Is the French Bulldog right for you?

The French Bulldog is a small breed from the Non-Sporting group, originally from France. It typically weighs 16–28 lb and lives 10–12 years. Known for being adaptable, playful, affectionate, it has low energy and low shedding, and generally does well with apartment dwellers, families.

Match the breed's energy to your lifestyle: a low-energy dog needs an owner who can meet that activity level. Factor in grooming for the shedding level, budget for food and veterinary care, and always meet a dog in person before committing.

Figures are typical breed-standard ranges; individual dogs vary. Not a substitute for advice from a breeder, shelter, or veterinarian.
