Many people think my Boston Terrier is a French bull dog. Personally, I can see a big difference between the two breeds − but here are the differences in greater detail.
Coloring
Boston Terriers are typically black or seal with white markings across the muzzle, between the eyes, and across the forechest. French bull dogs don’t have these white markings.
Body
Boston’s are slimmer than French bull dogs and have longer legs. Frenchies are typically shorter and stockier than Bostons. French bull dogs also typically have larger ears than Boston Terriers, they are said to have “bat ears.”
Agility
Bostons are very agile and love to run, jump, swim, and play; Frenchies aren’t so “athletic.” Frenchies are typically more “laid back” than Bostons and can’t swim due to their build.
Health Issues
Unfortunately, both breeds suffer the same breathing problems and cannot tolerate intense heat.

Thanks for the info. I recently got two Frenchie puppies. One of them looks IDENTICAL to my old Boston Terrier. I was aware of the similarities in structure, but the facial coloring was all Boston! Because they’re still babies, they’re not as stalky yet, and I couldn’t really tell the difference. I was starting to worry that we were scammed. Thanks to your site I see that a lot of Frenchies have similar coloring as well. Thanks again!
I get that all the time too! People wonder if my Boston is a French bulldog! Hope everything works out for you! I’d love to see a picture of your puppies. If you submit it by email I will upload it to the site! Take care!
LOL That’s too funny. I will send you some pictures. Thanks again. You take care as well!
