As I said I am sorry for your loss, in the future, you, and whomever else in interested in 'mini' bulldogs should simply look for an honest bulldog breeder first of all. A close friend of mine has been breeding for a very long time, her dogs run the gambit - from 45 pounds on up. They are VERY healthy for bulldogs (average 12 to 15 lifespan even) and beautiful. Last year we had a tiny little girl, she was not growing anywhere like her littermates. We ran every test we could to ensure there was not a health problem to cause the size difference, she was completely healthy. She is now about 27 pounds I believe, and turned a year on november 15th, 2008. Moral of the story, none of them, not even Emma, has ever been sold as a MINI bulldog. I also believe that several of these 'mini's' I have seen have way to many characteristics of French Bulldogs in character and conformation, and never forget, it can be caused by a serious health issue like a liver shunt as well. Buyer Beware, like Bulldogs weren't difficult enough before?
