Frengles are loyal dogs that are devoted to their families. One of the facts about French Bulldogs is that they are quintessential companions, and this is also true for Frengles. These dogs are affectionate and love nothing more than receiving attention and affection from their favorite humans.

They get along well with children and other dogs, but their high prey drive can mean extra socialization when it comes to other small pets in the household. This is a fact about Beagles that is also often true for Frengles. Although these dogs are generally open and friendly with strangers, they will bark to alert you. This can become a nuisance behavior later if you do not work on training your dog to stop barking early on.

A Frengle is a highly adaptable dog. As long as they get enough daily exercise and attention, they will do well in apartments as well as larger homes. A home with a fenced yard will definitely be a bonus for them, as they will love running around in it.

Also, their high prey drive means only letting them off-leash in secure areas. Although they can learn recall commands, they may ignore them in favor of chasing something or following a scent trail that is more interesting.

They do well in most climates. As with any dog, they are sensitive to the heat. If they inherit more of a snub-nosed bulldog face, they will be even more sensitive to heat, and you will need to be careful and monitor them when the weather is warmer. You will need to take precautions to reduce the risk of overheating. This is an important thing to know about flat-faced dogs before bringing one home.

If they have the longer Beagle face and muzzle, you will still need to be careful in the heat, but the risk of overheating won’t be as high as with brachycephalic dogs. Frengles also have a short coat, so if you live in an area with cold winters, they will need some winter dog products to stay warm while out on walks. Frengles also do not like to be left alone for long periods of time.

Potential health concerns to be aware of in the Frengle can include invertebral disc disease, epilepsy, luxating patella, hip dysplasia, and hypothyroidism. If they take more after their Frenchie parent, they will be a brachycephalic dog that can be prone to breathing problems. They are also prone to developing allergies.

Good breeding practices and the health of the parents make a big difference in the health of Frengle puppies. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies, so make sure you ask the breeder about the health and genetic history of the parents and about any health tests or clearances that have been done.

Although a Frengle is intelligent, picks up on things quickly, and does want to please their owner, they can also be a bit stubborn. They like to do things on their own terms, which may not always be what you are trying to get them to do.

Plenty of patience and consistent training based on positive rewards and praise will go a long way with this dog. But the stubborn streak can sometimes be a challenge for first-time dog owners. There are several benefits of puppy training classes, and they can help with this, too.

A Frengle will have a short coat that sheds moderately year-round. Brushing a few times a week is usually sufficient, but daily brushing is ideal, and your Frengle will probably love it, too. Bathing is on an as-needed basis. In addition to coat care, you will also need to take care of your Frengle’s nails, ears, and teeth.

Nail trims once or twice monthly keep nails from growing too long. Weekly ear checks with careful cleanings when needed can help prevent ear infections. Daily tooth brushing or daily use of an enzyme toothpaste, in addition to cleanings at the vet when needed, covers basic dental care. If your Frengle has some facial wrinkles, you will also need to check, clean, and wipe them regularly.

Frengles may not be high-energy dogs, but they are energetic when they play and will require a moderate amount of daily exercise. Daily walks, playtime, and some time to run are usually enough for this dog, but they will probably be up for more if you are.

Just make sure to keep activities low-impact until puppies finish growing to avoid damage to developing bones and joints. Also, keep an eye on your Frengle to make sure they are not overheating or overexerting themselves too much trying to keep up with you.

A fully-grown Frengle usually stands 8-15 inches tall and weighs 13-30 pounds. Fully-grown females tend to be 8-12 inches tall and weigh 13-16 pounds, while fully-grown males tend to be 8-15 inches tall and weigh 15-30.

Frengles generally live for 10-15 years on average.

This dog breed is known as a Frengle and is also sometimes called a Frengle Hound or a French Bulldog Beagle.
