Peculiarities of keeping, nutrition, training of the French Bulldog
1. Content French Bulldog
Unpretentious care - this is one of the many reasons because of which many want to have a French bulldog. Due to its compact size, it can be safely kept in the apartment. Too long and active walks he does not need. However, it is worth remembering that the bulldog has no undercoat - in the bitter cold he may need clothes.
At home, these dogs behave calmly. It is important to provide them with a quiet and quiet place so that nobody interferes with sleep. Draft should be minimized.
Bathing a pet is recommended no more than 3-4 times a year. If he is very dirty during the walk - just wash off the dirt with a large amount of water. Wool can be combed several times a week with a special glove, and skin folds can be wiped with a napkin. Ears and eyes should be rinsed regularly. You can brush your teeth and claw as needed.
2. Food French Bulldog
The main thing in the preparation of the diet is to forget about the opportunity to feed the dog from your table. Human and dog food are radically different. The amount of salt and spices that people add to their food will be too harmful for any four breed.
Food should choose the highest quality. It should consist of natural ingredients, be balanced and endowed with sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.
When choosing natural products, give preference to lean meat, cereals (for example, hercules, buckwheat, rice), eggs, oils, and sour milk.
3. Dressura french bulldog
You can start training at the age of 4 months. Preference should be given to the promotional method of learning. Preference should be given to the promotional method of teaching, but patience will have to be reserved. Not even the smartest dog will learn a command from the very first repetition.
Encourage your pet with delicacies or praise, but so that the same goodies do not become boring and do not cease to be a stimulus, try to change them more often. If you need to scold, do it carefully: do not shout and do not use physical punishment.

Добрый вечер, увас ещё есть щенки в продаже?
Esta persona es Una Estafadora!
He enviado el dinero por adelantado y me a echo viajar de Noruega a Kiev para recoger mi perrita y cuando llegué,ella me bloqueó y borró todos los mensajes que a escrito en Viber!
La página web a borrado su perfil pero veo que a abierto otro y yo no voy a parar de escribir reseñas para que nadie haga lo mismo que yo!
En mi caso no a sido sólo la estafa económica,a sido también la estafa emocional que yo fui con toda la ilusión a recoger a mi perrita y de verdad que espero que esta persona lo pague porque no es justo lo que está haciendo!

This woman is a SCAMMER!!!
I make the transference for the shih tzu dog and I travel from Norway to Kiev to pick it up and when I arrive,she didn't answer anymore and she delete all her messages on viber and she block me!
She will send you a passport picture but the transference is going to her,is going to another name!
Please,don't send any money in advance if you don't want to be scammed and lost more money on traveling for nothing!
I will attach the transference I made and I have many screenshots of her selling the same dog to other people and asking for the prepayment without being to see the dog.
If you have any information about her real adress,please let me know!

Attention! Scam!!! They lie about the dog's whereabouts. Within 14 hours the dog was supposed to be in the Dortmund area. In an hour he was in Berlin and immediately after in London. They want to deliver by courier at all costs. So they probably wanted an advance payment and you will never hear from them again. There are pictures of this dog Gia in various ads.
