The French Bulldog is a charming, affectionate dog with a healthy dose of stubborn character. He is cheerful and playful but also has a remarkable talent for lazily lounging on the sofa — preferably as close to you as possible. He isn't noisy but has a strong opinion about when he feels like doing something.
