<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before making a decision to have your French Bulldog live outside, it’s important to know and weigh the risks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lack of Socialization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lack of socialization can lead to behavioral problems such as aggression or anxiety. If your Frenchie is not socialized or trained appropriately, they may become aggressive toward other dogs or people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential for predators or pests to harm your Frenchie. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

French Bulldogs are a small breed and can be vulnerable to attacks from larger animals, such as coyotes or foxes. Make sure your yard is securely fenced and that your Frenchie is supervised at all times when outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separation Anxiety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

French Bulldogs love their owners. This doesn\u2019t sound like a bad thing, but they really love their owners. They just seem to crave human contact. They can become clingy to their owners and do not like to be left alone, and can suffer from separation anxiety<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate and Weather Conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

French Bulldogs are sensitive to extreme weather conditions, including both hot and cold temperatures. If you live in an area with harsh weather conditions, living outside is unsafe for your Frenchie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
