Black French Bulldog Origin

Like every other Frenchie, they all originated from England in the 19th century, and Frenchies were much more different than they look today. Over the years, breeders played around with genetics which gave rise to different types of French Bulldogs.

We can’t say exactly when black Frenchies first appeared in the United States. Still, they are really popular amongst dog lovers even though they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and French Bulldog Club of America (FBDCA).

Do Black French Bulldogs have Health Problems?

Yes, they have health problems, and I am talking about all Black French Bulldogs. Out of all types of Frenchies, the black French Bulldog has the worst health problems, and the sole reason is a result of the dominant black gene found in them.

One of the most common health issues they do have later on is deafness and eye problems. Some do later have skin issues also, so if you are considering buying a black Frenchie just because it looks fancy. You should re-evaluate your decision.

Nevertheless, some of their health issues are not associated with their gene but are just common health issues all French Bulldogs are prone to.

Conclusion

The Black French Bulldog is a great choice, and personally, as a dog lover (especially the Frenchie breed), I would pick a black Frenchie, of course. 

For me, this color breed of french bulldogs displays the sophistication absent in other colored Frenchies. Others may disagree with my opinion, but everything depends on personal preference.

Many people might want something else and prefer something cuter. I understand this isn’t a Doberman Pinscher, as many dog lovers with my taste would edge towards this kind of dog breed. 

If you are looking for something small, black french bulldogs are a good pick also, and you should consider them.
