You can’t help but love the French Bulldog. As long as he can get lots of attention and stay close to you, this sweet dog can live almost anywhere. Considering its popularity among the public, it’s no wonder the American Kennel Club (AKC) ranked it fourth out of all breeds. It’s a no-brainer on so many levels! This pup is a member of AKC’s Non-Sporting Group. In any case, this has no bearing on the size of the dog since it encompasses a broad range of breeds. As opposed to working dogs, these animals did not have specific jobs, such as herding or guarding. Frenchies are flat-faced or brachycephalic breeds, which contributes to their size and care.
Many breed standards specify a range of height and weight. But French bulldogs do not fall into that category. His height ranges from 11 to 13 inches and his weight is under 28 pounds. It’s true that females are smaller than males. Any dog over that limit is disqualified by the AKC. Balanced is an ideal trait, too. Despite his small size, the Frenchie has a lot of muscle.
In relation to the dog’s proportions, the head of the French Bulldog is quite large. In addition, his front legs are shorter than his rear ones, which explains how his weight is distributed. This pup feels like he’s all muscle, but at the end of the day, this pooch isn’t the most energetic of canines.
