All about French Bulldog

Do not let them sleep with you.

There are dogs that urinate on the bed of their masters and to this, the renowned “Dog Whisperer” of TV, Cesar Millan, said the owner’s fault, because “no conduct that would give more power leading to sleep with the dog in the same bed. There are many owners who do, and this is a blunder, and then run into problems as the dog urinates on the bed to mark the territory. ”

He wrote this on his blog encantadordeperros.es Millán, in which said bed to sleep in the master the animal power leadership.

To correct this problem, suggests not let go to bed or chairs. Should rest in another room, in the basket or on a special pillow for the dog.

Walking With Your Dog

Dogs are great walking companions, great personal trainers, and great nags. If you begin walking with your dog, you may soon find his tail is wagging your walking program. They are ready to walk when you are (unlike friends and family), will tow you down the trail, and let you know when it is time to lace up your sneakers.

Dog Training

Opt for formal classes, if they are available and affordable. Start while the dog is a puppy, and continue until the dog can be trusted off leash. Your dog can earn the AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate, which indicates a level of obedience and training attained. If attending classes is not possible, you may want to try training books, such as Carol Lea Benjamin’s Mother Knows Best, Surviving Your Dog’s Adolescence, or Dog Training in 10 Minutes. The end result of good training is a dog that is a pleasure to walk with — one that will sit, down and heel on command, as necessary. You really don’t want to be towed into the sunset at about 60 MPH!

Walking Your Dog on a Leash

If your dog is on a leash, it can’t get away and cause problems. Consider using a pinch collar while walking your dog, if he is a puller, to increase your control and comfort. Some walkers use a harness, and others find retractable leashes to be the best way to give the dog a little more slack, then reel them in as needed.

Are Dogs Allowed Where You Plan to Walk?

Check with the organizers of walking events you plan to attend. If walking in a park, call ahead to check to see if there are any restrictions. Note that dogs are sometimes allowed on trails, but not in shuttle buses or visitors’ centers.

Carry a Pooper Scooper

If you don’t have (or want to purchase) the actual tool, try a plastic bag. Many carry the plastic bags that newspapers sometimes come in. When the bag is placed over the hand, you can pick up what you have to, turn the bag inside out, and tie the end closed. Dispose of it properly. Zip-closure storage bags are another secure option.

Staying Hydrated

Carry water for both you and your pet. You can use your hand as a water dish for him. Some walkers suggest using collapsible cups, inflatable water dishes, and zip-closure bags, as well.

Taking Time for Rest

Find a shady spot and take ten. Play with the dog, talk to other walkers, and cool down a bit. Dogs can’t sweat. They keep cool by panting, finding shady spots, walking in water, and drinking lots of water. If you are walking near water in the summer, find a safe place (not public beaches) and let your dog go swimming. If you drove to your walking spot, be sure not to leave your dog in a vehicle unattended if it’s warm out and you’re making stops on your way home.

Identification

Every dog should have a couple of forms of identification. Name tags and collars get lost. Tattoos and embedded micro-chips will back up the name tag. You should carry a clear photo of the dog, which can aid in recovery, should such a situation arise. Also, some areas of the country require you to carry your dog’s rabies certificate with you.

Is Your Dog Ready?

Before taking a dog on a 10K Volksmarch, consider if the dog is healthy enough, has the desire, and is trained enough to walk the distance at your side. You should get an OK from your veterinarian if your pooch has any sort of medical problem, is overweight, etc. Work up to the longer distances with him by doing the shorter distances first.

” Quote “

It happens every time I lose a dog, takes a piece of my heart with him. And every dog that comes into my life gives me a piece of him. If I live long enough, all parts of my heart and dog will get to be so generous and kind as they are.

Growth Control

During the first 16 (French bulldog) to 24 (English bulldog) months to live our bulldog will experience a great development. In males it is later than in females, becausethestructure of the skull is not fully developed until that age. It is important to review at leastevery 3 months (some match and vaccines, microchip, deworming) to make sure we do not show developmental disorders. If detected, such as poor growth of the bone structure, we can try to avoid it, but only if caught while still growing.

Water and Bulldogs

Water and Bulldogs:

Most bulldogs can’t swim,  at least 75% of there total weight is concentrated in their massive heads, shoulders, and torso.  A bulldog is seldom able to keep his large head and short nose above water. Even in depths of as little as 2 feet.  They do however love to play in the water.

Elongated Soft Palate

Elongated Soft Palate:

All bulldogs have an elongated soft palate, this is because of the shape of their heads (i.e.:brachycephaic-short-nosed). In most cases this causes nothing more than snoring, but in severe cases can possibility cause difficulty in breathing. Heat and exercise will cause loud gurgle breathing, (known as “roaring”). The severity can range from loud breathing when excited, to regurgitation of food to permanent breathing difficulties. The condition can be corrected with surgery.

Cherry Eye



This is where the gland from the third eyelid protrudes in the corner of the eye.  You will need to bring the dog to the vet and have it removed.  This is not a major surgery!  You do however need a vet that knows what he/she is doing if done incorrectly it could cause a dry eye.  After a couple of days of putting ointment in the eye from the vet it will all look normal.
