1. Theyāre Low-Energy, But Need Regular Activity
Frenchies arenāt marathon runners, but they still need daily walks (10-15 minutes) and playtime to stay healthy. Their short snouts mean they can overheat easily, so skip the long hikes and keep exercise gentle, especially in hot weather. Are you ready to keep your pup active without overdoing it?

2. Health Needs Extra TLC
Those adorable squishy faces come with a brachycephalic (short-nosed) structure, which can lead to breathing issues or sensitivity to heat. Regular vet checkups, a healthy diet, and keeping them cool are musts. Genetic testing and health guarantees from ethical breeders (like us!) help ensure your pup starts life strong. Does your family have the time and budget for vet visits and quality care?
3. They Thrive on Attention
Frenchies are people pleasers and love being part of the action. If your household is often empty or super hectic, a Frenchie might feel lonely. Theyāre happiest with families who can shower them with love and include them in daily routines. Can your family give a Frenchie the attention they crave?
4. Grooming Is Easy, But Allergies Might Pop Up
Their short coats are low-maintenance just a quick brush and occasional bath keep them shiny. But some Frenchies can have skin allergies or sensitivities, so youāll need to watch for itchiness and work with your vet if issues arise. Are you prepared for a little extra care if needed?
5. Training Takes Patience
Frenchies are smart but can be a tad stubborn (in the cutest way!). Positive reinforcement works wonders, but youāll need consistency to teach them manners. If your family loves a training challenge and has time for short, fun sessions, youāll be set. Got the patience to guide your pup with kindness?
Is Your Lifestyle a Frenchie Match?
Picture this: a Frenchie snoozing on your lap after a fun game of fetch in the living room. Sounds perfect, but letās make sure your lifestyle aligns:
Apartment Dwellers: Frenchies are great for small spaces since they donāt need a big yard. Just keep those walks short and sweet!
Families with Kids: Their gentle demeanor makes them awesome for kids, but teach little ones to handle them gently to avoid stress.
Busy Professionals: If youāre out all day, a Frenchie might need a pet sitter or daycare to keep them company.
First-Time Dog Owners: Frenchies are beginner-friendly with their easygoing nature, as long as youāre ready to learn about their needs.
Questions to Ask Your Family
Still daydreaming about those squishy faces? Here are some questions to chat about with your crew:
Do we have time for daily walks and playtime, even on busy days?
Are we ready to budget for premium food, vet care, and possible health needs?
Can we give our Frenchie lots of love and attention every day?
Are we okay with some snoring, snorting, and silly Frenchie sounds? (Trust us, theyāre adorable!)
