3. French Bulldog

Oh, Frenchies! We all love them, and now, seriously, how can you not love them? Just look at their cute little faces! They are upbeat and amusing, and they want you to be happy. And usually, they can make you feel better if you’ve had a bad day.

They are somehow energetic, but they lack endurance, so you don’t need to worry that your Frenchie will not get enough exercise. They are great dogs for apartments, and we guarantee you that they will love to stay in your lap while you are watching the news.

French Bulldogs have really short fur, which is why grooming shouldn’t be that hard, and they also don’t shed that much. A quick brush now and then should do the job! They are very sociable and will get along with other dogs or animals.

Offer them some toys, and they will be fine when you leave them alone for longer periods of time. Also, you can let them run free if you have a fenced yard, and we are sure they will not need any more exercise.
