Question of
French Bulldogs originated in
- France
- England
- Belgium
- Wales
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> The French Bulldog actually oroginated in England, not France. In the 1800s, lace-makers in Nottingham bred toy-sized versions of the English Bulldog as companions. When the Industrial Revolution hurt their trade, many of these workers moved to northern France and brought their little bulldogs with them. There, the dogs were crossed with local ratters and terriers, which helped create their famous upright "bat ears" and gave them the name Bouledogue FranÃ§ais. </div>
Question of
French bulldogs are great swimmers.
- TRUE
- FALSE
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> French Bulldogs are essentially "bricks with legs"—their dense, heavy build gives them negative buoyancy, so they sink rather than float. On top of that, their flat, short-snouted faces make swimming exhausting because they have to tilt their heads at an awkward angle just to breathe. Many Frenchies actually love water and will happily splash in shallow puddles or at the beach, but once the water gets deep enough to require treading, panic can set in. They should never be left unsupervised near pools, lakes, or oceans, and a well-fitted doggy life jacket can literally save their life. </div>
Question of
French bulldogs can have 2 types of ears-bat ears or rose-shaped ears.
- TRUE
- FALSE
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> French Bulldogs have two main ear types: bat ears (large, upright, broad at the base, rounded at the top) and rose ears (folded, curling back and inward like an English Bulldog's). Early Frenchies brought to France commonly had rose ears, but in the late 1800s a "battle of ears" broke out—European breeders preferred rose ears while American fanciers wanted upright bat ears. When the French Bulldog Club of America formed in 1897, it made bat ears the only acceptable standard, making rose ears rare today. The gene for rose ears can still occasionally pop up, but bat ears remain the definitive look for the breed. </div>
Question of
Approximately what percentage of French Bulldogs are born via C-section?
- 80%
- 70%
- 63%
- 55%
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> French Bulldog puppies are pricey because breeding them is genuinely difficult and expensive. Their slender hips often make natural mating impossible, so most breedings use artificial insemination. Then, because puppies have large, broad heads and mothers have narrow birth canals, over 80% of Frenchie births are delivered by C-section. Add in small litter sizes, and the vet bills stack up fast—which is why responsible breeders invest so much and why these puppies are considered both priceless and pricey. </div>
Question of
One of the following colors/patters MEETS breed standard for French Bulldogs. Which one is it?
- Merle
- Solid White
- Liver
- Solid Black
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> Colors marketed as "rare" or "exotic"—like solid black, black and tan, blue, liver, or merle—are actually disqualifications in the show ring. While a blue Frenchie might look trendy, these colors can be linked to genetic health issues, which is why ethical breeders stick to the standard palette. </div>
Question of
According to the book, “The Intelligence of Dogs”, by Stanley Coren, where does the French Bulldog rank in working/obedience intelligence?
- 58
- 21
- 33
- 84
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> In the landmark book entitled, "The Intelligence of Dogs", professor Stanley Coren researched and documented the intelligence of over 130 different dog breeds. In his book, the French Bulldog ranks 58th out of 130 breeds in working/obedience intelligence. Essentially, this means they will learn new commands between 40-80 repetitions. This puts them in the "fair" intelligence category. In contrast, the least intelligent breeds will require 80-100 repetitions and the most intelligent less than 5 to learn and follow the same commands! </div>
Question of
French Bulldogs tend not to be big barkers but do have their own “language” of strange whining, snorting, wimpering sounds.
- TRUE
- FALSE
Question of
Frenchies tend to have a lot of gas.
- TRUE
- FALSE
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> How Fast Can a Frenchie Clear a Room? Sounds like a funny joke but when your Frenchie is dropping unending stench bombs-you will understand the realty of Frenchie farts! Frenchie's are also known for their unique grunts, snorts and snoring! </div>
Question of
In genetic research on modern dog breed development, the French Bulldog has shown the most common DNA with an ancestor of which of the following breeds?
- Staffordshire Bull Terrier
- Pug
- Dogue de Bourdeaux
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> In landmark research on modern dog breed development, the French Bulldog has been shown to share the most DNA with an ancestor of the following breeds: Bulldog Boston Terrier Staffordshire Bull Terrier </div>
Question of
Most French Bulldogs are born with soft and floppy ears.
- TRUE
- FALSE
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> All French Bulldogs are born with soft, floppy ears. Their ear cartilage is undeveloped at birth, and between 5 and 15 weeks the ears gradually lift into the breed's signature erect, bat-like shape. During teething (around 4 to 6 months), the body uses extra calcium for adult teeth, which can cause the ears to temporarily droop or curl back down. Most ears stay upright permanently by 7 to 8 months, though the full transition can take up to a year and a half for some dogs. A small number keep floppy or semi-erect ears permanently due to genetics. </div>
Question of
As timed by the AKC in Fast Cat running trials, what is the average running speed of French Bulldogs?
- 13.82 mph
- 18 mph
- 16.1 mph
- 20.26 mph
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> The AKC Conducts Dog Racing Trials each December in Orlando, FL. called the Fast CAT Invitational. This is a 100 yard race where dogs run individually chasing a lure. The average speed for French Bulldogs was about 18 mph. The fastest recorded time was by a Frenchie named Winston Bolt BCAT at 25.12 mph! </div>
Question of
According to the C-BARQ study, where does the French Bulldog rank among 124 breeds for hostility toward familiar dogs in the same household?
- 14
- 4
- 28
- 51
<div class="snax-quiz-answer-explanation"> The C-BARQ study at the University of Pennsylvania ranks the French Bulldog 4th out of 124 breeds for hostility toward familiar dogs in the same household—very high. That means a Frenchie is likely to threaten or maintain a competitive "rivalry" with other dogs in the home. Training and supervision can help manage this trait. </div>
