This is especially true when they are young, but persists into adulthood. The French Bulldog is sometimes called a "Frog dog" or a "Clown dog." "Frog dog" is in reference to their wide round face and the way they sit with their hind legs spread out.

French Bulldogs are often kept as companions. They rarely bark. The breed is patient and affectionate with its owners and can live with other breeds.
