Bull-Pug, Mini-Bulldog, English Toy Bulldog
Overview
The Miniature Bulldog is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Bulldog and the Pug or the Olde Bulldog and the Pug. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in any of the breeds in the hybrid. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
The Miniature Bulldog should not be confused with the Miniature English Bulldog, which is the purebred English Bulldog being bred down in size and called Miniature by some breeders.
