“This monkey is murder. He is a rare, unique puppy. I waited a long time for it and went through many adventures to bring it to me. It was a lot of money, it reached 20,000 euros. Someone asked me how much it was and I said: “the advance for a studio apartment!””said Rocsana Marcu for Click.ro.

“It's a rare breed, it's called a Fluffy Frenchie, actually I'm a Frenchie but this color is very hard to find, with eyes like that. I was with him here in Dubai, in our neighborhood all the villas are decorated for Halloween. The girls bought him a Halloween costume, with a knife in his hand, he likes to dress up in costumes, he scared the whole neighborhood. He's dressed in suits all day. His name is Bruleé, you say he's human, he looks at you when you say he's talking to you! We are swooning over him. I got him from America, he's a baby, he's 7 months old, we're melted, me and the girls too. It's sensational,” said the blonde.

In the US, the average price range for a Fluffy French Bulldog puppy is usually between $5,000 and $15,000.

Fluffy Frenchie Bulldogs are no ordinary French Bulldogs. Their long-haired coat is the result of a recessive gene, meaning that both parents must carry the gene for a puppy to be born with this unique trait. This rarity is one of the main reasons why they are so expensive.

For some time, Rocsana Marcu left the country and works in real estate in Dubai.
