French Bulldog

French Bulldog
1936

The French Bulldog has long been popular in France, where it is claimed as the national breed. When introduced into England about forty years ago it caused a mild sensation and also a good deal of amusement due, probably, to its curious bat-like ears. It is, however, a handsome little fellow, very game and affectionate, making an ideal companion. Strangely enough, it is very similar to the Boston Terrier (see No. 45 of this series), America's national dog, the only appreciable difference being that the Boston Terrier has cropped ears.
