Welcome to the 1.5 Club

Why Frenchies Make the Perfect Boxer Sidekick

If you’ve got a Boxer, you already know the deal: a full-blown goofball in a muscle suit. Big energy. Big heart. Big ridiculousness. So when you think about adding a second dog, you might hesitate—could two such characters really coexist without turning your house upside down?

Enter the French Bulldog. Half the size, full of character. The perfect 1.5 dog: not quite a full second Boxer, but far more than just a sidekick.

Why Frenchies Fit Right In

They Speak Boxer.

Frenchies share that same clown-core spirit—bold, expressive, and absolutely ready to wrestle a dog twice their size. Instant playmate, zero intimidation.

Compact Chaos.

They bring high-octane zoomies in short, hilarious bursts. You get all the fun without needing a five-mile run, keeping pace with a Boxer’s bounce while sparing your living room.

Low-Maintenance Shadow.

Smaller appetite, less drool, less furniture flipping. A Frenchie happily orbits your Boxer’s world without tipping the balance.

Built-In Comic Relief.

Boxers are athletic clowns; Frenchies are bulldozing gremlins with snorts, snores, and stubborn sass. Double the laughs, half the drama.

1.5 Dogs, 100 Percent Pack

Adding a Frenchie doesn’t double your workload—it dials up the fun. You gain the joys of a two-dog household without the full-tilt chaos of two big bruisers. It’s not about going all-in on a second heavyweight; it’s about finding the sweet spot.

The Boxer brings the punch, the Frenchie delivers the punchline. That’s the 1.5 Club.
