French bulldog is also known as the “Frenchie“. He has a round shape body, combined with the short legs and wrinkled nose. Wide mouth that looks like smiling all the time and the large ears that resemble bat ears make anyone laugh. The French bulldog has a cheerful and friendly character, although he may bark, to remind us that there are strangers around here.
Because the French bulldog’s nose is both wrinkled and short, he snores a lot while breathing and sleeping. His wide mouth also made him squeaky and often spilled water all over the house. French bulldog does not tolerate heat. Therefore, it must be placed in a room with a reasonable temperature and good ventilation
