NEW VIDEO! French Bulldog 5 YEAR REVIEW | How is my frenchie doing? czcams.com/video/PgRLK9KmQ5E/video.html
You can’t understand the love you can have for an animal until you own a French Bulldog.
Nate Mac i agree 100%
I have also fallen in love with a boston terrier but the frenchie is my fat little baby!
@@Lennox1492 we have both and the love is definitely different .. lol
That’s an understatement!
We have three. They consume me. But that’s the way I am so I have to live with the monsters I created!! I love them like my own kids but all six are grown and I have grandkids I adore also but don’t see often so these furbabies fill any gap I may have needed in caring for another creature. Actually I think they take more work than my kids did. I think they cost more money too. But as they sleep on the bed all around me as I rest, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I love them so much!
Or any dog tbh
Agree 100%. My boy James is like my kid. Love my boy to pieces.
Our frenchie had to get a little nose job so she could breathe better, and it definitely helped her!!!
So glad! Ours too!
I've got a pup who may need the same. Got to wait until she fully grow, she's insured!
I want a frenichie but am concerned about bet bills, especially about their breathing issues, how much did the nose operation cost?
@@freyadennis6100 they are expensive even after buying one, see here for costs of his operation: czcams.com/video/jmB7Y_rGVzE/video.html
Them and pugs. Isn't that breeding issues?
I just got my two-month-old Frenchie I've had them for about 3 weeks now I grew up with a black lab and had several cats but this dog is like a little human he's just literally like a little baby human boy he's so sweet and precious but I am going to honestly say I got what I asked for everybody warned me of how hard this was going to be and it's a lot of responsibility money time and energy this breed of dog wants to be with you 24/7 so anyone that's going to get one really prepare yourself you're in for it but you're also one for unconditional love that will make your day everyday
I love this video. It’s not like every other CZcamsr. It’s like I’m watching a friend tell me about his dog in front of me.. but just through a screen 😅
Exactly, something different. I'm a Frenchie pet parent too.
My dog stunk and shed a lot when I first got him. Then I switched to raw food and it 100% got rid of the smell and 90% of the shedding.
What brand do you get?
Meat, chicken and fish (Mackerel is great) from the grocery store or butcher.
@@patrickpatterson630 Canned sardines are also a good option. Any fish that's high in Omega 3's will help.
@@tl9113 I just make it myself beef...sardines coconut oil, fermented veggies, mushrooms, and seeds...its complicated, but I actually enjoy it.
D. Jackson II me too it’s also healthier for them versus feeding them kibbles n they don’t fart as much n their poop is small n not smelly
Omg I melt when I see frenchies. They are adorable honestly. But it breaks my heart to see how much effort it takes for them to breathe. So I wouldn't get one ever. I wish long and happy life for your dog.
Thats what im scared of when i get my pupper.
It all depends on where you get them from. We got our bulldogs from good breeders and neither of them have a hard time breathing.
I have had nothing but Frenchies since 1990 when you NEVER saw one in the street!!!!!! They are the best.
Me as well. Have had them since 1993. My 3 yr old brindle girl hardly. sheds. She gets bathed about once a month and NEVER SMELLS .
She has no allergies what so ever . Healthy as a horse . I have to speak up about the parasites this dog came home with....that is the fault
Of the BREEDER. No reputable breeder would let a sick puppy go to a home! At the very least they SHOULD have paid for the Vet bills.
I could go on and on about breeders but that’s another topic. My point is with good breeding and nutrition you should have heathy dog for
Many years . I find it somewhat off putting that some who has. owned 1 Frenchie for 1 year fancies himself an expert on the breed.
Who cares. Good for you
Wow, where'd you get them in 1990 if there was none on the street? Love frenchies
I mean you NEVER saw a Frenchie outside of a dog show. They were almost extinct after WWII but American breeders brought them back. I got my first one from a rescue.
