History:
The French Bulldog is considered a small-sized mastiff. The French bulldog's origins date back to early 1850. Its beginnings
are found in England with the English bulldog, its closest relative, descended from mastiff type breeds.
It is likely that the French bulldog is the result of various crosses between the toy bulldogsvenidos of Great Britain
and several local dogs.
Her grace and character quickly captivated high society, which greatly boosted its popularity.The crosses were
made by lovers of the breed in the neighborhoods of Paris in 1880. Initially, the French bulldog was a dog of the people,
with the masters to butchers and coachmen, but later learned to conquer the high society and the art world due to its
