Vous chien es manigfique! Es tres bon! Merci mon ami Ho2cultcha.
I found this online, he looks like a Boston terrier, the face is wrong for a Frenchie. Hope it's of some help or a lead

Nice bulldog!
Looking the dog over I would say this could quite possibly be a kit dog. By that I mean that years ago you could send away and buy a door stop kit. You would get the unpainted dog, paint you selected and a paint brush. You put him together and painted it to suit yourself. The colors are wrong for a Hubley or National as are the screw locations. I have seen kit dogs that people filled with cement or sand to make them heavier. The normal weight would be anywhere from 5 to 8 pounds. The difference in weight is because many came in a couple different sizes.
Difficult to tell from a photo but that is my 2 cents.
thank you fhrjr2 - for all the info. Also thanks Mrstyndall, lizzycbw, and merci beaucoup Toyrebel!
