Like a typical French Bulldog, long haired Frenchie dogs are playful, affectionate, and will create wonderful pets, but they do take more work for the owner to groom for their long hair. The unusual hair of these dogs is caused by a recessive genetic trait which both of its parents have. Even though the hair can be straightened with some work, it does not always cut it out. It will take persistence, patience, and the right tools to keep your Frenchie from being brushed into submission each day.

There are many long haired Frenchie breeders out there who will sell you a beautiful color puppy that comes with an adorable name. This adorable little fur ball is going to require brushing from the moment it arrives at your home. A standard brush for a bulldog is usually too large for a small face, so you may need to purchase a bristle brush designed specifically for face brushing. Be sure to ask your breeder what types of bristle brushes they use on their dogs, because it will help you determine how often you should use them. Most reputable breeders will have the grooming tools you need for both the short haired and long haired frenchie.

Because French Bulldogs are such a popular dog breed, it is not hard to find reputable French bulldog breeders. However, you will run into some bad apples, just like any other dog breed. You are going to have to do some homework and spend some time studying the prospective French bulldog breeders that you are considering. Their grooming requirements, temperament, cost of registration, and breeding history should all be taken into consideration.

A lot of people who are purchasing French bulldogs are doing so because of their unique appearance. They are known as long haired frenchies and come in a variety of colors and patterns. Some people prefer the frisky look, while others prefer to keep their dogs short haired. You must consider the health issues that you will have to deal with as you acquire this dog. It is important to have the best veterinarian available for genetic testing and to have your dog's shots before you decide to buy.

Some of the more common health issues associated with French Bulldogs are hypoglycemia and obesity. The good news is that these are relatively rare in French bulldog pups that are sold as puppy mill animals, but it still would not hurt to check out the medical history of any potential breeder or rescue. The American Kennel Club keeps an alert list of registered French bulldog breeders and rescue organizations that can provide you with the best resources for acquiring French bulldogs.

Another thing you need to consider when getting a Frenchie pup is the necessary dog training and tricks. They tend to be stubborn and will need a firm hand from the owner. You may have to invest some time in training your pet, but your puppy will thank you for it when he starts growing into an adult. You must remember that many frisky Frenchie pups were actually sired by Frenchies and so have temperament traits associated with that breed. This means you must also take care of proper grooming and dog care so that your dog does not turn out like the Frenchies.

There are some red hair genes that are passed down from one generation to another in the Frenchie breed so you might want to find out if your puppy shares any of these red hair genes with his ancestor. If you do find that your dog does have the red hair genes then you can look for a dog that doesn't have the red hair genes. You can also talk to the local breeder or the person who raised the puppy in order to find out more information about the dog. The breeder can sometimes help you choose between dogs that share a lot of things in common.

Regular brushing is extremely important as you want to keep the coat long, shiny, and healthy. Regular brushing will keep the long fur beautiful and shiny. But without regular brushing the long fur can get matted and tangled and tangles can become a big problem. You should brush your Frenchie often especially during the spring time when new fur is being produced. You should brush them on a regular basis after every bath and you should comb them on a regular basis since the tangles can lead to heavy mats. Regular brushing and combing will keep your Frenchie looking beautiful without regular shedding.
