Do frenchies make good pets?
Absolutely! Frenchies are bred
as companion dogs and are very loyal. They love to be around people and are typically always at your side.
Frenchies can be a stubborn breed, but it is our experience that they listen exceptionally well and are very obedient.
Are
they easy to house train?
Frenchies are easily house broken with consistant training.
Our eldest was house broken at eight weeks old. We do not train our frenchies to potty on newspaper
or pee pads in the house. They are taken outside several times a day and encouraged to potty on the grass.
Do frenchies need to
be groomed?
Frenchies
do not need to be groomed. They are a shorthaired
breed, so all they need is an occasional bath, their ears cleaned, and their nails trimmed. They are a very low maintenance
breed.
How do frenchies get along with other pets?
Frenchies get along great with other pets. They are known to chase small mammals such as rabbits, so no
dog should ever be left unattended with small mammals. Our frenchies are socialized with rabbits, cats, and other dogs and we don't have any problems; however,
there is your occasional dog that doesn't follow this mold, but can still make a wonderful pet by being in a single pet
home.
What type of living conditions
should a frenchie have?
Frenchies are a small dog and they do well in a large house or an apartment. They are very flexible.
Do they require a lot of exercise?
Frenchies are generally a lazy
breed. Our girls absolutely love to play ball in the backyard and go for walks, but they are not a breed
that can be excessively exercised.
What kind of food do you feed your frenchies?
Our kids are fed an all-natural organic food.
We typically change their food every four or five months to ensure that they are receiving a well balance of all essential
nutrients. Our girls eat about a half-cup twice a day. Food is something that should not be skimped on. A
25 lbs. bag typically costs $45- $55.
Do frenchies have health problems?
Frenchies are usually better
off than many of their bulldog cousins, but there is a concern for some health problems in the breed. Hip dysplasia, spinal
conditions and breathing problems are some of the major concerns that can be found in this breed . As breeders,
we do testing to try to prevent as many genetic health problems as possible.
