Thread: Complete dog newbie!

As a new French Bulldog owner myself, I must agree with everything that trishkidd24 (and the others as well) have said. I have had dogs my whole life, but usually large breed. On whole, I would say that potty training is taking a little bit longer - but after a month of being very vigilant he almost has it. I don't know if you have thought about pet insurance, but as Julie said, it is something to consider. After reading these boards and some others as well, we opted for peace of mind and went ahead and bought it. The only other thing that I was very aware of when looking for a puppy was the temperament of the parents. Like you, my heart was also set on getting a French Bulldog- and all I can say is that it is everything I thought it would be and more!! Good luck and I look forward to hearing what you decide.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I live in Cyprus and pet insurance doesn't really exist. there is only one insurer and they only cover EUR 1000 for 165 per year. However the vets bills here are quite cheap ( I think!) It's EUR 130 for a spay, my sister had a husky puppy and he broke his leg and I'm sure the surgery cost around EUR 200. So I'm not sure if the insurance is worth while or not. I might get it for the first year and see how we go. I'm going to see the puppy tomorrow and I am super excited. Here she is first as a puppy with her two brothers and now 5 weeks later Are there anythings I should look out for when I see her?
