Things 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.

While the name conjures up images of this breed being French in origin, they actually come from Nottingham in England. They were most popular in England at a time when lace makers used to value them as lap dogs.

The laziness of these animals is part of what makes them so easy to take care of. They do not need to be taken out on long, walks every day. They are perfectly happy to be in the home with their owners, often snuggled closely beside them or on their laps. They do not battle with obesity and remain healthy with only a short walk every now and then.

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.
