I volunteer with the French Bulldog Rescue Network transporting Frenchies from one city to another. It’s usually done relay-style from volunteer to volunteer.

Yesterday, Sunday, I picked up Codi in north Fort Worth and we headed south on U.S. 287. It was a beautiful, sunny drive through the Texas countryside.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at my transfer destination. The next volunteer was waiting. We exchanged greetings and Codi’s crate, toys, food, and blankets.

And then he was off to a new life.

I’ve done this a dozen or more times and, were I able, would have taken each one home with me.

According to the American Kennel Club – @akcdoglovers – the French Bulldog is the 2nd most popular breed in the U.S.

What’s not to love about a Frenchie? They are perfect companion animals. They’re good natured, playful, curious, watchful… The list goes on and on.

For the longest time they were the dog world’s best-kept secret. Not anymore. Frenchies are everywhere. And with that popularity comes some negatives.

Being short-nosed dogs, Frenchies can have breathing issues, they are susceptible allergies, and they are more couch potatoes than play-outside-all-day dogs. Knowing this up-front makes it a lot more likely for a relationship with a Frenchie to be a good one.

And, after learning all this, if you still think that a French Bulldog is for you, consider adopting. The French Bulldog Rescue Network has many Frenchies that need homes right now. Be prepared to fill out some forms, answer some detailed questions, and generally prove that you know what you’re getting into.

Because life is better with a (adopted) French Bulldog.
