The French Bulldog belongs to the AKC Non-Sporting Group and has a comical personality. Frenchies, as they are sometimes called, love to clown around and are fun to watch. This breed gets along very well with other people, including strangers, and plays well with other dogs. Frenchies are definitely known to thrive on companionship and do not like to be left alone. This breed does best in a family with respectful children. They respond well to training if consistent and patient. Due to their facial structure, they should not be exercised or left in extreme heat or they may acquire heat strokes. Care should be taken near pools or areas of water such as lakes and ponds because they cannot swim!
