Purebred French Bulldogs: How to Identify Them – Look at These 5 Places and See if They're 'Thread Dogs'
To determine whether a French Bulldog is purebred, pet owners can look at 5 places, and the appearance of a 'thread dog' won't look like it at all!
1Head: Square-shaped
Purebred French Bulldogs have relatively large heads and appear somewhat like squares. The area between the ears and the top of the skull is flat, and there is a depression between the eyes.
If the muzzle is very prominent or the skull is high, then it is likely a ‘thread dog’. Pet owners must pay attention when buying dogs.
2Ears: Bat-shaped
Purebred French Bulldogs must have bat-shaped ears. What are bat-shaped ears? They are generally of medium size, wide at the base and rounded at the tip, with both ears located at a higher position on the head, with a large distance between the ears, and a standing state around three months old.
If your French Bulldog doesn't have bat-shaped ears, it could be a ‘thread dog’. However, if it hasn't yet stood up, it could be due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to give French Bulldogs calcium tablets, preferably those containing vitamin D, which is easier to digest and absorb!
3Body: Solid and stout
When selecting French Bulldogs, you must first choose those with solid and stout bodies, muscular and strong bones. Dogs should stand with a confident posture, and their steps should be relaxed and flexible.
If the body is thin and weak, with a low spirit, and loves to lie down and sleep, don't choose it. It is a problematic dog, even if it is not sick.
4Coat: Short, fine and smooth
Purebred French Bulldogs' coats are inevitably short, fine and smooth, which feels very comfortable to the touch. If the coat is a little long or feels prickly, it could be a ‘thread dog’.
It is recommended to pay attention to diet, do not feed too oily or salty food, otherwise it will only exacerbate the shedding of French Bulldogs. To relieve shedding, feed low-salt dog food and proper care.
5Color: Tiger color, light yellow or brown with white-based patterns
Purebred French Bulldogs' colors are inevitably reddish-brown tiger color, light yellow or brown, or with white-based patterns. Therefore, it is also important to look at the color when selecting French Bulldogs.
