A Fluffy French Bulldog, also known as a Fluffy Frenchie, is a purebred variant of the breed which has long and fluffy fur. This fluffy fur comes from a mutation in the Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 (FGF5) gene which makes this breed incredibly rare. The Fluffy Frenchie is 100% French Bulldog. That’s right, the long-haired version is exactly like the regular one, except they have long hair.

The Fluffy Frenchie has longer hair than a regular French Bulldog all over its body, particularly around the ears. Accompanied by that adorable pushed-in nose, these dogs are irresistibly cute.

The look of a fluffy frenchie isn’t achieved by crossing a French Bulldog with another, fluffier dog. Instead, it is caused by a rare gene introduced into the breed at some point in the past. The gene is recessive, meaning both parents must possess and pass on the gene to their offspring to produce a Fluffy Frenchie.

Fluffy French bulldogs have a distinctive look that includes an oversized square-shaped head, erect, bat-like ears, deep wrinkles, a short snout with a flat face, and lots of soft fur. Their bodies are muscular, though short and compact and they have short tails that can be straight or screw-like. The fluffy French Bulldog is quite small, standing only 11 - 13 inches tall. Because of their muscular nature, they can be surprisingly heavy — between 16 and 28 pounds.
