With a need for 30 to 60 minutes of daily activity, the breed suits a moderately active, urban living owner, whether single or family-oriented (with children), who enjoys moderate outdoor activities. French Bulldogs have a life expectancy of 10 to 12 years and are prone to Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome, Canine Obesity, and Skin Fold Dermatitis.