I am not getting a Frenchie now because of this video - I am so happy, you made a video that tells it like it is. And you are a wonderful doggie dad! Thanks for putting genuinely informative content out there.
Thank you that is very sweet of you to say and I hope whatever dog you do decide on brings you years of love and joy!
You truly are smart. The most devastating other than the vet bill's is watching these flat faced dogs suffer and struggle to breathe.
Get a corgi they are lovely lol
If you buy a dog from breeder with fci certificate, you wont have breathing, bones and other problems. Mine doesnt even snore. Maybe we are lucky, i dont know but im extremely happy. If you are on a tight budget then this might not be the best dog for you because he has to eat premium food etc.. Anyways if you decide for a french bulldog, you can ask me anything you want😀.. I also was in the same situation and it wasnt an easy decision. Now im glad I got a frenchie, my whole family loves him and he loves them even more. That little pig changed our lives. ❤️
Lovro Cosic - we have three and they all have a bit more snout than this fellas. The boys don’t snore a lot or loud. The girl snores like crazy but she has a little shorter snout than the boys. We got her from a bad breeder nearby. I think of her as more of a rescue. She doesn’t even have authentic Frenchie traits. But she’s our little odd ball and we adore her! She’s the sweetest!
We bought our boys from the same breeder in Iowa. Both blue(gray)&white. Tons of allergy/yeast and itching/chewing. Going thru foods and diets to stop the yeast. I found one online which is a no carb diet and I bought the Dinovite and their LickOChops oil to supplement. Only one week one of three month diet so we’ll see.
They’ve cost a fortune. But we have three. If only one maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. As for vet bills you just never know no matter what kind of dog or animal you get.
I’ve had labs for years but wanted a Frenchie for years, our blue Frenchie boy is 2 now and I can honestly say I’m utterly besotted. He’s totally the love of my life! We are lucky he’s had no allergies but he definitely needs loads of attention & care. 😍❤️
I absolutely love French bull dogs they amazing like little pigs 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Love them 2
I love you...period
😁.I call mine my little pig..
Bat pigs 😀
So true
I’ve had my totally precious frenchie for 5 years!! My first frenchie!!! I’m in LOVE!!! Best, sweetest, cutest, most loyal & loving babies EVER!!! She was 8 weeks old & chewed through her soft crate!! I had a migraine & left her in her soft crate while I tried to get over it...she chewed through the soft crate & came to my bedroom door.... she’s been beside me in bed ever since!! Love my girl!!!!
You seem such a nice person. Your dog is so lucky to have an owner like you. Take care all the best of health to you and your dog.
You are such a wonderful pet owner! Your Frenchie is so lucky to have you!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us! I have a 15 month old brindle boy named Julio, and these dogs are quite the character!! I just love them ❤️
Sweet owner= sweet dog
What an awesome video, thank you for sharing. Your little dog is very lucky to have you as his caretaker. God bless you ❤️
I love how much he loves his dog like a family member.
I have a 7 month old Frenchie. Never had a dog so human. He is my best friend.
yeah... Frenchies are superrrrrr lovingggg!
I love my Frenchie! Same color as yours. Best dog I ever owned.
What a beautiful human you are to speak in such a loving and respectful way about your little man
so glad I came across this video! My frenchie is about to turn 1 and he is the best thing that has happened to me:) . I’m glad you made it a point to talk about the breeding health and expenses that come with owning a frenchie!
Awesome hearing the love in your voice towards your dog.
Thank you for the info. But most of all, THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A responsible & CARING PET OWNER!!
He is one handsome little savage, lol!
Spoil him well; he's definitely a blessing.
We have 2 Frenchies and have found out that Fromms is a wonderful food for thier coats and pooping too. Also our vet did a procedure on thier nairs and that has helped so much. I know that you probably get so many comments But you are so right the surgery is so helpful so that they can breathe.
Everything you said about people telling you how you're raising your dog wrong is so on point!!
I love and applaud the love you show for your dog! We have 2 Frenchies and so much of what said resonates with our household.
