A brief presentation of the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog |
| The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is a hybrid mix of two small breeds, the Boston Terrier and the French Bulldog. The intentional crossing of these two parents is designed to produce a healthier dog with all the looks of the French Bulldog. The desired look captures 75% of the Frenchie and 25% of the Boston Terrier. While the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog mostly resembles the French Bulldog in appearance, it draws its athleticism from the Boston Terrier. As far as hybrids go, the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is a popular mix, and although the history is not extensive, owners can find important information about this hybrid. |

A little of the French Bulldog |
||
| The French Bulldog is a descendant of the ancient molosses. The breed's ancestors were bred for bull baiting, but fortunately this sport was eventually banned. The French Bulldog was born when the English Bulldog was crossed with small terriers. The cross, considered too small for English tastes, was exported to France where it became fashionable as a companion and later, French Bulldogs quickly made their way to the western United States. They were recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1989. | ||

A little of the Boston Terrier |
||
| The Boston Terrier belongs to the Terrier and Bulldog families, the result of an experimental cross between English White Terriers, English Bulldogs and now extinct French Bulldogs in the late 1800s. Not knowing what to call this young breed of dog, enthusiasts tried to associate them with the Bull and Terrier groups, but met with resistance from the well-established breeds in the respective groups. Finally, the Boston Terrier was decided upon as a tribute to the region where the breed was developed, and the American Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1893 as one of the first non-sporting breeds and was the first of ten made-in-America breeds recognized. The All-American breed was chosen for the bicentennial dog and is the official dog of Massachusetts. | ||

Appearance of the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog |
| The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is a small hybrid of the French Bulldog and the Boston Terrier. The desired appearance mainly resembles the French Bulldog, with a large, square head and large, round eyes. The eyes don't protrude as far as the Boston Terrier, but can be more bulging than the French Bulldog parent. The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog has the same ears as its French Bulldog relative, which are long and erect, like bat ears. The body is robust, but the legs are slightly longer than those of the French Bulldog, allowing the hybrid to be more athletic. |
Temperament of the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog |
| The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is a very sensitive companion dog that needs family companionship. This hybrid is affectionate and loyal to its family, and loves to cuddle on a good lap. The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is an excellent companion for children, but is best suited to older children who won't play rough. When it comes to strangers, the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is friendly and generally not shy at all. The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog, if socialized from an early age, gets along with other pets but may show a slight intolerance for other dogs. The French Bulldog parent's energy levels are moderate and slightly higher than those of the Boston Terrier parent. Daily exercise is necessary, but the intensity need not be intense or long. These dogs are intelligent and eager to please, although the French Bulldog can sometimes be somewhat stubborn. However, the Boston Terrier helps to mitigate stubbornness, making this hybrid easier to train and well suited to novice dog owners. |
Needs and activities of the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog |
| The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog has little energy, but still needs daily exercise. A small hybrid able to do most of its daily exercise indoors with quick bursts of energy and short runs around the house, 30 minutes of daily exercise will keep this mix healthy and well stimulated. After a good run or recreation with his people, this hybrid loves to nap and cuddle. The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is considered an excellent hybrid for apartment living and doesn't have a high tolerance for extreme weather conditions, preferring climate-controlled indoor living. |
Maintenance of the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog |
| The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is not a hypoallergenic dog, but this hybrid is not known for shedding much. Coat maintenance is easy, and weekly grooming is all this hybrid needs. Short-bristled brushes are ideal for removing dead or loose hair from the short, fine coat. Frequent bathing can lead to skin problems, so only bathe your Faux Frenchbo Bulldog when necessary. Instead of baths, a warm, damp washcloth will also help keep the coat clean and can be used to wipe away creases and wrinkles, although care should be taken to ensure that these areas are dry. Faux Frenchbo Bulldog doesn't drool, nor does it have a doggy smell. Faux Frenchbo Bulldogs have medium energy levels with moderate exercise intensity requirements, especially if their disposition resembles that of the French Bulldog. The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is eager to please and enjoys activities that provide the mental stimulation needed to avoid developing destructive behavior. |
