A DOZEN REASONS WHY...
1.His
size, personality and appearance make him an ideal pet.
2. He is adaptable, happy in most environments, city flat
or country estate.
3. He seldom barks.
4. He keeps out of trouble and does not generally interfere
with other dogs or people.
5. He is rarely destructive.
6. He is happy with sensible, well behaved children, and
enjoys their company.
7. He is unsurpassable as an adult's companion, reading
ones every mood and need, and responding accordingly.
8. He is extremely intelligent and quick to learn.
9. Generally of a gentle personality, he responds to
encouragement to play, and can play by himself or with his owner.
He is amusing and easily amused.
10. He has a short smooth coat, and does not shed
over-much.
11. He is distinctive; his bat ears make him a noticeable
individual.
12. He does not need docking, nor his dewclaws removed, nor
clipping or trimming his coat, he is easy to groom.
AND A FEW REASONS WHY NOT...
1. He is
totally dependant on human companionship, should not be left alone
for long periods of time or will be like other breeds, very
destructive. He is unsuitable for families where all members are
at work all day.
2. He does not take kindly to kennel life, and being a
house dog can pine and become ill if placed in boarding kennels.
3. He can suffer from flatulence.
4. His facial wrinkles, ears and the creases around his
tail need to be kept clean at all times.
5. He needs some regular exercise, although he suffers in
the heat and can not be considered a "joggers" dog. If kept fit he
enjoys long rambling walks on a regular basis.
6. Being left in a car on a hot day can kill most dogs,
especially bull breeds, very quickly. Frenchies hate to be left;
panic and heat are a lethal mix
(see article on
Heatstroke).
7. He hates being cold too!
8. Without regular and caring human attention he will be a
boring and bored little person, his disposition makes him an ideal
pet for an ideal owner.
FINALLY..
Think carefully before you have our breed, they can become
addictive, but a change of home for an adult Frenchie may break
their heart.
