FLUFFY FRENCH BULLDOG

Origin: France

Coat Type: Medium-length (Long Hair Gene)

Function: Companion Dog

Registry Status: Accepted for registration

Brief Overview

The Fluffy French Bulldog is a naturally occurring long-haired variation of the standard French Bulldog. The longer coat is caused by a recessive LH (long-hair) gene present within the breed’s genetic pool. To express this coat type, a dog must inherit the gene from both parents, making Fluffy French Bulldogs relatively rare.

Although often described as “long-haired,” the coat is more accurately classified as medium-length. The hair is typically longer and softer around the ears, neck, chest, and shoulders, while remaining practical and not excessive.
