Peach 🍑

This adorable little lady is Peach....she's our 19 month old Red Fawn Frenchie, and an absolute stunner! Peach is in care with 2 other foster dogs who she gets along well with, most of the time!. With a quieter personality than that of her fellow fosters, we think she would be best suited in a home with no other dogs, and the centre of your world. She is extremely snuggly with her humans and has a calm personality.

Peach is currently in care with a young child and is coping well with this. She would be fine with children over the age of 5 years, as long as they were respectful of animals. She is a very inquisitive little girl who can often get herself into mischief if given the chance.....Peach is currently learning to walk on leash and will sit on command. She enjoys the company of other dogs, but does not cope well with them being in her face.

Despite their glum expression, the French Bulldog is comical and entertaining. They are quite stubborn and can be challenging to train, yet also surprisingly sensitive, remembers what they learnt, and responds well to early, patient, persistent training that utilizes food motivation.

Snorting, snuffling, and flatulence go with the territory of short-faced breeds. We recommend doing your research on the breed before choosing to own one, as they do come with a range of health issues and require certain needs.

Due to their 'screw' tails, they are susceptible to a condition known as 'hemivertebra of the spine'. When hemivertebra is present in your dog’s tail, it typically is not an issue. When it is in their spine, it can lead to serious problems. The deformity of the vertebrae will lead to a twisting of the spine which can compress your dog’s spinal cord. Hemivertebra can be minor, where only one or two vertebrae have the deformity and the dog does not experience any clinical signs. In some cases, the dog will experience minor symptoms; in other cases, the condition will significantly impact the dog’s ability to function.

Peach has been tested for this condition and although she has 2 vertebrae affected, the chances of it becoming an issue is very minor, as long as you take into consideration that the French Bulldog is by no means an athlete or flyball champion! Any activities that involve twisting of the spine are not recommended.

So if you've done your research and decided that this breed is for you, please send us an enquiry. Peach has had all her vet work completed this week and now ready to head off to her forever home. She is located in Lake Haven on the Central Coast NSW.
