An indoor dog house for a French Bulldog

A short muzzle that struggles with heat. The size we would start from, and the designs that suit the breed.

Class: Small dogs, under 40 cm at the shoulder
Shoulder: 28-33 cm
Weight: 8-14 kg
Den, larger dog: 65 x 45 x 50 cm

Monolith, drawn for a French Bulldog

At 31 cm at the shoulder, Monolith comes out at 65 x 45 x 60 cm outside. The dog beside it is drawn to the same scale.

Breed standards are a starting point. Measure your own dog and we will check the numbers.

What a French Bulldog needs

French bulldogs are brachycephalic. They cool themselves poorly, so an enclosed den must breathe. We build Frenchie dens with extra rear ventilation, no door and a cooler linen cover. Their backs are also prone to disc problems. Steps onto the sofa are kinder than a jump.

Length: Nose to tail base plus 15 cm, about 65 cm.
Height: Clears a standing head by 8 cm, about 50 cm.
Width: 70% of the length, room to turn and curl up. About 45 cm.
