The French Bulldog, nicknamed the Frenchie, is a small breed of Bulldog originally developed in the 1800s as a companion dog despite that their progenitors were developed to help with bull-baiting and pit fighting.  They were developed in Normandy, France as a companion and today enjoy the same role. This pooch is very easy to keep and does not require much exercise.  However, this breed, being developed for companionship, requires a lot of human interaction.
