No offense to Frenchies, but it is not often one refers to one as classy. Amaretto, a petite fawn looker with a velvet cravat of neck rolls, deserves the label. Very much at home among the dogs and humans of Muttville, he would not look out of place at Cannes with a tiny cashmere cardigan draped over his shoulders. A youthful senior, he is both attentive and polite and enjoys a daily stroll. Like his brothers of the breed, he also appreciates all the attention you can spare. And as suave as he looks, he’s still a bulldog. The odd snort, head butt or occasional lapse regarding personal space is inevitable. Do we love him all the more? I’m afraid so. And so will you.
Here’s some notes from his foster:
Amaretto is a very cuddly guy who loves to follow me around the house, lay in my lap, and generally be close. I find he doesn’t need a ton of walk time, and one long walk each day is a good minimum outside of regular potty breaks. He doesn’t mind more and/or longer walks either, so if I’m running errands or want to take him somewhere on foot he’s good to go. He does struggle with reactivity to other dogs and prey like birds. I’ve been working with him on this, but an ideal owner would be willing to continue to help him work through it. Despite his flaws this furry guy loves people, pets, cuddles, and sleeping in!
