What is a Lilac French Bulldog?…
The Lilac French Bulldog is a rare breed of dog distinguished by its lilac colouration which is part of the French bulldog’s blue gene. Every lilac coloured French bulldog is naturally a blue gene carrier. It is a vital requirement for them to be a carrier and have the dominant lilac gene.
Newly born puppies have a soft blue fawnish colour but as they mature, the colour changes and you can clearly identify their pink coat. Their noses are reddish pink and at times greyish blue which proves that they are naturally blue-gene dogs.
In order to produce a Lilac French Bulldog, both the dam and the sire must have the chocolate and blue gene, be blue carriers or be blue themselves.

Care…

Feeding…
The amount of feeds your dog consumes every day depends on their metabolism, size, the levels of activity, and age. However, it is recommendable that you feed them 1-1.5 cups of high-quality dry food every day.
This food should be divided into two and given at different time intervals perhaps one half in the morning and the other in the evening.
Instead of depending entirely on one type of dog food, try different types but ensure that they are of high-quality.

The skin is loose and wrinkled particularly on the shoulders and head, and most importantly, they have a soft texture and are easy to groom because the only thing you need to do is to brush them to keep their coats healthy. Grooming should start when they are young.

Health…
Always check for any skin lesion, scabs, flaky skin, bare spots, and any signs of infections.
Also check eyes, ears, and teeth for any bad smell or discharge. For either of these, you should take your Frenchie to a vet. You should clean their ears regularly using a damp warm cloth and when you see that the edges of the ears are dry, apply baby oil to them.
