How much does a French Bulldog generally cost?
The French Bulldog is a lively, intelligent, muscular dog with heavy bone, a smooth coat, and a compact build, medium or small in size, with an alert, curious and interested expression.

How much does a French Bulldog cost?
French Bulldogs are rarely bred in purebred lines in China, and prices are usually above 6000 yuan; don't even look at ones priced below 3000. The price of a French Bulldog depends on its quality: one at 10000 will certainly look very good, while one at 3000 will certainly be average. For ordinary people buying one as a pet, there is no need to buy a show-quality dog; a few thousand is enough. If you don't care much about purebreeding, you can spend one or two thousand for one to play with. In short, the price of a French Bulldog follows its quality, but you must also know how to judge it. Generally it ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands; different quality means different prices.
How to keep a French Bulldog
1. Temperature: French Bulldogs are very afraid of heat, and in severe cases may even have difficulty breathing. Therefore, when the summer weather is hot, care should be taken to prevent heatstroke.
2. Illness: Apart from the general symptom of poor breathing caused by the flat face and tight jaw during the breed's improvement process, French Bulldogs hardly ever get sick, but for this reason they are relatively prone to heatstroke. However, it is worth noting that poisoning and car accidents are the two biggest killers in accidental deaths.
3. Exercise: French Bulldogs do not need a lot of exercise, but to avoid obesity, a moderate amount of exercise is necessary. Be careful not to let it run strenuously; it is best to take it out for a walk or about half an hour of exercise in the cooler periods of early morning or evening each day (to avoid putting too much strain on the heart).
4. Cleaning: Although the French Bulldog is a dog with a smooth coat, its hair needs to be brushed every day with a dedicated tool, and the movements during brushing should be gentle and careful, not rough and forceful. Generally, a house dog is washed once a month; in the hot and humid south, it can be washed once every 1 to 2 weeks.
