French Bulldog
Small, stubborn, and the most-stolen breed in the US, UK, and Australia.
Frenchies aren't usually lost — they're usually taken. A Frenchie worth $3,000 walks right out of an unlocked car. When a lost Frenchie surfaces three suburbs over, it's rarely by accident.
What makes them, them
- 18–28 lb adult; brachycephalic (short-nosed) — heat and stress are medical emergencies.
- Social glue for their family, extremely attached to one or two humans.
- Prone to skin folds, hip issues, and BOAS (breathing obstruction).
Safety — what actually goes wrong
- Never leave a Frenchie in a parked car — even at 22°C.
- Thefts spike around bank holidays and house moves; avoid posting 'bringing home new puppy!' photos with a visible address.
- Chip AND Boop-tag your Frenchie. Thieves routinely swap plain ID tags but rarely know to check for NFC.
How Boop helps French Bulldogs stay home
Every Boop scan is geotagged (with the scanner's consent) so if your Frenchie resurfaces at a groomer four states away, you get their exact location and the chance to coordinate with local rescue.
