French Bulldog
Small–Medium · 16–28 lbs
Ironically, the French Bulldog was created in England in the 1800s by Nottingham lace workers who bred miniature English Bulldogs as companion dogs. When the lace industry moved to France, workers brought their small dogs along — the French further developed the breed and gave it the distinctive upright bat ears that Americans specifically requested, differentiating it from the rose-eared type then popular in France.
The French Bulldog is arguably the perfect city dog — low-energy (45/100), highly friendly (90/100), quiet (30/100 barking), and comfortable in apartments with just 20 minutes of daily exercise. The serious downsides: significant breathing issues that worsen in heat and humidity, high vet bills, and a lifespan of only 10–12 years.
