All New FAQ section!

[bullmama]

There are many frequently asked questions here on the forums, so this new section will be our new source of information for new Frenchie owners and experienced owners to share their knowledge and experiences.

The great thing about this section is it is not going to be one member being the holy know-it-all, we can all give our input on what we information we can share and provide to help others (and maybe learn a thing or two!)

If you have a question you think would make a great FAQ, please post it. Make sure the question has not already been posted in the FAQ section (other forums ok). Remember to start your thread with FAQ: in the title so it is easily distinguishable from other forum threads.

I love the FAQ section

Maybe something about puppy socialization ? As in how did you socialize your puppy/ where did you go for that? How soon did you start?
Just an idea. Thinking about what first time owners would wanna ask...

Hi I have a 2.3 year old French bulldog called Frenchie she was due on 30th of August or yesterday or Thursday, I had her scanned at 31days the lady said she was full and could see 8-11 pups now it's labour time she's panting frantically since 3pm it's now 1:38am in the UK.

I can feel the pups moving if I touch her sides her waters still haven't broken and no contractions I'm
Knackered but I can't leave her as she may need help.

Does anyone know why she hast broken waters yet?

[MENTION=2092]Frenchie12[/MENTION], I posted in your other thread you asked. Get her to the vet ASAP for a C-section Frenchies should never have their pups naturally, that's a good way to loose mom and pups. It is very hard on the mama. If she has had her pups by now and everything went well, count your blessings, you got very lucky.

I would LOVE some advice on why my puppy keeps on peeing and pooping when we leave her in the crate during the day. We also tried setting her up with an x-pen that has a pee pad. She climbs out of it.... She doesn't pee in the crate at night but still gets up once in the middle of the night to pee.
And yes, I take her out to pee and poop before I crate her. She's almost 4 months old now.

She was crawling out of the X-pen?!

How long are you gone during the day?

 

[gwensmom]

Less than 2 hours. I've been home with her every day trying to potty train her. My son said he watched her climb up the sides and over within 10 minutes of me leaving the house.

As a guideline... they can hold for 1 hour than they are months old, so with you leaving for 2 hours she should be fine... but the climbing out of the pen... WOW! That is a first I heard of that.... maybe, just leave her in her crate if she is good at night? Try during the day and see how she does... just remember 4-5 hours is her potty limit

 

[Frenchie Grrrl]

Are you saying that she's having accidents in the crate during the day? If so, you need to make she she doesn't have too much extra room. She should only be able to turn around and lay down. If she has more than that, make her area smaller. If it's small already, maybe take out any bedding for a few days and see if that helps. Some people also will feed the puppy in the crate to drive home the message that it's their den.

 

[gwensmom]

I will try taking the bedding out. Even the dog trainer can’t figure it out. I think it’s anxiety because she LOVES being around us ALL the time. The crate we’re told is the right size. (24”) I’m going to see if leaving her everyday helps so she gets used to it. Last night I left her fior an hour and she pooped in the crate even after she went right before I left. It doesn’t seem to be spiteful and she’s not skittish about anything....I guess perseverance is the key.

Hello, new to the group. I have a question about eyes. My baby girl is only 10 weeks, so I know the skull still needs to grow so her eyes will "fit" better.. but I've never had a frenchie with such.. off straight? Eyes. Any opinions, advice, or have dealt with something similar and can let me know what the outcome was as their pup grew up. Thanks everyone!!

I think it is referred to as wall-eyed, but I’m not sure if that is the issue here, but the one eye does seem off

I have a subject..I hope I've posted it in the right place..I have a Frenchy called Teddy,he's six months old.We live in Cornwall,in the United Kingdom..I read that Frenchies reach 28 pounds weight,but Teddy is already 28 pounds..
(I did see one called Hemingway on YouTube who is 72.6 pounds & one that weighed 43 pounds).
I am wondering what he will end up weighing-it seems the breeder is into mating large ones together to reduce breathing problems she said..
I kinda wanted a smaller one but I loved Teddy from the day I first got him..
So does anyone have any idea what he will weigh as an adult?

He should level out at around 10 months... that is around when the stop growing, I think.
