French Bulldog vs. Boston Terrier: What’s the Difference?

French Bulldogs and Boston Terriers are often confused with one another due to their similar size and facial features. However, there are several key differences between the two breeds.

Temperament Differences

Both breeds are affectionate and love human companionship, but there are some key differences:

• French Bulldogs tend to be a little more relaxed, preferring to lounge around and soak up attention.
• Boston Terriers are more energetic and playful, often requiring more exercise and mental stimulation.

Exercise Needs

• French Bulldogs require minimal exercise and are content with short walks.
• Boston Terriers are more active and need more playtime to burn off their energy.

Health Considerations

Which One is Right for You?

If you’re looking for a relaxed companion who loves to cuddle, a French Bulldog might be the perfect fit. However, if you prefer a slightly more energetic and playful dog, a Boston Terrier could be a better choice.
