Identify A French Bulldog

The French Bulldog is most certainly a descendant of the English Bulldog. Around the turn of the century, there were a number of bulldogs imported into France and significant efforts were made in breeding a sort of "toy" bulldog. The French Bulldog was one such result and has the characteristic bat-like ears. Read on to learn more.


Instructions


1. Examine the overall appearance of the dog. The French Bulldog is an intelligent solidly built dog. It is compactly built and has a smooth coat. It is curious and alert.


2. Look at the ears. The French Bulldog has a very characteristic type of ear. They appear like the ears of a bat. They sit up on the head and the orifice of the ear is pointed towards the front.


3. The eyes of the French Bulldog are generally dark and wide set apart sitting low on the head. The eyes are round and not sunken or bulging looking.


4. The coat is short hair and has soft skin. The area on the head and shoulders is loose and tends to form wrinkles.


5. Examine the tail. It is either straight or screwed. It is short, almost like a stub, being fat at the base and comes to a fine tip.


6. The hind legs are stout and muscular. They are a bit longer than the front legs, raising the hind above the level of the shoulders.
