The toy bulldog is an extinct unrecognized breed of small bulldog that existed in England during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
The same name is used for unrelated, but similar-appearing dogs, that are mostly modern crosses between bulldogs and pugs, which are also not a recognized dog breed.
Early dog breeders worked in two different directions, to decrease the weight to a desirable 20 pounds or so and create a new toy bulldog breed:
The breeding programs were dropped, and the line of dogs bred from these early attempts died out.
Nowadays, the term toy bulldog is occasionally used to describe a small variety of another cross also called a miniature bulldog. They are not an established breed, but rather a hybrid produced by crossbreeding bulldogs with pugs or the crossed offspring.[ citation needed] They come in a variety of different colors ranging from pale yellow, light fawn to solid red. [4]
Modern toy bulldogs are stubborn and hard to train. They also do not socialize and cannot live together with other dogs that have been introduced to them as mature dogs. Toy bulldogs do not need much care and love being indoors along with afternoon naps. [4]
