What is a TRUE NATURAL MINI BULLDOG?
RB's Mini Mite Munchkins are NOT RUNTS, nor are they cross or
mixed bred! Our minis are AKC purebred, naturally occurring
small bullys that are born fat & healthy with a smaller frame
structure. Here at Rare Bulldogs, we have taken our Natural
Minis & bred them together, thus we have produced several ALL
MINI Litters. As we breed Mini to Mini for several generations,
soon 95% of our puppies born to such matches, will be Mini.
True Runts are malnourished in uetero or have some congenital
problems that may or may not be evident at birth. If these
babies live, they almost always grow up to be a normal size dog
for their breed. Breeders who try to pass off Runts as Minis,
petites, toys, etc. are unscrupulous & more than likely have
ulterior motives.
AKC has recently
changed it's size in weight on the English Bulldog. Forever it
has been a flat out 55 lbs. But now they have a 50 lb
designation for MALES & a 40 lb designation for FEMALES. Thus we
have changed our definition of TRUE MINI to coincide with the
AKC Standard on English Bulldogs. The AKC French Bulldog weight
Standard is 28 lbs and the 20 to 28 lb range is commonly
accepted as standard.
There is officially no accepted Standard for a "Mini
English or Mini French Bulldog", but common sense would dictate that anything under the
accepted standard would be considered a mini. At Rare Bulldogs.com we
consider our English Bulldogs to be "Minis" if they are Boys under
50
lbs. and Girls under 40 lbs. We
are striving to breed our Naturally Small English to acquire a 28 to 38
pound range. We consider our Frenchies to
be mini if they are under 20 lbs, thus striving for the 12 to 18
lb range. We also designate a very few of our MINI babies as
"Petite Minis" as we believe they are so petite, that
they may very well stay under 15lbs. Even in our Standard size bullys
we have consistently had at
least one or 2 Natural mini's in every litter.
