It is important to give them at least a thirty minute walk everyday for them to be able to stretch their legs.

Quite a few previous owners will also tell you that this dog loves attention, and it wants a lot of it. Many will say they are attention whores and want to be attended to most if not all of the time. If on the chance it feels neglected, it will let out a ululating howl which many have termed as the French death yodel.

Their fun personality and loving nature has been a boon for this dog as these two distinct traits makes it a very popular breed indeed. It has always landed in the top ten most popular dog breeds in both United Kingdom and US charts for dogs. Thus if you have decided n getting this particular breed, you will be one of very many indeed.

Thus this article has shown some basic facts you need to know about the frenchie so that you will be better prepared to take care of one. Remember to do more research on this dog for it takes a lot of commitment and responsibility to become a good pet and dog owner.
