HISTORY
OF THE MINIATURE BULLDOG
The Miniature Bulldog is a non-sporting / companion
breed that was bred to be a loving companion. The Miniature Bulldog breed
was first recorded as being developed in America around the 1970' s –
1980's. The Miniature Bulldog breed was bred from the English Bulldog
breed and has a small percent of Pug and French Bulldog in the first
generations. In most Miniature Bulldog lines these breeds are 5 or more
generations removed. The Miniature Bulldog breed closely resembles the
English Bulldog, the biggest difference in the two breeds being size &
health. The Miniature Bulldog breed was developed in hopes of improving
the health a nd reducing the size of the full sized English Bulldog. Mini
Bulldogs have typical features of full sized English Bulldogs. Weight can
range from 20 to 40 lbs. These dogs typically stand 12-14" at the
shoulders, length is 17-24".
The Minia ture Bulldogs ancestors were originally developed in London
England for the cruel sport of bull and bearbaiting. (A cruel sport  where
dogs were put in a pit to fight a bull or bear) The first mention of a dog
of the Bulldog type was first recorded in literature from around 1200, and
by 1500 the name used for them was Bandogge. Most of the better Bulldog
br eeding was done in the London, Birmingham and Sheffield areas. Bulldogs
were bred from  crosses made using Mastiffs, Bandogges, pugs(for size &
body type) and various other dog breeds to create qualities in them that
would be needed for participation in this sport, such as the
characteristic short muzzles and striking undershot jaw.
Bullbaiting was prohibited by law in the year of 1835. The Bulldog breed
could have became extinct. Thanks to a few men who loved  the Bulldog breed
and worked very hard to save, change and preserve them the Bulldog breeds continued to improve. The original
fighting bulldog was taller & more aggressive by  nature and that is why it
was modified with Chinese Pug in the late 18th century. Through selective
Breeding of only high quality, healthy small Bulldogs we have created the
sweet, docile family pets that we know as the Miniature Bulldog of today.
