About French Bull dog:
The name might be deceptive though the English Bulldog in medieval times was bred to fight bull in a game of bull baiting it is different for its French counterpart. This was bred to be a companion for the lace makers in England.This is a perfect pet for the family; they are adorable and can adjust to all family members and especially children.

The French Bulldog originated somewhere around the 19th century in Nottingham, England. They were bred to accompany the lace makers and they wanted to create a lap version of English Bulldog to ensure company.Around 1860 during the Industrial Revolution the craftsmen came to France and then came the dogs with them. So, the French Bulldog was actually bred in England and not France.

It is believed that the French Bulldog was a descended of the English Bulldog but it is not true, the Frenchie was bred from a shorter version of English Bulldog with the Pug and Terrier and that combination did wonders. The result was an amazingly adorable dog and as of today is one of the most preferred pets of the New York City dwellers now.

frenchies are unique in their breeding process as well. This breed cannot breed naturally, so they have to artificially inseminate them. This makes it extremely easy to know the lineage of your pet.
