The Miniature English bulldog, being born of registered English parents, was developed in the 1980s in the USA by experienced breeders for want of a small-sized healthy bulldog for apartments. They are characterized by a low-slung body, broad shoulders, deep chest and rounded ribs.

Temperament

This loyal, affectionate breed is extrovert and sociable, a great companion for children, always desiring attention. Getting along well with other family pets, they may be quarrelsome with unfamiliar or strange dogs, possessing a strong sense of determination, being dominating and stubborn at times. At times, they snore while sleeping. During their puppy days, they are lively and energetic but get less active as they grow old.

Care

Exercise

The puppies would enjoy exercising while some of the adults may not be interested in too much activity, loving being indoors, but daily walks are needed to ensure fitness and better health.

Grooming

A firm bristle brush should be used for combing and brushing their short, smooth coat at least thrice a week, whereas they are to be bathed only when required. Cleaning their wrinkles with a damp cloth and shampooing twice a week is necessary to prevent infection. With a dribbling tendency after drinking, wipe their mouth after meals.

Health Problems

Like their parents, they may have breathing difficulties, at times even having small windpipes. Whelping difficulties in females, hip and knee problems, demodex mange (skin disease), cherry eye and poor eyesight are some health concerns. Heat stroke during warm weather or when kept in hot cars or rooms are also not uncommon.

Training

Obedience and socialization training should be imparted since their puppy days to help them get along well with strangers. Be assertive to prevent it from being stubborn or emerging as the ‘pack leader’.

Feeding

The Mini English Bulldog puppies should be fed at least 2 to 3 times a day when they are 2 to 4 months of age. The adult dog should be fed with high-quality dog food divided into equal meals. Overfeeding should be avoided.
