決める前に知っておくこと

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

Challenge重度の分離不安

フレンチブルドッグは本当の意味での「ベルクロ犬」です。自立性は極めて低い評価を受けています。標準的な就業日（8時間）一人にしておくと、「フレンチ・デス・スクリーム」と呼ばれる、苦しんでいる人間の子供のような心を引き裂く鳴き声を上げることが多く、破壊的な噛み癖や室内での排泄も起こります。毎日のデイケアの予算がなく、外で働く独身のオーナーには向いていません。

Challenge頑固さとトイレトレーニング

この犬種はトイレトレーニングが非常に難しいことで知られています。頑固な性格に加え、小さな膀胱と雨・寒さへの嫌悪感から、成犬になっても粗相が続くことがあります。厳しいしつけには応じず、ただ心を閉ざしてしまいます。

Critical捕食本能

ユーモラスな外見にもかかわらず、テリアの血を引いています（ネズミ捕りの先祖から）。一緒に育てていない場合、ハムスターやモルモット、時には猫などの小動物に危険な存在になることがあります。