Thank you! How is it with 2? We keep thinking about getting another
@@TonyCassara It's pretty much all the work and fun of having one Frenchie but multiplied by two. LOL I will say that we likely won't be adding a 3rd - there's just so much mischief my wife and I can handle at one time. :-)
Thank you, loved the message!
Love the way you provide information regarding French Bull Dogs. So clear . Ty
Yes more totrelino videos please! Especially about care and health, our french bulldog is 8 months old now. Your wife's crating video helped me so much for our puppy and also her recipe video for him. Thanks for being fur parent roll models!!!
I have two French bulldogs and I still found this pretty helpful! I knew most of what you were talking about still very helpful 💜
I’m grateful frenchie owners like you are educating themselves! I worry most owners are just living in ignorance of their dog’s suffering.
I've been readiing and watching vlogs around about the pros and cons of owning a frenchie. Your love for your frenchie is impressive; -the pros has outweighed the cons. Worth the risk of having one. Nice vlog, thanks for sharing.
Yes I had one who passed at 12 years old. He slept with us always. Great companion and he talked. Yep, he would throw a fit when his Daddy got out of car which put him into a fit saying “I want my Daddy” over and over and like “hey, you got the hamburger you need to give me the french fries!! Yep like now, and how about a little bit of that burger. He was a great companion and miss him. Your dog is much bigger. But, he never knew his size. Loved everyone!
I’m getting my first French Bulldog June 23rd and I can’t wait. But as somebody who’s only ever owned staffie bull terriers it’s a whole new ball game for me, so a big learning curve!
Love ❤️ your Frenchie too is so cute !!!!I’m happy you love him he is so handsome and yes !!!!I subscribed
I feel pretty lucky, we have a 15mo female, she has no allergies and no health issues. She is an extremely picky eater so it has been difficult finding food she'll eat but she has been perfect. Loving, outgoing, clumsy, and a clown... She is an awesome dog.
Mine loves blue Buffalo
Thanks for the info. I would love to have a French bulldog!😊
My sweet mixed breed 60 lb heeler lab catahoula has taken Apoquel daily for allergies for 2 years. It’s worked wonders!
Sometimes in the summer she needs to take it twice a day ... but usually once a day is enough.
Good luck! Precious creatures in our care ...
Thanks for Your honesty!
This was very informative thanks! You‘re Frenchie is super cute. Greetings from Switzerland 😀
These little guys and the PUG are both super awesome dogs!!! Their behavior and their moods are incredibly fun!!! They're so funny and active!!! AWWWWWE he was crying for months??? I could never get an animal by itself!!! I always get 2 of everything I choose... 2 kitties, 2 puppies... and I always get them a little younger than most people do... I go for 5 weeks old and by doing it this way, their bond with me becomes much stronger!!! There are healthy organic foods for dogs that will keep their bowels stable and firm, so that will help you!!! You 2 will adjust to each other because that is nature!!! Just follow your instincts and you will be fine!!! HAVE FUN!!!
Do they act somewhat the same???
Love you Tony
I had a French bulldog for 14!years...
A lot of the problems you’ve mentioned are due to bad breeding practices due to the surge in popularity of the breed.
Luckily for me mine was free of the ailments you’ve mentioned... also she was fed homemade grain free food and bone broth
Your amazing bro to be honest the best video I seen by far . Thanks to for time
You are absolutely correct about the personality’s of frenchies. I have 2 and they are the BEST dogs I’ve ever had. So loving and loyal . Definitely have very very sensitive stomachs but I wouldn’t trade mine no matter how many special accommodations I have to make for them!
We love ours too!! Best personalities!
I am obsessed with dogs every dog but I have had frenchies for a long time now and I couldn’t ask for better dogs! They bring such amazing happiness!
Great video. Informative, credible, and humorous. My little Max is going to have stenotic snares surgery on Oct 9th. I have been a little worried but after watching your video, I believe my fears can now be set aside. Wish me luck! Thanks again for your video.
