Tiny French Bulldog Preference?
I have a somewhat random question for you regarding French Bulldogs and almost a seemingly shallow question BUT I still need to ask. See, I am seriously contemplating owning a French Bulldog (YAY) but I desire it to be a pretty small one. It seems as if some of them, though still small can still get pretty large in comparison to other Frenchies. So, when it finally comes time for me to buy one as a little pup is there a way to tell whether or not he will be a stubby little guy?
Regardless, I would obviously adore the dog either way but would prefer a stubby one.
I know that’s random and poor choice of words but hopefully you understand. J

If you wait til the pup is a bit older then you will have a better idea of size.
It is hard to know for sure. I had a pup in a litter that was TINY as a new born, and he grew to be 23-24 pounds. His sisters who were much bigger at birth are 18-19 pounds.
Some people keep their pups a bit longer trying to decide exactly which one to keep, or the one they kept developed some minor flaw as it grew and becomes available at a bit older pup.
Some you can tell, but if it is important you can ask if there is an older pup.
Good luck

Editor note: If size is really an issue, and you’re willing to consider an older dog, why not look into rescue? No guess work at all when you adopt an adult! Try The French Bulldog Village, French Bulldog Rescue Network or French Bulldog Connection Rescue.
