Overview

The Frenchton is a designer hybrid breed consisting of French Bulldog and Boston Terrier. The breed originated in recent years in the United States. The purpose behind creating the Frenchton was to attempt to breed out some of the health risks associated with the French Bulldog. This designer hybrid also exhibits increased stamina as well as mass. It is not uncommon for puppies from the same litter to look quite different, as often the puppies will take on physical characteristics resembling more closely one parent or the other. The Frenchton is a relatively new designer breed, making information about the breed itself scarce. If you have further questions about this breed, consider contacting one of the accepted registries or a Frenchton breeder. The Frenchton can currently be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club, Designer Dogs Kennel Club, International Designer Canine Registry and the Designer Breed Registery.
