French Bulldog bust by Matt Buckley - from the EDGE contemporary sculpture collection. Originally bred in the 1800s, French Bulldogs are excellent show dogs and family companions, being good with children, adaptable, intelligent, eager to please and easy to train. Known as the clowns of the dog world, Frenchies have become one of the most popular breeds in the UK. Master sculptor Matt Buckley has captured the French Bulldog expression perfectly - a fine gift for any fan of these mischievous but loveable dogs.
