13 Funny Behaviors Only French Bulldog Owners Will Understand

The holiday season has come and gone, and now we’re settling into the quieter, gray days of January. But if you’re lucky enough to share your life with a French Bulldog, “quiet” and “boring” are words that simply don’t exist in your vocabulary. These little comedians make sure the post-holiday blues never have a chance to settle in.

From their hilarious zoomies to their dramatic side-eyes, Frenchies have an endless list of quirky behaviors that keep us entertained day in and day out. In this week’s blog, we’ve rounded up 13 of the funniest, most relatable Frenchie antics that only their devoted owners will truly understand. To top it off, we asked our amazing TomKings Frenchie Family to share their experiences, and the results speak for themselves! Get ready to laugh, nod along, and fall even more in love with these little goofballs!

13 Funny Frenchie Behaviors

1. The Frenchie Language 

Living with a Frenchie feels less like having a dog and more like sharing your home with a tiny alien. While they don’t bark much, they more than make up for it with their own quirky language—snorts, grunts, yodels, and even dramatic sighs. It’s impossible not to laugh as they “talk” their way through the day!

2. The Zoomies 

Out of nowhere, your Frenchie transforms into a tiny tornado, sprinting around the house like they just discovered a hidden turbo button. Whether it’s pure excitement or a random burst of energy, these zoomies are chaotic, hilarious, and 100% Frenchie.

3. The Stubborn Refusal

Ask a Frenchie to do something—anything—and you might get a blank stare, as if they’re contemplating the meaning of life. Need them to come inside, go for a walk, or just move off the couch? Good luck. Of course, introduce a treat into the equation, and suddenly they’re the most obedient dog on the planet.

4. The Sploot Pose 

No one can rock the famous “sploot” like a Frenchie—legs stretched out behind them, belly flat on the floor. Whether they’re cooling off or just claiming their spot, this pose is guaranteed to melt your heart and make you wonder how they’re so effortlessly cute.

5. The Velcro Shadow

Privacy? What’s that? Your Frenchie is practically superglued to your side, following you from the couch to the kitchen—and yes, even to the bathroom. They’re not being clingy; they’re just making sure you never face life’s challenges (like brushing your teeth) alone!

6. The Side-Eye 

No one throws shade quite like a Frenchie. That sassy, judgmental side-eye they give when you’ve done something “unacceptable” (like not sharing your snack) is equal parts hilarious and humbling.

7. The Blanket Royalty

Forget the fancy dog bed on the floor—your Frenchie has already claimed the comfiest spot in the house: your bed or couch. And don’t think for a second they’ll settle for just lounging. Oh no, they expect to be properly tucked in, because true royalty deserves nothing less!

“Nyahs favorite way to sleep in her chair in the window and always sleep with her eyes open.” (Lauren)

8. The Butt Wiggle 

With tails too short for a proper wag, Frenchies have mastered the full-body wiggle. Their happy dance, complete with a little booty shake, is so enthusiastic it could brighten even the gloomiest day!

9. The Dramatic Flop 

One minute they’re full of energy, the next they’re sprawled on the floor like their batteries just ran out. It’s like someone hit their “off” switch, and honestly, it’s as funny as it is relatable.

10. The Gas Factory 

Frenchie farts are the stuff of legend—loud, frequent, and always unexpected. Just when you think you’re safe, they’ll casually clear the room with their “special gift.” You can’t help but laugh… from a safe distance.

“When @butkus_farts leaves you relaxing you enjoy dog farts for some reason 🤷🏻‍♂️” (Michael)

11. The Snack Stare 

When you’re eating, your Frenchie becomes a laser-focused statue, staring at you with unblinking intensity. Their eyes say it all: “I deserve a bite of that, and you know it.” Resistance is futile.

“Mine stands on her feet and stares at us when she wants our food🤣” (Addy)

12. The Human Sit 

Frenchies have perfected the art of sitting like a human—back upright, legs out, looking like they’re ready to join you for a Netflix binge. It’s weird, it’s hilarious, and it’s 100% Frenchie.

“Does anyone else’s frenchie sit like a human?🤣 I love her so much she cracks me up!” (Addy)

13. The Sleep Shenanigans

Frenchies can fall asleep just about anywhere—in positions that defy both logic and gravity. From balancing on the edge of the couch to sprawling belly-up like a starfish, their napping habits are as funny as they are adorable.

“Bailey does so many things it’s hard to list 🤪🤭. She sits on her brother’s head, random zoomies, stalks him like a cheetah-which turns into zoomies, and must not let anyone in the house have her bone 🦴. Here are just a few pics. They also demand their own sleeper chairs in Mommy’s office so they are super cozy while I work and they nap 😴 🥰” (Jenn)
