What breed is this puppy?

[553]

Alright, so, this dog is not mine. It's a korean celebrity's I follow on Instagram. But the moment I saw this pup, I totally fell in love. The thing is, he seems like a mixture rather than a purebreed, and I haven't for the life of me been able to figure out what mix it is.

That looks to me like a French Bulldog but I could be wrong...

It reminds me of a Boston Terrier, but the coloring is too light. We can't tell the size of the dog from those photos.

😎 Hi from France ♫

Pretty difficult to say, as it is so young. I would say it could be a french bulldog or a Boston terrier.. These two breeds look so the same !

It is a French Bull Dog. Frenchies come in a variety of colors. The dead give away that it is not a Boston Terrier is the Fawn color. Boston's only come in black and white or bridle and white.

Be aware though, should you decide to get one. The Frenchie is a brachycephallic breed, meaning short nose, and they have breathing problems because of it. They do not do well in excessively hot climates, and are nit a dog to take on overly long walks/runs. They overheat quickly due to having short nasal passages, and the air they take in has no time to cool before getting into the lungs and oxygenation their body.

They are also prone to luxating patrols, like most small breeds, a condition where the knee cap slips in and out of place to the left or right. They are also prone to IVDD, or intervertebral disc disease. Going to a reputable breeder who has had their stud, birch, an puppies screened and cleared for these problems in the way to go. Unfortunately, the brachycephallic conditions, reproductive problems when it comes to whelping, and proptosis, the globe of the eye coming out of the socket, are the norm, not the exception. The proptosis can be avoided by not playing roughly, or letting your dog get hit in the back of the head by something or someone. Because they are a bug-eyed breed, any accident of that kind can force the globe of the eye out.

It is a cute puppy, and the breed is loyal, loving, and good for apartments. But do your research on the breed you want, get one that fits your lifestyle, and research the local breeders.

As always, a share is a good place to find a dog. Thousands of purebred dogs end up in them each day. You can also check your local breed specific rescue groups.

Looks more like a Boston Terrier pup. Though rare, they do come in fawn:

Frenchies have a different head and squattier bodies:

French Bulldog or French Bulldog mix. Hard to tell which pictures where you only show its head.
