Gender alone is not a sole factor that would determine whether the dog is well-behaved and friendly or not. Certain other factors impact the overall behavior pattern of the dog.

- Compatibility with kids:
The male French bulldogs are naturally mischievous and playful. They enjoy the company of kids. One thing is quite evident in male French bulldogs is that they lack parental instinct.
