Look at me! I am a Frenchton puppy! My Mom is Tina a Boston Terrier. My Dad is a French Bulldog. I was born on November 17th and I will be ready for my forever home on January 13th! I have been family raised on a farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and dewormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact John Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
This charming, little mixed breed between a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier was developed during the 1990s and bred for companionship. This breed is easy-going, intelligent, fun-loving, and friendly. They are great for apartment living, large families, and new dog owners. However, they do require lots of love and attention or they can develop separation anxiety. This breed needs about 30 minutes of exercise a day as well as some play time, and then they are ready to snuggle. Frenchtons are great with children, but due to their being on the smaller size supervision is advised as it is with any dog. The Frenchton can sometimes be a bit stubborn so early training and socialization would be important. They do get along with other pets, but may not be as happy with other dogs in the home. Therefore introducing the Frenchton as a puppy to other dogs in the home is crucial, however, they do prefer to be the main canine in the home. The Frenchton is generally 9-15 inches high, usually weighs 15-25 pounds, and typically has a lifespan of 8-15 years. Due to the bodily structure of the Frenchton it is extremely important to keep them away from water, for they cannot swim. They also need to avoid extremes in weather, whether too hot or too cold. Their coat is short and smooth, and easy to care for, just a few brushes each week. Even though they have a short coat they do shed a lot, so this breed may not be the best for allergy sufferers.
