Miniatures want to please you! The full-size wants you to please it.
Once the breeder?s full size finally caught a pickup by the wheel. Knocked him into the middle of next week and with persistent scolding stopped trying to chase cars and trucks. But, at the airport as soon as the car door opened, the full-size jumped out and ran in front of an airplane ready to start engines while the Miniature waited for permission to exit the car.
Health, Behavior, Loyalty and Obedience are bigger differences than Size between the Full- size and the Miniature!
Both Miniature and the full size want to go with you, but in the vehicle and when you get there with the full size you have a two year old on your hands often with the ?terrible two?s?. He wants it his way.
So, the breeder learned; he opens the pickup truck door and the full-size jumps in and still rides for hours in the shade with the window down for air-Loves it!
Then he sneaks out with a Miniature and gets out a BMW 650 Funduro motorcycle, puts goggles on the pup to keep the bugs out of the eyes, like everyone else. ?Sits square in the saddle,? pulls the Miniature into position on the seat in front with paws on the tank and ?rides off into the sunset.? Arriving at the airport, there is not a worry that the Miniature will try to catch an airplane by the propeller. Although Buster Buddy (on the site) did kind of get into trouble at the airport for licking the face and neck of a poor, innocent mechanic who was lying down working on an aircraft brake. So, poor Buster Buddy got banned from the airport except for special occasions like taking a Miniature to meet its new parents.
Nothing can replace the full-size stubborn, independent, highly intelligent, manipulative Ol? Slobber mouth?when you can verify a healthy one. And, full size Bulldogd?em purists are indignant about the Miniatures. If you have a big one and a Miniature both, you can really appreciate the difference and enjoy them both for what they are. If the full size doesn?t last long enough, you and your Miniature will have each other to help one another through the grief stages over the Ol? Slobber mouth. It is better to get another pup before the old one goes. (Sad to now report: the full size, a healthy one, got out while the breeder was recovering from surgery, ran under another pickup wanting a ride and died.)
