Surprisingly, this is not the first time the French bulldog has been SO in! In 1906, the French bulldog was the 5th most popular dog in America and that was before they were even “officially” a worldwide breed. Although we didn’t hear much from them in the 20th century they are making their comeback now! In fact, according to the American Kennel Club, the French bulldog has made the largest leap on the popularity charts in the last decade zooming from 71st to 21st place. And it doesn’t look like they are stopping there.
With historical owners like the Rockefellers, J.P. Morgans and famous Frenchies including Francesca and Sharkey (Martha Stewart), Scarlet (David and Victoria Beckham), JJ (Hugh Jackman) and even Modern Family’s adorable TV personality Stella (Jay and Gloria) it is no wonder this dog is breaking records and setting trends!
It’s not hard to fall for Frenchies, even the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams store here in New York has a Frenchie as their store mascot, so here are some products that will bring canine couture into la maison.
