You should always teach children how to approach and touch dogs, and supervise any interactions.
Frenchton History:
The Frenchton mixed breed may have existed naturally over the years, but designer breeders started intentionally mixing French Bulldogs and BostonTerriers to create a healthier French Bulldog, as several years of inbreeding can take a toll on genetics and health.
French Bulldogs come from the UK, where breeders wanted to create a small English Bulldog. Many French Bulldog owners emigrated to France and brought their adorable pups with them. Boston Terriers are from Boston, MA, but it's unclear exactly where Boston Terriers' ancestry goes back to before then.
