Pounds. The dark band is where most Chihuahua Bulldog Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 10–12 inches at the shoulder, against 5–8 in for the Chihuahua and 14–15 in for the English Bulldog. The parents differ a lot in size, so litters vary more than usual. Breeders normally use the larger breed as the mother to keep whelping safe.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low to high

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

Moderate

Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.

Trainability

Moderate

The Chihuahua rates low and the English Bulldog moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Very low to moderate

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Chihuahua is usually described as charming, graceful, sassy. The English Bulldog as friendly, courageous, calm. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
