The Frenchie is a small breed of dog, originally from France. This is a particular favorite amongst celebrities. Actor Hugh Jackman has two French Bulldogs: Dali and Buddy. The Beckham’s have Scarlett, who makes regular Instagram appearances. The late Carrie Fisher’s Frenchie, Gary, famously attended the London Premiere of The Force Awakens in 2015.

Actress Reese Witherspoon has a French Bulldog named Coco Chanel, inspired by the famous French fashion designer. This is the spotlight dog as it seems quite fitting that a dog of French origin should have such an iconic French name. Coco Chanel is regularly spotted in public with Reese and they are often seen shopping together. The Chanel brand has grown into so much more than fashion, including jewelry, handbags and fragrance, so it’s great that Reese has honored this iconic designer by naming her beloved family pet in dedication to Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel.

French fashion designer, Yves Saint Laurent, was also a fan of the Frenchie and owned a little pooch named Moujik. French Bulldogs are said to be easy going and well-behaved. The breed has also made regular appearances in shows and movies over the years. A French Bulldog named Stella has appeared in the TV Show Modern Family over several years. This role has been played by two different Frenchie’s. Two French Bulldogs, Francesca and Sharky, also appeared on Martha Stewart’s show, keeping this breed in the public eye. A Frenchie named Mr Quiggly was the star of the 2012 Superbowl advert too! This low-maintenance breed will be a most precious and valuable addition to your family.
