I don't know how far he'd be willing to go. Is it complicated to bring a dog into the States from Canada?
From the ones i met, the lazy thing doesn't kick in until they're closer to 4-5 or so. They're pretty energetic little bulldozers!
Well all young dogs have energy, but compared to other breeds they're pretty chill, no? Going off what I read they do fine on a walk and some playing everyday. It would be his first dog. His last girlfriend turned him on to them and every time he comes over and Tucker is being Tucker (chasing cat, jumping on someone, barking at someone) he says "Why didn't you guys get a French Bulldog?". Last time I told him I didn't like Frenchies, he asked why, I told him I like more energetic and athletic dogs, and he replied "but they're good for people in apartments right?" (which he is) and I said yes, "and they're usually friendly?" yup. So if he's gonna get a dog I do think it would be a good breed for him compared to all the other breeds.
But it likely won't be anytime soon. I just hope I can keep him from going to a pet store when the time comes. I suppose fear of terrible health conditions will be my best weapon.
Thanks for the link Mick'smom, they seem good, they show and health test for cardiac problems. That was my biggest problem, I couldn't find breeders who did any health tests.
Speaking of which, what should breeders test their Frenchies for?
