Well, who can resist a cuddly Frenchie with an extra layer of fluff? They’re like walking teddy bears, perfect for snuggling on the couch.
But remember, looks aren’t everything!
Things to know about furry Frenchies –
They are rare – The long-haired gene is not common, so finding a furry Frenchie can be tricky. And be wary of breeders who charge sky-high prices.
They need more grooming – Unlike their shorthaired cousins, furry Frenchies need regular brushing to prevent mats and tangles. Baths are also important, but not too often!
Health concerns – While they’re adorable, breeding for fluffy coats can sometimes lead to health issues. Always choose a responsible breeder who prioritizes health over appearance.
Tips for furry Frenchie parents –
Brush, brush, brush! A daily brushing session keeps their fur happy and healthy.
Bath time, but not too much – Unlike their shorthaired counterparts, furry Frenchies might need more frequent baths to keep their fur clean and prevent matting.
Monthly baths are good, but avoid over-bathing, which can dry out their skin.
Seasonal Changes – Be mindful of temperature. Their thicker coat can get them hot in summer, so limit exercise and provide shade. In winter, a little sweater might be needed to keep them cozy.
Love them lots! Just like any Frenchie, they thrive on love and attention.
Think twice before getting a furry Frenchie –
They’re undeniably cute, but remember, they’re also more demanding than regular Frenchies.
- Can you afford the extra care? Grooming tools, vet visits, and even food can cost more for a furry Frenchie.
- Are you prepared for potential health issues? Do your research and choose a responsible breeder who prioritizes health.