Good luck! Tortellino’s so much more energetic since the surgery
I’m so happy I came across this video. I lived with my Nana & Papa for 5 years before getting married, & she had three Frenchies. Elliott is her oldest, Gracie (she passed away 3 weeks ago) was the middle, & Luke is the baby of the bunch. Luke was actually diagnosed with epilepsy in June of this year, & poor Elliott has really really bad allergies. Frenchies are the best little pups, & their personalities are the cutest! Your little baked potato is a cutie patootie! 😊
So sorry for your loss :( they really are amazing dogs
I love the way you love your dog! I have an 8 month old Frenchie named Astro and I am obsessed with him! Frenchies are truly a special breed.
Astro what a great name 😁
yasmine vasquez my 7 month old Frenchies name is Rocket.
I have two Frenchies and I am obsessed. They are my babies, best breed regardless of all their health issues! ❤
This sounds just like my friend’s Frenchie! All of the same problems, except that he doesn’t have short snout problems. Luckily he got insurance for him before any problems started, otherwise they are pre existing conditions. They did fix him after 18 months. I’m sure that people are always giving you advice. Thank you for fixing his breathing and his balls!
Love my frenchie.
Omg .. our frenchie loves to play with the big dogs at the Park too! That is hysterical! They are the best. We have had 3. 1 lived to be 15 which is unheard of. 1 had a lot of sikcness at passed at 9 and we still have Annie. They are amazing. But they are reallt hard to potty train.. totally. All 3 have been .
Wow 15, did you get that one from a breeder?
Lots of good info. I adopted my brindle frenchie Skip, aka Skipper about 9 months ago, he's 4 and a half years old now. I'm a first time dog owner and also live in an apartment, being a single guy It's a fair amount of responsibility and commitment but I think it's so worth it, my lil Skipper has taught me so much, he's like he's my child and I'd do just about anything for him, he's always happy and there for me!
Sweet!! Frenchies are girl magnets too, wish I had one when I was single haha 😂
I know about that problem I got a dog from a breeder that came with that parasite as well. Glad you were able to cure it
He IS an adorable little dog, and you’re an awesome owner!
And you’re right; the “standards” are cruel. It’s pretty gross how humans breed entirely for their own entertainment,; it’s wrong and we should think about the dog’s health, happiness and enjoyment of life, as well.
Love his name: Tortellino💖
Thank you for this information. Hopefully people check these videos out so they know about, whatever breed. We need your info so people won't abuse an animal they know nothing about. Very best of luck with your little guy, he's beautiful. Merry Christmas.
They are an amazing breed and we love our two, one is on allergy tablet which we know will shorten his life but it gives him quality of life at the moment, we’ve been through different foods too & at the moment they are both on 100% raw which has helped with tummy & stool problems enormously so we’re sticking with that for now. The youngest one is beginning to get allergies (2years old) but helped with just allergy tablets so far & seems seasonal (fingers crossed), her breathing isn’t as bad as your dogs and our other ones breathing is pretty good so we’re lucky. We’ve chosen not to breed due to the breeds problems. Good luck with the surgery and yes they are happy little dogs
He is the sweetest ❤️❤️😭
I had a pug, I loved him so much. Just thinking about him makes me sad, I miss him so much.🤣
They leave marks on our hearts 💖
I wanted a frenchie, this video change mi mind, too expensive, and to many breath problems, thanks dude.
Glad I could help your decision! It's a huge responsibility taking care of these dogs.
The honest kitchen is great food!! My 3 year old is finally having normal poops and less allergy issues from their limited ingredient white fish
ali lorenzo our frenchie has done super well on honest kitchen!
I love the honesty of your video. I rescued a Frenchie from a local shelter. You would be surprised how many times Frenchies are surrendered. The cost and the amount of care are too much for most people. I groom mine every night and yes, especially being in Santa Barbara, the allergies are a huge issue. Not to mention he's allergic to most meds and Cytopoint didn't work for him.
