English Bulldog puppies have changed over the years. In 1985, people began breeding what were later called Miniature English Bulldog puppies. These Miniature English Bulldog puppies were developed in order to improve the health of the animals. All the features that are found in regular English Bulldogs can be found in the miniature version. These smaller dogs do not reach the same height and weight has regular Bulldogs, nor do they have as many health problems. These make great pets for people who love Bulldogs but who do not have the room to have one.
There are different breeds of Miniature English Bulldog puppies on the market today. You have people who are breedingpurebred bulldog puppies just at half the size, whereas you have others that are breeding hybrid Bulldog puppies. Hybrid means that several breeds are mixed to get an English Bulldog. Knowing the difference between the two is very important because there are some breeders that say that if you are getting a hybrid dog, then you are not getting a true English Bulldog puppy.
The American Kennel Association has been disputing the validity of Miniature English Bulldog puppies.
{mosimage}They are questioning the breeding practices that people are using to breed these dogs. Due to the fact that the American Kennel Association has t not readily accepted this dog breed as a pure breed miniature dog, it makes it harder for breeders to get registration papers for these animals. If a breeder is advertising that he/she has purebred Miniature Bulldogs, then these animals have to be registered with the American Kennel Association. People are not going to pay the money for a purebred dog that is not registered because there is no proof that is in fact purebred.
The question people often ask is exactly how people make Miniature English Bulldog puppies. Many breeders are not willing to reveal their "recipe" for making these puppies. There are some breeders that say that they have bred a full size Bulldog with a Bulldog/Pug mix in order to get a smaller size animal that looks like a Bulldog. Due to the fact that a pug is being used, people are not willing to accept the fact that this is a purebred animal.
Research has found that these animals are highly intelligent and they are easily trained. If you are attempting to train your own Bulldog puppies then you need to make sure that you use consistency and firmness. While other dogs do not respond well to a firm tone, Bulldogs are the opposite. They need firmness if you are to train them properly. There is a difference however between a firm tone and screaming or yelling at your dog. If you attempt to train these animals by yelling at them, you will be unsuccessful. These animals can be stubborn and in the end, they are likely to curl up on the couch and ignore you. You need to treat your Miniature English Bbulldog puppies right if you are trying to train them.
