12 Amazing Facts About French Bulldogs You Probably Didn’t Know

#7 In general, these dogs were not bred to be kept outdoors. While they enjoy having a yard at their disposal, they should always be able to rest indoors in a well-tempered environment.

#8 The French bulldog actually owes its name to a very special class of the population – French prostitutes.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, these ladies of the night especially appreciated the cute bulldogs as companions. The scantily clad ladies can also be seen posing with their dogs on suggestive postcards. Because of this, the dogs were soon called "Bouledogue français", although the breed originally came from England.

#9 Most French bulldog litters are achieved through artificial insemination – because the lazy dogs tend to become exhausted before they can complete their act.

Their unique physique also makes it difficult for the dogs to copulate with each other. Of course, this drives up the price for the puppies – because artificial insemination is not cheap.
