What You May Not Know About Blue French Bulldog Puppies

By Edward Williams


The blue French bulldog has one thing that makes it different - the color of its skin. It has a blue hue due to its genetic makeup. Otherwise it looks much like all other bulldogs. However, it is not allowed to participate in shows and is not recognized by breeder associations because it does not have the required white, fawn, brindle and a mixture of brindle and white color palette. The blue color eliminates it from consideration. A widespread belief is that Blue French Bulldog puppies have alopecia, a condition that causes the discoloration.

These dogs have a warm, friendly temperament and thrive on oodles of attention. They have a masculine looking build, like all bulldogs, but this belies the fact their neediness, and cuteness means they are not suitable as guard dogs. Their cuteness, however, makes many people give them the attention they are always seeking.

Allergies, particularly skin allergies can be a problem and they may often have rashes and more. The food they eat also matters and so their diet is important. Another area of concern with these animals is they may develop back or neck problems. They have a short, little spine and it may be easily injured when jumping off a bed or a sofa. More visits to the vet will probably be required than with other breeds.

Immaculate cleanliness of these creatures is another factor which makes owners drawn to them. They hate being dirty and this means that they probably do not need to be bathed nearly as much as some other breeds. The shape of their faces is flat and although this gives them their cute appearance, it also means that they cannot breathe easily. Owners may have to put up with quite a bit of snorting and some loud breathing.

One would imagine that this breed came from the country of romance because of the name but the origin is English. They originally came from Nottingham and were particularly popular at the time when lace makers plied their trade and loved having them as little lap dogs.

This type of dog is not very active and does not need to do much. They do not become overweight and do not eat too much. Their favorite activity is sitting on a lap or relaxing next to the owner. They are perfectly happy doing nothing more than going for a short walk once in a while.

These dogs become cold quickly because they have only one coat. They enjoy the warmth of being close to a human or cuddling up in a blanket during winter. These dogs do need extra layers, especially if they go out in the cold. Owners often dress them up because of this.

While some dogs enjoy water and love swimming, these dogs do not. They hate water and battle to swim with their short little legs. Owners need to take this into consideration if they have pools or live near water. The puppies often come with hefty price tags because breeders have to breed them specially and they may be difficult to find.
