French Bulldog
Last checked 2026-07-03
A compact, short-faced dog that is playful and suitable for condos because it is quiet and requires little exercise. But in Thailand, they must only be raised in air-conditioned rooms because their flat faces make them very easily overheated and risk life-threatening heat stroke. Not a breed that should be taken out into the sun.