Thanks for keeping Frenchie Life real!
Lovely dog, very nice owner. Thanks.
I love bulldogs, every type. So sweet and goofy. They’re totally worth the high maintenance, in my opinion🐶🐶
I loooovvveee his hound harness! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Me too!!! Took forever to receive it but worth the wait
Your video is the best I have seen. Thanks for not being theatrical and just telling us about life with a French bulldog.
Thank you Mikki, I'm just sharing what I know :)
Thank you for keeping it real about owning this breed. People need to know what they are getting into.
We had the surgery for one of our frenchies and our boston terrier. Surgeon removed extra flesh at back of the throat and trimmed the nares on our frenchie. Helped so much!!
So glad! It helped us too!
At first, I didn’t like dogs with snubbed nose so I had always had other types of dogs i.e. Jack Russell, Lab, Miniature Pinture, Poodle, etc.
However, 7 years ago, I saw a lot of French Bulldogs pictures on IG and the next thing I knew I couldn’t get enough of this funny-looking and cute dog. I eventually got one six years ago.
Honestly, when you have one, you need two, and the next thing you know, you have three. That’s how my life is right now. 😂😂😂
My wife is keeping a very short leash on getting frenchie #2 but man do I want one!
Thank You for your honest truth on the breed.
I love my Wellington so much he’s such a cute pup he’s a blue fawn and looks so glorious
Your dog is so handsome! And thank you for the helpful tips. I have frenchies too
Tortellino says “thank you”!
This video is so informative! I appreciate the emphasis on the health issues and costs that go along with getting a Frenchie to add to our home. Insurance being a must, breeder tips, and your kind demeanor is just as one in the comments explained, " it's like a friend giving you good advice that actually cares" I thank you. I am interested in only two breeds besides my Yorkie, and they both have serious health concerns attached to their breeding. Doberman and French bulldog. I am weighing my options but one of the two are my only desire so I have big decisions to make. Again, thank you for making this video to help others
Thank you it brings me immense joy to get comments like yours of fellow dog lovers who “get it” when it comes to their health.
I now have a Frenchie girl and she's 11wks and we are currently shopping insurance per your advice. When weighing the two breeds that I was interested in, I decided against the Dobie. My home insurance wouldn't accept the breed, our recent lifestyle changes, and our other girl pups factor in the choice. So, she fits in our lifestyle however I didn't take lightly all of the contents of your video. I know I have to have insurance, my breeder had purebred pups and I chose the one that had a tad less flat nose structure and seemed to breath well. Her health checks have been great but I am no fool. However, I am in love. She's perfect for us in every way you mentioned about Frenchies and then some! If rescues would've had a puppy available, I would've chosen one. So our journey has begun. The information you relayed to us is factual and I'll cherish it as I navigate through this wonderful, yet cautious journey. Any ideas on the best affordable insurance in YOUR opinion?
Thanks Kym
We love you tortillino!!
I have a girl Frenchie, Remi. She also a social butterfly and had the pallet surgery. Went from a snoring old man who needed a c-pap machine to regular breathing. I hope it all went well for you!
I’ve had my baby girl for 2 days. I’m head over hills in love. Although I’ve been a dog and cat parent before. I completely agree with what you said about food and other people’s opinions. Each pup is different. I say do your homework, talk to your vet and find what best for YOUR BABY!!!! Thanks for sharing. He’s a doll.
Thank you for this video. It has helped me a ton. I hope your dog is doing good!
Great video, there should be more like these. We have a 2yo girl and I don’t think I’ve ever loved a dog as much as I love this little things. She had nares and soft pallet done at around 18 months of age. It was the best thing we did for her. She’s been able to sleep in bed with me ever since. I’m still very over protective of her though.
We all are!
Thank you!
My frenchie is on zignature ( lamb )food. And he’s done so well with it.
You can see the love ❤️ 😍!!
