According to the French Bulldog Club of Great Britain , minimal exercise is needed, but several short daily walks (up to one hour/day) are required.

Are French Bulldogs easy to train?

Although they’re people oriented and eager to please, French Bulldogs tend to have a stubborn streak when it comes to training.

“Charlie is a typical Frenchie – he’s so happy and lovely, but also has a mind of his own and is quite stubborn.”

That being said, here are a few funny quirks that some of our members’ pooches have:

Owner Marianne on her French Bulldog, Hypnos:

“He makes lots of noises, which includes snorting, grunting, snoring, and farting. It’s all part of his charm.”

Owner Charlie on his French Bulldog, Milo:

“Milo just wants to be cuddled all of the time, by as many people as possible, for the rest of his life. He’s loving, stubborn, slightly lazy and a bit of a clown.”
