Shedding

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

Low to very high

Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.

Trainability

Very low to moderate

The French Bulldog rates moderate and the Blue Heeler very low; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Very low

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The French Bulldog is usually described as adaptable, playful, smart. The Blue Heeler as alert, curious, pleasant. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
