Frenchton Puppies Dog Breed Information

The Frenchton, also known as a Faux French Bulldog, Frenchbo, or Boston Frenchie, emerged in the 1990s as a designer breed resulting from the crossbreeding of a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier. Despite not being acknowledged by the American Kennel Club due to its mixed ancestry, it holds recognition from various organizations, such as the American Canine Hybrid Club, the International Designer Canine Registry, the Designer Breed Registry, and the Designer Dogs Kennel Club. Being a hybrid, the Frenchton can manifest a blend of traits inherited from its parent breeds. Typically, it possesses a friendly demeanor resembling that of a French Bulldog, coupled with the agility associated with a Boston Terrier.

This designer breed of dog is known for its loyalty, friendliness, and intelligence. Despite being small, they are full of energy and love to play. They are primarily companion animals and enjoy spending time with people, particularly cuddling. They are great with children, although they are better suited for older kids who can handle them carefully due to their small size. They also get along with other pets, although they may be a bit reserved with unfamiliar dogs. Early and consistent socialization can help them feel more comfortable around other dogs. They also have an instinct for being vigilant, making them good watchdogs.

Frenchtons are quite adaptable and don’t require a lot of space. Despite their lively and playful nature, they also have a relaxed side, which makes them suitable for both apartments and larger homes. They are devoted companions and crave attention, so they don’t enjoy being alone for long periods. Keeping them active and giving them attention will keep them content. Because they are small and have short noses, they are sensitive to heat and can get cold easily. They do best in moderate climates, but with your help, they can adjust to hotter or colder environments. Providing them with proper winter gear and ensuring they have access to plenty of water and a comfortable indoor temperature during hot weather will help keep them comfortable.

This breed is generally robust, but as a brachycephalic breed, characterized by a small head and snub nose, Frenchtons can be susceptible to respiratory issues, eye conditions, and digestive problems. They are also sensitive to extreme temperatures, particularly heat. Typical behaviors for Frenchtons include snorting, grunting, and occasional flatulence, which are considered normal. However, any significant deviation from these norms should prompt a visit to the veterinarian, as it could indicate illness, allergies, or dietary adjustments needed for your pet’s health.

Frenchtons are great for new dog owners. They’re smart and like making their owners happy. Sometimes they can be a bit stubborn, so taking obedience classes can help. This makes training easier, keeps it positive, and builds a strong bond with your pet. Frenchtons are sensitive to your tone, so it’s best to be firm but gentle when teaching them.

The Frenchton boasts a short coat with fine hair, commonly found in hues like black, black and white, brindle, cream, golden, and brown. While not considered hypoallergenic, their coat sheds minimally, reducing grooming needs. Brushing once or twice weekly maintains coat health, with baths required only as necessary. Regular nail trims, ear checks, and daily teeth brushing help ensure overall wellness, preventing tartar buildup and dental issues.

This breed of dog maintains a moderate activity level. Their smaller size and snub-nosed features mean they can tire easily and are prone to overexertion. Providing daily walks, occasional visits to the dog park, or indoor play sessions will ensure the Frenchton receives adequate exercise.

On average, a Frenchton is about 14 to 16 inches tall and weighs between 15 to 25 pounds.

On average, this mixed breed dog usually lives around 12 to 15 years.
