Meet the super-rare cuties that are taking the internet by storm— long-haired purebred French bulldogs.
According to Frenchie Mania, these lion-eared Frenchies are the result of two parents carrying an extremely rare and recessive gene that doesn’t typically appear in the breed.
We found five of these majestic unicorns of dog-dom on Instagram for you to obsess over.

Mixed breed. You can tell just looking at it and knowing the fb standard. The nose is huge, like a large breed. The ears small and the long fur, gawd knows where that came from. I dont believe in recesssive genes. Its a mixed breed. Bred for social media attention and probably money

Sick of seeing this bogus crap and people getting ripped off into paying stupid amounts of money for what at the end of the day is a cross breed. Not recognised by the kennel club as a breed so there for a mut

why change a breed if you like it’s ok but why call them French bouledogues, I just mean stop dressing dogs, stop wanting the difference get into a breed, love the dog you choose, but a long haired bouledogue isn’t a french bouledogue doesn’t make him or her uglier or prettier , just different out of a breed.

It is just a recessive gene that results in the long hair coat.

Be careful if you go searching for one hat you don’t end up with a Frenchie cross being passed off as a rough.

Cathy Karcheski no offense I’m sure he’s lovely but I don’t believe in promoting ‘designer dogs’ or encouraging their breeding.
