Miniature English Bulldogs were bred in the 1980s with the purpose of improving health and steadiness of the breed. These dogs retain all outer features of common English Bulldogs, and they possess a loving and kind-hearted temperament. They are obedient and protective, and once you have gained trust of this tiny mastiff-type creature, you are lifelong friends. These dogs are fairly active, and a good yard exercise will be good for your pet and yourself.
