I don’t think this question can be really answered . Depends on what do U need or expect from the dog and what can U offer to it. Many aspects to be considered …

Hi, from my experience in normal conditions not.
Only when there is too hot. And it also depends on physical activity of the dog – the more frenchie plays the more drools. But that is mostly same for all dogs I think.
They might be a bit more ‘messy’ when eating or drinking /depending on type of food/ as they might be not able to lick they mouth as good as other dogs.

Hello, as a child, I had a very loving and intellegent Boston Terrior. It was everything a child could ask for in a playmate. Your article brought back so many memories and I still at times get a little teary eyed thinking of my Skipper, who died much to early. Thank you so much for a lovely article, I’m so glad I came onto the inernet and tuned into your blog. Keep up the happy stories about one of the greatest doggies that ever lived. Eve

I have had many bostons . The first one my brother recieved as a gift. my hole famly fell in love with them. One thing i have notice of all the bostons my famly has had is that they are very protective of the kids in the famly. They will not tolerate anyone (incoulding mom and dad) harming the children. They also make very good mousers. very fun loveing and get upset if some one of the famly leaves or passes away. Mine may be weird but if a cat is rasied with them they will not harm it and will stop there dogs from harming them. I am glad to have seen this website because i have been thinking of getting a french bulldog.

Hi, and thanks for a very informative web page comparing French bulldogs to Boston terriers. I just wanted to call your attention to a small error. Despite their name, French bulldogs did not originate in France. According to the AKC web site, French bulldogs were originally bred by 19th century English lacemakers to serve as companions. When some of the lacemakers moved to France, they took the dogs with them and the dogs became popular there. 19th century American tourists saw the dogs in France and gave them the moniker.

I have a frenchie too and was curious if it is not a Boston Terrier. Body not so dwarf-like as usual frenchie. Very active and full of energy when outside, loves to play and runs arond like a fool with no reason . 2-3 hrs walk in hills is no problem. Loves snow. Definitely not a couch potato. Sometimes barks, does not snores as the nose is a bit longer. The dog just loves everyone mostly children but is more likely to respect the authoritative people just like other dogs. Perfect company for its low requirements, can travel long distances as it is able to sleep in every position, sometimes looks realy weird. Absolutely not a watch dog – does not bother when doorbell is ringing…not an earthquake can wake her up .

Good Read. Sometimes I think my Frenchie looks like a Boston T.
