Frenchton

Do Frenchtons bark a lot? No, Frenchtons tend to inherit the characteristics of French Bulldogs and Boston Terriers (and neither tends to bark excessively). While any dog can bark, Frenchtons generally don't bark a lot.

What's the difference between a Frenchton and a Frenchie? A Frenchton is a cross between a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier. Each dog is uinque and may have more or less of the French Bulldog traits.

The Frenchton is a cross between a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier that typically weighs between 15 – 25 pounds and has a life expectancy of 12 – 15 years.  Depending upon the parentage of a Frenchton, they can be plagued by a variety of health problems.  With proper care and yearly vet exams, the majority of Frenchtons will live long and healthy lives. Monitor your dog for any physical or behavioral changes, and contact your veterinarian with any concerns.
