Why Two French Bulldogs Are Better Than One: 7 Benefits You’ll Love

If you think one French Bulldog fills your home with love and laughter, imagine what two can do! At TomKings Puppies, we’ve seen how adopting a second Frenchie can transform your life and bring even more joy to your family. Many parents in our TomKings Frenchie Family Facebook group say that bringing home a second puppy was one of the best decisions they made. French Bulldogs are social, playful, and affectionate by nature, and they thrive not just with humans, but with other pups too. Based on our experience and the stories from our happy families, we’ll show you why two French Bulldogs really are better than one!

Why Adopt More Frenchies?

Bringing home a second Frenchie is a decision that comes with so many benefits. Below, we’ve outlined seven great reasons why two French Bulldogs are better than one!

1. Double the Entertainment for You

One of the biggest perks of having two French Bulldogs is the endless entertainment they provide. Frenchies are naturally playful and curious, and when they have a companion, their energy levels seem to multiply! Instead of relying on you for constant playtime, they’ll keep each other busy—chasing toys, playing tug-of-war, or simply snuggling up together for a nap. This way, even when you’re busy, your pups will have a friend to keep them active and happy.

“Best decision we made. They love and entertain each other. We also have a 15-year-old Chihuahua, and when we had just one Frenchie, she constantly wanted to play with him. He hated her, and having a second puppy for her to play with has actually calmed her down a lot. Now they’re all friends!”  (Marvin)

2. Easier Socialization

Having two French Bulldogs can significantly improve their socialization progress. The younger pup will often follow the older one’s lead, picking up behaviors and routines faster. Whether it’s learning how to interact with other dogs, understanding household routines, or picking up on commands faster, your second pup will learn a great deal from your first, making their raising much easier.

3. Less Separation Anxiety

One of the biggest challenges for French Bulldog parents is dealing with separation anxiety. Frenchies are known for their strong attachment to their humans, and they don’t like being left alone for long periods. However, having two French Bulldogs can significantly reduce this issue. Instead of feeling lonely, they’ll play and snuggle together, giving you peace of mind that your pups are happy and relaxed while you’re away.

4. Companionship for the Pups

French Bulldogs are highly social and thrive on companionship. When you have two French Bulldogs, they quickly form a strong bond, becoming inseparable friends. Whether they’re playing, cuddling, or just hanging out together, they provide each other with constant comfort and friendship. This bond not only makes them happier but also gives them a sense of security. Many of our TomKings families share stories about how their Frenchies love spending time together and look for each other if one is out of sight.

“Two Frenchies from TKK are better than one! Louie and Gemma are about a month apart, and you’d think they’d always been together! They play hard and love to snuggle! One is always looking for the other. Thank you, TKK, for the most amazing pups! The joy they bring is immeasurable!”  (Jennifer)

5. Easier Training for the Second Frenchie

Training a second French Bulldog is often much easier when you already have one well-trained pup at home. The older Frenchie naturally becomes a role model, helping the younger one pick up on routines, commands, and good behavior much faster. From learning commands to housebreaking, the younger dog tends to mimic the older one, making the process smoother and faster.

“Two Frenchies were the best decision we made for our happiness and, of course, most importantly, for our Frenchies’ happiness. They LOVE each other and entertain each other.”  (Angela)

6. Shared Exercise and Play

With two Frenchies, playtime and exercise are built into their daily routine, ensuring they get plenty of exercise throughout the day. From chasing each other around the house to tug-of-war with their favorite toys, their playful interactions keep them active and entertained. This not only reduces the need for frequent walks but also prevents boredom, and supports their physical and mental well-being. Plus, watching them play together is a joy for any Frenchie parent!

“We welcomed our second TomKings Frenchie just over a week ago. Poppy is such a joy and a bundle of energy. She and Mina are getting along great. They love to play together and are always after the same toy. The quiet times (although rare) are pretty darn cute. I think they are well on their way to being best friends!” (Cindy)

7. Twice the Love and Joy

With two French Bulldogs, you’re welcoming twice the love, snuggles, and happiness into your home. Each Frenchie has their own unique personality, and having two brings even more laughter and fun into your family. Many of our TomKings parents say that life with two Frenchies is more complete, and the double affection makes everything better!

“I have two puppies, a 6-month-old and a 10-month-old, and they are inseparable. It’s hard at times because two puppies are a lot, but I wouldn’t change a thing—twice the love!! And twice the cuteness!”  (Jessica)

Challenges of Owning Two French Bulldogs

As rewarding as it is, having two Frenchies does come with some challenges. For example, training two dogs requires more time and patience. Although the second pup may learn faster from the first, you’ll still need to dedicate time to train both dogs, especially when it comes to preventing jealousy.

Another important consideration is cost. While you likely already have much of the necessary gear—like beds, bowls, and toys—from your first Frenchie, things like food, vet visits, and grooming will double. It’s essential to plan for these expenses.

Lastly, be prepared for double the cleanup! Whether it’s shedding or cleaning up after them, managing two dogs naturally takes more effort. But for most Frenchie owners, the love and joy of having two outweigh these challenges, making it well worth the extra responsibility.

A Boy or a Girl?

When adopting two French Bulldogs, deciding between a male vs female, or a male and a female is important. In general, a male and female pair works well, especially if one or both are neutered. This combination tends to balance out their personalities and reduce dominance issues.

If you choose two boys, they might compete for dominance, especially if they aren’t neutered. Two girls usually get along better, but they can also vie for your attention. The key is to consider their personalities and discuss with your breeder to find the right match for your family. In the end, with proper training and care, any combination can thrive!

Precautions to Keep in Mind When Introducing Them

Introducing two French Bulldogs can be exciting, but there are a few steps to ensure a smooth transition. First, introduce them in a neutral area, like a park, to avoid territorial behavior. Your first Frenchie may feel protective of their space if the initial meeting happens at home.

Keep both pups on leashes or let them roam off-leash together, but make sure neither feels restricted. Watch their body language closely during the first interactions—some cautious sniffing or growling is normal, but if tension arises, redirect their focus calmly.

Give your pups time to adjust. Your first Frenchie may feel a bit jealous at first, so make sure you’re providing equal attention to both. Over time, they’ll form their own bond and become more comfortable together. Patience, positive reinforcement, and consistency are key to creating a harmonious relationship between your Frenchies.

Conclusion: Are Frenchies Better in Pairs?

As we like to say at TomKings, “Frenchies are like potato chips—you can’t have just one!” Bringing home two French Bulldogs doesn’t just double the fun, it reduces anxiety and creates a lasting bond between your pups. They’ll keep each other entertained, help with training, and shower you with twice the affection.

Many of our TomKings families have found that life is simply better with two Frenchies. So, if you’re considering adding another Frenchie to your family, we say go for it! Your home—and your heart—will be twice as full.
