The toy bulldog is an extinct unrecognised breed of small bulldog that existed in England during the 18th and early 19th centuries.

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.
