Is your Frenchie ignoring you again? That’s part of the charm. Learn how to handle their unique behavior while keeping your bond strong.

French Bulldogs are small dogs with big personalities. If you share your home with one, you’ve probably experienced the full range of their quirks… From snorting like a tiny piglet to giving you a side-eye worthy of an Oscar.


Let’s dive a little deeper into the world of French Bulldog quirks—the snorts, the side-eye, and of course… The stubborn “I’ll come when I feel like it” walk.

Why Do They Snort and Snore So Much?

It’s not just for laughs—those adorable noises are thanks to their brachycephalic (short-nosed) anatomy. Their compact airways mean breathing can be a little noisy, especially when they’re excited, sleeping, or, let’s be honest, just existing. While snorts are cute, it’s important to watch for signs of breathing distress, especially in hot weather.

Pro tip: Keep them cool, avoid excessive exercise in the heat, and make sure they have a comfy sleeping spot where they can breathe easily.

The Sass Factor

Frenchies are famously stubborn. Ask them to sit, and they might… eventually… if it’s in their best interest. This sass isn’t disobedience—it’s independence. They’re smart enough to understand you, but they also know how to test your patience in hilarious ways.

How to handle it: Use positive reinforcement, keep training sessions short and fun, and remember that a Frenchie’s favorite currency is usually food.

Affection with a Side of Comedy

French Bulldogs love their humans deeply. They’ll follow you from room to room, nap beside you, and gaze at you with those soulful eyes. But they also have a knack for turning everyday life into a comedy show—whether it’s sliding off the couch in slow motion or zooming around the house for no reason.

Bonding tip: Incorporate playtime and snuggle sessions into your daily routine. Frenchies thrive when they feel included in family activities.
