The Frenchie Staff dog is an animal who is intelligent, happy, outgoing, stable and confident. They are curious and lively and make great family pets. Their aim is to please and they are very obedient, although they can also have a little touch of stubbornness that needs patience and a firm but kind hand. The Frenchie Staff needs a strong pack leader, preferably an owner who has experience with dogs and understands their needs. These dogs don't like to be ignored, they are part of the family and want to be involved in everything. While they are not usually aggressive dogs, they are courageous and will fight if provoked especially if their owner or property is under threat. These dogs need socializing when very young, they need to be thoroughly immersed with people and other dogs to understand the standards of behavior that are expected.
Investigation into the parent dog history starts during the 19th Century in the English town of Staffordshire, where many breeders were crossing the Bulldog and various Terriers to produce a very muscular active dog that they called the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The French Terrier on the other hand originated in Nottingham City in England during the 19th Century. The craftspeople of the Lace Makers Guild bred them down from the English Bulldog, they wanted a lapdog and companion and they achieved just that in the Frenchie. Most lace makers went to France to escape the industrial revolution and they took these little dogs with them. The French people fell in love with this sturdy little dog and they named it the French Bulldog.
