We purchased a 'mini' bulldog last year and we too thought that he would end up being much smaller. He is a little over a year old and is 59 lbs. Although he doesn't have the typical normal size English Bulldog stature, he isn't a miniature by far. I have also stopped referring to him as a 'mini' because people just look at me like "there is nothing mini about that dog".
On the other hand when we received him we took him to the vet the very next day and they said he was very healthy and we haven't had any health issues with him.
Elena was very nice when we wanted information and even provided us baby pictures and pictures of the mother. However, when I emailed her a couple of times after we received the puppy about a couple things-no response.
We did our homework before we dropped $2,500 online so we were aware that Elena was in Florida and that the puppy wasn't. I did ask if we could visit the puppy before we purchased it and she said that that wouldn't be a problem and provided me a phone number of where the puppy was (even though we never did). I think she said that her sister was taking care of the puppies for her and she was in charge of all the paperwork/money stuff in Florida. When I met the puppy deliverer (he was delivered by van) they had numerous different types of puppies with them that they were delivering all over the states. The driver was really nice and when I asked why she was delivering different types of dogs instead of just 'minis' she said that she delivers for many different breeders. I don't really know what really was going on, but that was the story that I got.
Of course I love our dog, but he is definitely not a small dog. The vet says he is healthy and isn't overweight. He gets fed exactly what the vet recommends and runs around plenty in our fenced backyard when the weather is nice.

Yep, do your homework. Consider that there is only 1, yes one registry and club to my knowledge and to date which reckognises them, and it is a group of people whom have formed it themselves. Also consider that the history of this 'breed' indicates that they have only been trying to breed down their lines for the last 30 years, which is NOT long enough for it to be consistant. While there are certainly smaller bulldogs, it is in no way consistant, and you are likely to find one in a litter not advertised as such. If you do have a smaller bulldog, it is wise to run a test for at least a liver shunt to ensure this is not a contributing factor for the small size. Also, it is not uncommon for unethical folks to breed a bulldog with a smaller breed like the french bulldog, and sell it as a mini bulldog. If you don't mind this, good for you, but if you do ....... Also, the bulldog is a breed whom is BUILT to have problems. It is not a question of whether or not your bully has hip dysplasia, but how severe, and what YOU can do to help (alot of this will be during their growth period and pertains to activities and levels, and your food) more bulldogs than not have an episode with demodex at some point (again, how severe), cherry eye and entropian, breathing issues (again, how severe), allergies (better to stick to all natural foods and shampoos and such, and again how severe)and umbilical hernia's are common in this breed due to the c-section factor, they are sensitive to high temperatures and over heat easily, it is difficult for their heart to support their body structure, sensitivity to anesthetics , just to name a few. And of course, it is best to have a veterinarian whom is familiar and aware of all of this, so that they may more accurately judge what is beyond normal for a bulldog, as well as be able to care for your bully more effectively. So, please do your homework before bringing home that adorable little kid, and make sure that you will be able to meet THEIR needs. *just my opinions*
