Belle is a beautiful dog, she is very energetic and cute. She went to Miami for a little while but we are really happy she is back in the City. She will always be a part of our group. Belle doesn't like delivery people or bikes (not so fun). She loves other dogs. She's been tough to house-break. We love the sound that she makes; it is if she has a little engine working all the time. Belle is great!
Character and Skills
"Active, bold, strong-willed and tough, the French Bulldog is a good watchdog. Very affectionate, intelligent and good-natured, he makes a delightful pet who needs lots of love and attention. He is gentle with children but fairly aggressive with other dogs." (The Royal Canin Dog Encyclopedia)
French Bulldog
"The French Bulldog is thought to be descended from the Tibetan or Asian Mastiff. After giving rise to the Macedonian Mastiff, the Asian Mastiff was probably imported from England by the Phoenicians. Crosses with various terriers gradually reduced the breed's size. When the breed appeared in France around 1850, it already had certain Similarities to today's French Bulldog. Subsequent crosses with the Pug and other breeds contributed to today's model. Prized ratters, French Bulldogs were kept by the butchers of La Villette in Paris and served as bodyguards to Pantin's bums (Paris's suburbs). The Standard for the breed was set around 1898. After a period of decline, the French Bulldog is now regaining popularity." (The Royal Canin Dog Encyclopedia)
