Who is a long haired French bulldog?

Not many of you have seen a long haired French bulldog, however, they really exist. They have distinctive bat ears, Frenchie’s body shape, and visibly longer hair from standard Frenchies. The wavy, and longer hair usually occurs on their heads, and slightly goes into shorter on the back. Despite the fact this type of a Frenchie is not recognized by the AKC, it’s actually a completely healthy dog with rare genes. The rare long hair in French bulldogs occurs due to the parents’ possession of the recessive gene.

The recessive L4 gene should be found in both parents but they should not necessarily have long haired coats. They only need to be carriers. A similar situation happens in human genetics. For example, the red hair genes can skip several generations, and then when both parents are carriers of the same gene, they may get a child with red hair.
