You having fun, buddy?
(bright music playing) - [Madeline] They get called a Pug all the time, but they're French Bulldogs.
They're goofy, all of them, they're all goofy and weird in their own way.
The way they play, they snort, they snore.... just goofy dogs.
We went to a meetup, a Frenchie meetup in Madison, and we thought it would be a good idea to start one in the Milwaukee area.
So we didn't have to drive so far.
And so now we meet up here and there's usually about 30 Frenchies that show up now, and every time there's more so it's crazy, how many Frenchies there are in Milwaukee.
- It's good for the dog's socialization, and they make friends, that they see, you know, each month.
And then it's fun to meet the Frenchie owners too, and, you know, chat and talk about funny experiences.
- [Madeline] There's a lot of things just asking if something's different or odd with your dog, if it's happened with anybody else that has the same breed as you with puppies, how people do things different, or when do you feed your dog?
What do you feed your dog?
Since they're known to have health issues?
What are you feeding your dog?
Or if they have the same health issue that kind of, you can kind of diagnose, do I need to change their food or stuff like that?
So there's a lot of things like that are enrichment.
How you can get dogs to use their brains different ways than playing, if they're really needy.
Let the dogs have fun, let them burn some energy on the weekends.
They'll all sleep on the way home, and then my dog's always exhausted after this for like two days, but I think it's fun to meet up with other dog parents just to hang out with something to do on the weekend.
Just people who like the same thing; Frenchies.
