was adopted by the FCI in

1995.)

Mouse (gray / blue), blue-brindle, chocolate,

chocolate-brindle, tricolor, fawn with a blue

mask, isabella, and merle colors are not the

standard, since there have never been such

colors in this breed, and are judged as a

marriage of the breed. A similar color of a bulldog indicates the

presence of another breed in any knee of the

dog's pedigree. In this case, the pedigree is issued with

a mark of the breeding marriage, which blocks

access to exhibitions and does not give the

right for breeding. In America, innovations are allowed, and dogs

of such colors are successfully being shown,

in Russia, such a method is only being introduced,

which leads to the disappearance of purebred

bulldogs.

Height at withers 25-35 cm.Weight female dog:

8-12 kg, males: 10-15 kg.Males are larger, more massive, more courageous. female dogs are somewhat lighter in the constitution. The format is slightly stretched, the format

index is 103-106. The type of constitution is strong, with elements

of dampness. The skeleton is well developed, the musculature

is relieved. The neck is short (slightly less than the

length of the head), powerful, muscular, medium

set, with a beautiful nape line, widening

towards the shoulders, with two symmetrical

skin folds on the throat that do not become

dewlap. The withers are poorly defined. The height at the withers is slightly lower

than the height at the rump (due to the low

front). The topline rises from the withers to the

loin and gently descends to the base of the

tail. The back is strong, muscular, slightly arched. The loin is short, strong, muscular, slightly

arched.

The group is strong, muscular, moderately

sloping, slightly raised. The chest is widely developed, deep, cylindrical

in shape, slightly widening from front to

back.

The ribs are very round. The belly and groin line is slightly tucked

up. The head is massive, wide, square in outline. The muzzle is wide, short, upturned. The nostrils are wide open, symmetrical, directed

from bottom to top.The bridge of the nose is short, wide, with

symmetrical wrinkles dropping down to the

upper lip. There is a small skin fold above the nose.The lips are thick, fleshy, vertical in profile, and gently rounded. The upper lip hangs down freely, but not enough

to protrude beyond the level of the lower

jaw. In front, it reaches the lower lip, without

covering the borders of the lips. The border of the lips is black. The cheekbones are well developed but not

prominent. The muscles of the cheeks are well developed

and flat.

The superciliary arches are pronounced, separated

by a furrow, especially between the eyes.

beautifully rounded, slightly protruding,

set wide and low. The look is smart, benevolent, sparkling. The eyelids are dry, the edges of the eyelids

are black. The whites of the eyes are not visible when

looking forward. The teeth are strong and white.

The canines are large.

Bite - undershot. The incisors of the lower jaw are located

in one line, although a "checkerboard" or

irregular arrangement of the incisors and

canines located vertically is also acceptable. The jaws are wide, powerful, and quadrangular. The angle of the lower jaw is sufficiently

open. The nose is wide, very short, and turned up;

nostrils well open and symmetrical directed

obliquely back.

The lower arch of the teeth is rounded. The jaws should not be sideways or crooked. The distance between the arcs of the incisors

(retreat) cannot be certain exactly; the main

thing is that the upper and lower lips close

completely, hiding the teeth. The tail is short, set low on the croup, lying

close to the rump, thick at the base; twisted

and broken by nature; narrows towards the

end. Even in movement, the tail should remain below

the level of the base. A relatively long (but not below the hock)

and the tapering, broken tail is acceptable but

not desirable. The forelimbs are strong and well-muscled. The shoulders are short, dense, muscular,

set obliquely, well mobile. The forearms are short, strong, straight,

set strictly upright. The elbows are tightly pressed to the body,

directed strictly back.

people.Individualists in relationships with other

animals can show aggression. Strong enough, with a good reaction rate. They are well trained, they are happy to interact

with a person, they can participate in-game

sports (agility, cynological freestyle).

Maintenance and care. French Bulldogs are medium-sized dog breeds. Like any other breed, they require a balanced

diet. May be prone to food allergies and require

careful dietary management of both commercial

and natural foods. French Bulldogs are short-haired and require

grooming only during shedding periods. The skin fold on the face should be monitored,

it should be kept clean and dry to avoid moisture

accumulation and dermatitis. They do not tolerate heat well due to the

brachycephalic structure of the muzzle.

French Bulldog puppies cost from 1000 to 2000

U.S dollars. The purest bloodlines can be sold for up to

3000 U.S dollars.The monthly budget for caring for the dog

will be from 300 to 400 U.S dollars to meet

the needs of the bulldog while choosing a

premium diet.When looking for a dog, the question of supply

and demand arises. Since the French Bulldog is a fashionable

dog, there are many people who do not breed

dogs, not because they love them, but because

they want to make a quick buck.
