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

Trainability

Moderate to very high

The Poodle rates very high and the French Bulldog moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Very low to very high

Brush a couple of times a week.

The Poodle is usually described as active, proud, very smart. The French Bulldog as adaptable, playful, smart. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
