French Bulldog Yorkie Mix

The French bulldog Yorkie mix hybrid is a blend of the two smaller breeds of French Bulldog and Yorkie. Learning about hybrid dogs can be challenging because they don’t have a long history. Due to accidental breeding, the practice of breeding such distinctive dogs has gained popularity over the past twenty years. To understand the French Bulldog Yorkie hybrid dog, it is preferable to be familiar with the histories of both parents’ breeds.

Background Information

It won’t be simple to find a thorough read on the history of the French Bulldog Yorkie mix, like most designer breeds that have grown in popularity over the past few decades or so.

The intentional crossbreeding of the French Bulldog and the Yorkie occurred so recently that no comprehensive origin story about them has yet emerged, despite the fact that mixed breeds like this one that was the result of accidental breeding have undoubtedly made their way to shelters in the past.

To provide readers—or new owners—a better understanding of the French Bulldog Yorkie hybrid’s history, we will describe the histories of both parent breeds below.

French Bulldog History

The French Bulldog also called Bouledogue Français, is a French breed of companion dog or toy dog. It appeared in Paris in the mid-nineteenth century, apparently the result of cross-breeding of Toy Bulldogs imported from England and local Parisian ratters. (Wikipedia)

It is commonly kept as a pet, and is among the most frequently registered dogs in a number of countries including Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.

French Bulldogs are the offspring of crossbreeding between Bulldogs and small terriers, and they were developed initially to be miniature Bulldogs. Around the period of the Industrial Revolution, French Bulldogs gained popularity in England and were subsequently transported to France.

They became so well-known in France that the term “French Bulldog” was introduced. And even though they are of English origin, the word “French Bulldog” has been used ever since.

Yorkie History

The Yorkshire Terrier, also called a Yorkie, is an English breed. The breed was created with the intention of catching mice in and near mines. The breed was given the name “Yorkshire Terriers” in 1861 at a bench show in England after a reporter recommended it because of how much the breed had progressed since it was brought to Yorkshire, England.
