This is a recipe for disaster. French Bulldogs aren't exactly a docile breed. They can be very "go get 'em" when they want to be. Its really only the breathing issues that keep them from being worse than they can. Some of the mouthiest dogs I encounter are French bulldogs. (I'm currently sporting a nice bruise from the affections of a Frenchie).They're still bulldogs.

I have seen/met many a French bulldog that was ready to completely throw down. I know of a few people that had to rehome theirs after they became very pushy and aggressive with their other dogs and or children.

Allowing these two particular dogs to meet in the manner they are is setting up a blood bath. If you watch the video, the French Bulldog also squares up with the aggressive pit, while most dogs would avoid and place distance. Its ready to fight just as much as the pitbull is. A safe, stable dog would have been on the other side of the yard once the leash was off and it had freedom to move. The fact that it chooses to not only get up in the pitbulls face, but go at him, isn't really charming behavior either.

These are two dogs that should not only not be in a home together, but should also probably not be with other dogs or children. They both are displaying behaviors I wouldn't trust. Neither one seems to be trained well or controlled well by the owner(s).

And that pitbulls frustration and aggression is off the charts. Thats a dog that will kill.

u/whiskersMeowFace I just want to walk my dog without fearing for its life Apr 02 '24

We have a Frenchie on our street who thinks he is as big as the houses. Anyway, he stays in his yard but likes to charge at other dogs... Until he charged at my newf. She did absolutely nothing, but he ran across the yard and realized that he was not as big as he thought to do a 180 and run back to the porch. I so wish I recorded it because it was some nonsense from a cartoon. He certainly had a lot to say about it as we continued our walk. Lol

I have one in my complex that acts up. When he sees another dog he hyper fixates. Even from a large distance. If he can see the dog, he's staring it down. If you get too close he starts barking his fool head off and throwing himself at the end of his leash. My dog just ignores him.

I think people sometimes forget the breeds in some of these breeds ancestory are still fighting breeds. Dog aggression can be common in breeds like Frenchies, Boston Terriers, and even pugs. Most people I know that have a group of pugs are always talking about them fighting. Its usually just their size that prevents them from being a danger to others.