I grew up with all types of dogs and have experienced many others through family and friends. I love ALL dogs but frenchies are a trip 😂. If you own one it’s different at first but once you both get used to each other it’s a blast having them. My little guy is my best friend
He's so handsome. I have a Merle Frenchie named Piper. She is such a feisty girl.
Great name!
I just got my first dog ever and he’s a Frenchie!!!! I just insured him and the allergies have begun at 3 months 😩
Glad you got him insured already! It will pay dividends locking in a lower rate now.
How do you treat his allergies?
I love how he keeps tilting his head upwards whenever he receives a pet
French bulldogs are the best. Unless you have one you wouldn’t understand. I have a 2 year old Frenchie and we’ve been very lucky as far as no allergies or anything. She’s extremely easy. 🤞 your pup is adorable by the way!
I own 3 and love them all!! Frenchies are the best! I have not had any issues with my doggies I love the snoring sounds they make,, Every time i have someone visit rgey end up buying one from my breeder
Who is your breeder? Do they have a website?
Send me your breeder please
Please share breeder information
So you love the snoring sounds they make? Translation: I like the sounds of something having a hard time breathing...
Check out my latest video on Brachycephalic Syndrome (soft palate & nares surgery): czcams.com/video/jmB7Y_rGVzE/video.html - I inluced before and after videos so you can see the difference!
I got his Nares widen and two months later did his soft pallet dissection by laser and he's doing great. He sleeps a lot better now. He is only one week out of surgery so he can not run so it should be interesting to see when he is heeled.
So true on the snout they should never be that flat shame on your breeder for breeding frenchies this way
I have an am.staff/frenchie/boxer mix: rescue, tummy issues....started her on annamaet, went to nutrisource and a tablespoon of cottage cheese a day. Now she has firm poopies and no gas.
Love your video ,I have a Frenchie she is the best ,loving ,my best friend, one thing I found is they can be greedy little dogs but keeping there weight under control is a must ,it does help with there breathing
Precious, Beautiful babypup ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hope the surgery went well. I have a French Male bulldog, black brindle, who luckily doesn't have allergy or breathing issues. My French bulldog English bulldog mix does have allergy issues and what worked for me is having the vet send bloodwork to a lab in CA and they let you know what he's allergic to food wise as well as environmental allergies. Once I controlled the food, his system was able to handle the environmental allergens.
I loved your video. I found it extremely informative. Thanks for sharing.
So helpful thank you for this video
Great video man!
Really enjoyed your honest video re: Frenchies. We raised pugs for 25 years and got two Frenchies for the first time 6 years ago. OMG! ChNged our lives completely! The amount of care, time, and ENERGY required to care for these babies was so much more than we EVER had with pugs. Maybe we had “low energy” pugs for 25 years, and then got “high energy” Frenchies, don’t know. But they were much harder to train than our pugs (bathroom etiquette and barking, socialization with other dogs, etc). And the allergy thing (at least with one dog) is unreal. We have tried EVERYTHING. We have it barely under control now. So yes, Frenchies are NOT an easy dog, they require a LOT of attention. Having said all of that, we LOVE our babies and enjoy them and their cute personalities everyday-and miss them when they are not with us (traveling). They now have their routines, and “remind” us in a very sweet and gentle (but persistent) way when it’s time for us all to go to bed. And they are right on the mark when it is feeding time. You might say that they have US well trained! Thank you for such a great video. We subscribed.
Who watches your frenchies when you travel? Family friend, pet sitter? We’ve brought him on our two trips so far but want to take a few without him next year.
I agree related to foods...I have 5 pups now including bullies and I also have bred and trained for years...having dealt with several pups with intestinal issues and spent thousands on vets I've had great results from Science diet digestive id... it's from the vet and a little more expensive but works like magic...your baby is precious!
Omg my Frenchie boy yells at me for food at 4 months! He is so different from my sweet little girl. Frenchies are very much their own selves 😂
