While the most varied theories exist about the the exact origin of the French Bulldog, the most prevalent opinion is that it originates from the miniature or toy bulldog brought to France by the Nottingham lace workers during the industrial revolution and economic crisis in England.
To some extent similar to the English bulldog, but smaller in shape. The most typical distinctive characteristic are the bat (erect) ears. They should be set high on the head but not too close together, and be broad at the base, elongated, and, most importantly, with round top.
The head is large and square with round sharp eyes. The body is short, muscular and heavy-boned.
Coat colors
In the US brindle, fawn and white with brindle (not black) markings are all accepted coat colors. Black-and-tan, black-and-white, mouse and liver colors are disqualifications. Note that France (their country of origin) and most of the FCI member countries do not recognize fawn as a valid color.
The French bulldog is a typical one-man or one-woman dog. They can become very jealous of other pets as well as of the family's children. Their size make them suitable for small apartments, yet they are energetic dogs that need to be walked regularly.
