Activities For Miniature French Bull Terriers

The Miniature French Bull Terrier loves to play outside, but you must plan accordingly. Some Mini French Bulls, particularly those who have a light coat, will need sunscreen to ensure that they do not experience a sunburn (a thin coat might be a trait inherited from the Bull Terrier parent). Also, the Mini French Bull can be very strong, so tug-of-war is not a game that you want to engage in without some training beforehand. However, you can use a flirt pole to engage the pup in a fun game that helps them to burn off some energy. They also love water games, and, if you have older children available to play, they will enjoy simply roughhousing with them.

With a hybrid dog, no pet parent can guarantee the personality traits the offspring will inherit. However, we can make an educated guess on the behavior of a designer dog based on the characteristics their parent breeds possess. For instance, terriers are notorious for their headstrong nature. It is for this reason that this writer recommends some obedience training. (Note, Bulldogs are very sweet, but also tend to be independent like the terrier.) Start slowly with common commands such as sit, come, and stay at about twelve to sixteen weeks of age. You may want to add more complex commands, such as heeling, as the dog becomes more mature.

Both parent breeds of the Miniature French Bulldog Terrier absolutely love swimming. They love to swim in a backyard pool or at the beach (however, be cautious - this small dog must be supervised at the beach due to the strong tide). Begin teaching your dog to swim in your bathtub at home, then move to the pool (you'll need to jump in as well). Be sure to confirm that your local beach (or, if you're traveling, the prospective destination location) allows for dogs. Furthermore, even the most experienced swimmer needs to wear a swim vest. No access to a beach and no travel plans? Then consider dock diving.
