Are you considering adding a furry friend to your family? French Bulldogs, or Frenchies as they are lovingly called, are popular choices for many dog lovers. When it comes to adopting a Frenchie, you might find yourself faced with a choice between a young puppy and a teenager. While puppies are undeniably adorable, there are some unique benefits to adopting a teenager Frenchie instead. In this article, we’ll explore five reasons why adopting a teenager Frenchie could be the perfect choice for you.

1. A Teenager Frenchie has Better Bladder Control

One of the biggest advantages of adopting a teenager Frenchie is their better bladder control compared to younger puppies. Puppies require extensive house training to learn when and where to go potty, which can be a time-consuming and sometimes frustrating process. Teenager Frenchies, on the other hand, have typically developed better bladder control. While they may still need regular bathroom breaks, they are less likely to have accidents indoors. This means less stress for you and a smoother transition when bringing your new Frenchie home. Enjoying quality time with your furry companion without worrying about constant potty training can make the bonding experience even more enjoyable.

2. Established Personality in Teenager Frenchies

While puppies are adorable balls of fluff, their personalities are still developing. It can be hard to predict what kind of adult dog a puppy will grow into. In contrast, a teenager Frenchie already has a more established personality. This means you can get a better sense of their energy levels, temperament, and quirks before bringing them home. Adopting a teenager Frenchie gives you a clearer picture of what to expect, making it easier to find a dog that fits well with your lifestyle and preferences.

3. Vaccination Status and Decreased Disease Risk for Teenager Frenchies

Adopting a teenager Frenchie often means bringing home a furry friend who has typically received their full series of shots. This means they are better protected against common diseases like Parvo, decreasing their chances of contracting serious illnesses. With a teenager Frenchie who has completed their vaccinations, you can feel more confident about taking them out and about. You can begin including them in your daily activities, such as dining out at pet-friendly outdoor patios, without the same level of worry about disease transmission. This added peace of mind allows you to enjoy new experiences with your Frenchie while keeping their health and safety a top priority. Also, this may be advantageous for those living in apartments and condos. 

4. Teenager Frenchies: Enhanced Maturity and Trainability

Embracing a teenager Frenchie brings forth a notable benefit in terms of their maturity level. By the time they reach around 4 months of age, these young Frenchies have transitioned beyond the initial puppy phase. Unlike their younger counterparts, teenager Frenchies exhibit increased attention and are better equipped to comprehend fundamental commands. Their elevated maturity equips them with a readiness to learn and a strong desire to please, resulting in a smoother and more efficient training experience. Given our constant presence throughout the day, they swiftly grasp the notion of rules and expectations, guaranteeing a seamless and harmonious transition into your home.

5. Our Teenage Frenchies Tend to be Lower in Price than Young Puppies. 

One often overlooked benefit of adopting a teenager Frenchie is the potential cost savings compared to adopting a younger puppy. Teenager Frenchies are typically lower in price than our younger puppies, making them a more budget-friendly option for many prospective dog owners. By choosing to adopt a teenager Frenchie, you can enjoy all the love and companionship of this adorable breed while enjoying a bit of saving.  We have no clue why some stay with us as teenagers. Many wonder why they haven’t been chosen yet and that is the same thing I wonder. I always presume they are waiting for someone extra special to call their pup parents.

Their extended time spent with us, combined with their maturity and trainability, make them an excellent choice for anyone in search of a devoted companion.
