ORIGIN OF THE BREED

Standard-sized Bulldogs in England were used to develop a miniature version. During the mid-19th century the diminutive Bulldog was a popular family pet in the English midlands where lace making was a local industry. When English lacemakers emigrated to France they took the miniature Bulldogs with them and eventually crossed them with local breeds. The result was a breed known as the "Bouldogue Francais" or French Bulldog.
