The French Bulldog weighs between 19 and 28 lbs (the English Bulldog weighs 50-55), and has what are called bat ears, wide at the base, narrower and rounded at the top, and situated high on the head. While its smaller body appears as compact and sturdy as the English Bulldog, its head does not appear as massive. The wide, up-turned lower jaw projects noticeably in front of the upper jaw. The floppy flaps of skin that hang past the lower jaw are called “flews” or “chops.”
Large and square. Eyes dark in color, wide apart, set low down in the skull, as far from the ears as possible, round in form, of moderate size, neither sunken nor bulging. In lighter colored dogs, lighter colored eyes are acceptable. No haw and no white of the eye showing when looking forward.
French Bulldog skull. Trapezoidal temporal fossa with an irregular surface; bar=18 mm.
surface was rough with well-formed bone thickenings, especially in their dor- sal half. The temporal crest and the tem- poral line were rounded. The external sagittal crest was indistinct and located in the area of the interparietal bone
