I am a dog person and have two small dachshunds/always have had a family dog too but my SO’s roommates have two Frenchies and I rarely ever will say this - but I hate them. Unfortunately, this is mainly because of the owners. They were into the ‘let’s get a cute puppy’ fad and are never home, barely take care of them, and the dogs don’t have great training which definitely has led to them not being good dogs. Luckily they are house trained and crate trained (mainly because they spend a majority of the day in there half the time.) The male isn’t neutered because they wanted to potentially make money off of breeding him (:mad:) but they are inexperienced with that and it has fortunately yet to go through. I do feel bad and my SO tries to help out as much as he can but he isn’t a fan of them either and at the end of the day they aren’t his responsibility. They have a third dog as well but she’s at least quieter but has had a lot of health issues.
From what I’ve seen/hear, they typically have breathing issues so a good vet is key. Definitely spay/neuter! Also, I definitely believe in a quality dog food/diet and proper training.
