French Bulldog
French Bulldog, breed of dog developed in France, probably from a small type of English bulldog (see Bulldog) that was then crossed with other breeds. The French bulldog is small, standing only about 30 cm (about 12 in) at the shoulder, but it is relatively heavy, weighing up to about 13 kg (about 28 lb). It has high, batlike ears and a naturally short tail. The skull is flat between the ears and curves directly above the eyes. The smooth coat is usually brindle, brindle and white, fawn, or white in color. The heavy-jawed face is blunt and wrinkled, creating a comical more than a pugnacious appearance. The breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1947.
