Frenchton Health Problems
Shedding
Frenchies are moderate shedders while Boston Terriers are mild/moderate shedders.
Most Frenchtons will be somewhere between a mild to moderate shedder.
Breathing Issues
Just like Frenchies and Boston Terriers, Frenchtons are a brachycephalic breed— often called a “flat-faced breed”.
This means they’re prone to the same types of breathing issues found in Frenchies & Boston Terriers
| Condition | Details |
|---|---|
| Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome | Mainly consists of stenotic nares and elongated soft palate |
| Stenotic Nares | Pinched/narrow nostrils |
| Elongated Soft Palate | The soft part in the roof of the mouth is too long |
| Tracheal Collapse | Weakening of the cartilage rings of the trachea causes collapse |
