Grooming: There is little grooming needed for French Bulldog. Occasional brushing is adequate and ear passages need to be kept clean. The facial creases should be treated with a special lotion occasionally.

Exercise: This breed does not require much exercise and so long as they receive adequate attention, no long walks are necessary. In summer or hot weather it is best to avoid exercise due to their short nose.

Feeding: These dogs enjoy their food and their diet needs to be controlled.

History: This breed was once known as Boule-Douge Francais. It is presumed that French Bulldog evolved from a miniature British Bulldog - a breed that never gained popularity. These miniatures migrated to France and some were crossed with a local terrier strain. This cross-breeding was aimed to retain pugnaciousness and add terrier abilities for good ratting. The outcome produced a breed that had both erect bat ears and Bulldog's rose shaped ears. Over time as breed became established, only dogs with bat ears were recognised.

Additional Comments:

French Bulldogs enjoy being part of family and going everywhere with them. They should not be kept in a kennel.

Grooming: These dogs need occasional trimming to keep their coat looking tidy. It is important that hair between pads of feet and under ears is clipped (helps ventilate ears).

Exercise: English Setters need a lot of exercise, such as running alongside a cycle or going for long walks. They tend to wander if given chance, so ensure that backyard is securely fenced off.

History: It is believed that English Setter originated from a number of Spaniel and Pointer crosses. Especially from English Springer Spaniel, water spaniel and Spanish Pointer. For over 400 years this breed has been used as a bird dog in Britain. The conformity of English Setters wasn't achieved until mid 1800s. Edward Laverack was first breeder who developed pure lines for both beauty and conformation. A second breeder called Llewellyn was interested in breeding for working qualities. So he crossed some of Laverack's setters with his own which produced a breed with both hunting abilities and beauty.

Additional Comments:

English Setters tend to become overweight if they don't receive adequate exercise. This breed can become boisterous if they are not given enough space or attention.
