The French Bulldog can live on average for around 10 years but some have lived to 16.
Back only a few years ago, in the 1960s in fact, there were only 106 French Bulldog registrations and there was a serious concern that if the trend continued they would cease to exist in only a couple of generations.
Fortunately, in the 1980s a resurgence of the love for the breed grew dramatically, and now the numbers being registered a much more healthy figure, almost a hundred times that number from the 1960s in fact.
