Ratings out of 5⭐
Adaptability ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Apartment Friendly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Frenchies are good for apartment life. They can be fairly active indoors and will do okay without a yard. They do not do well in temperature extremes.
Barking Tendencies ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cat Friendly ⭐⭐
Child Friendly ⭐⭐
Not Good with Kids: In isolation, this dog breed might not be the best option for kids. However, to mitigate the risks, have the puppy grow up with kids and provide it with plenty of pleasant and relaxed experiences with them. This breed is also very friendly toward other pets and shy toward strangers.
