What French Bulldogs are like to live with
The Royal Kennel Club calls the French Bulldog "the popular clown of the bull breeds", with large "bat ears". It traces part of the breed's ancestry to the Toy Bulldog of 1850s Britain, taken to northern France by Nottingham lace makers, and says the breed's registrations rose tenfold between 2009 and 2015, when it was the third most popular breed in the UK.

Do French Bulldogs have breathing problems?
They are prone to them. French Bulldogs are among the flat-faced breeds PDSA says are commonly affected by BOAS (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome), whose signs include noisy breathing, being unable or unwilling to exercise and struggling in hot weather. The University of Cambridge BOAS research group names the French bulldog as a brachycephalic breed, and notes that not all brachycephalic dogs show clinical signs. Ask the rescue what the vet has found about this dog's breathing.
What is BOAS grading for French Bulldogs?
A breathing assessment under The Royal Kennel Club and University of Cambridge Respiratory Function Grading Scheme. Dogs are graded from 0 (clinically unaffected) to 3 (severely affected), from 12 months old, and the scheme says the test should be repeated every two years. The Royal Kennel Club asks French Bulldog breeders to have dogs graded before breeding. Most rescue dogs will not have a grade, so ask what the rescue's vet has found.
Are French Bulldogs good with children?
