French Bulloxer History
The French Bulloxer is a cross between the Bulldog and the French Bulldog. The Bulloxer is a fairly new hybrid, or designer, breed of dog that was created in the 1990s. The Bulloxer was bred by crossing the bulldog and the French bulldog. The origin of the name “Bulloxer” is unknown. The owners of the kennel where the first bulloxers were produced were attempting to create a toy-sized version of the English Bulldog. The “Bull” in “Bulldog” may have referred to their larger-than-normal size, or possibly to the make of the cages they were kept in. The designers of the Bullboxer wanted a dog that would be small enough to be an indoor pet, but that would still possess the temperament and look of the bulldog. The breeders were successful, and the Bullboxer emerged as a new hybrid. The offspring of the breeding were smaller versions of the bulldog, and they decided to call the new breed the “French Bullboxer”.

French Bulloxer Temperament and Behaviour
The French Bulloxer is an energetic, stubborn, but fun-loving and devoted companion. They are highly energetic and athletic, and will need daily exercise. They’re smart, though, and are known to do well in obedience and agility training. They are protective of their families and can be quite territorial. They are often wary of strangers, but can be socialized at a young age to overcome this trait.
French Bulloxer Activity Requirements
French Bulloxers are small, sturdy, and compact. They were originally bred to be guard dogs and are popular today as companions. While they are active, they are not considered to be high energy. While they don’t require a lot of physical exercise, they do require a lot of attention. They form strong bonds with their owners and love to spend time with their families. If you are looking for a dog who will be content to play alone while you work, a French Bulloxer is not a good choice. They are happiest when they are with their family.
