The Miniature Australian
Bulldog is being developed by Mrs. Pip
Nobes and Mrs. Lee-ann Milton as a smaller
version of the Australian Bulldog. They took
a full size Australian Bulldog and crossed it with the
Pug and
French Bulldog. In the beginning of their
breeding, they considered using the Boston Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull
Terrier, however because of the temperaments of these two breeds, the idea was
scrapped. The goal was to create a healthier version of the
English Bulldog. |

Django, the Miniature Australian Bulldog at 5
months old.
"This is my 5 month old
Miniature Australian Bulldog "Django". I got him from a breeder in
Australia. Despite the serious stare in one of the photos (seen
below), Django is a comical dog, so full of personality and a zest
for life. Just like an English Bulldog,
he loves to cuddle and play. He is equally social with people and
dogs and fearless - often "working" the dog park so that when
another dog's owner throws the ball for their dog, he will use the
opportunity to get a free petting from the owner, then lie in wait
for the returning dog and chase him down to steal the ball. He can
be very naughty, whether its stealing laundry and shoes and making
his "mom" chase him to get them back or lying on his back with a toy
between his paws and barking at it. He has learned quickly, and
responds well to praise and a nice but firm tone of voice, but gets
rebellious and defiant with more dominant tactics. Unlike the
English Bulldog, he has no breathing difficulty, but does get
overheated. He is reluctant to take his walk when the temperature
exceeds 85 F, often throwing himself to roll around on the cool
shady grass. Though extremely easy going, he can be quite stubborn
when he doesn't see the point. He is a great dog for people who like
the English Bulldog, but desire a dog that is more active. Sometimes
his level of activity makes him a handful, but he keeps me
laughing."
