Hi! I'm not an expert, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend the breed. I had a Frenchie for 10 years and discovered they suffered from so many health issues. My dog struggled to breathe, exercise, eat and drink for years. She had to have surgery twice just so she could breathe more naturally. Bulldogs literally can't have natural births and can't swim either...they suffer from eye problems, skin problems...I just pity the breed now. I own a Coton de Tulear now and it's a much healthier dog that I don't feel guilty about owning. Sorry for being so negative, I hope this gave you some insight before you decide to bring one home...
