Common questions › Mini & micro size
The short answer
Pros: a mini is compact, so it fits any living space and is easier to travel with (smaller crates, carriers, less to carry), it has less hair and needs less grooming, and it's very affectionate, great with family and kids.
Cons: a lot of mini breeders chase size and not health, temperament and function, so choose carefully. And expect some good old-fashioned bulldog snoring: the better the bulldog, the less of it.
Pro one: a mini is smaller than a standard bulldog, shorter and more compact, which means easier travel: smaller crates, smaller carriers, less weight to carry. A lot easier in cars and on planes.
Pro two: a smaller dog has less hair, so it's easier to groom, with less maintenance.
Con one is breeding ethics. A lot of mini English bulldog breeders focus only on size, not health, temperament and functionality like they should. Be very careful where you get a mini from.
Con two: the good old-fashioned bulldog snoring. The better the quality of bulldog, the less snoring you'll get, but you'll most likely still get some. Be prepared.
