1. General Description of the Miniature Bull Terrier

   Essentially a scaled down version of its cousin, the Bull Terrier, the Miniature Bull Terrier is powerful, squarely proportioned, and big of bone without being coarse. The long, deep head curves from nose to topskull and forms an oval outline when viewed head on. Small, deep set, triangular eyes are placed close together, as are the small, erect ears. The body is strong and well muscled throughout, with a short, strong back and arch over the loin. Feet are catlike. The tail is low set and carried horizontally. The coat is glossy, short and harsh. Coloring can be pure white, white with markings on the head, or any color other than white so long as it covers more than half the coat.

2. Miniature Bull Terrier Temperament

   The Miniature Bull Terrier’s temperament is virtually identical to that of the Bull Terrier. An amiable and gentlemanly dog with plenty of imagination, the Miniature Bull Terrier loves a game or a joke, and is highly sociable. The Miniature Bull Terrier is as stubborn as a bull, and should be trained with a firm, patient attitude. The Miniature Bull Terrier is aloof and occasionally scrappy with other dogs and loves to chase small animals; friendliness toward strangers and house pets is better than most terriers. Curious and energetic, the Miniature Bull Terrier loves to dig and explore, and his constant antics are sure to keep you in stitches.

3. Caring for a Miniature Bull Terrier

   It is much better to give you Miniature Bull Terrier a good bit of exercise every day rather than having it run a Sunday marathon and locking it up in the house for the rest of the week. Easy access to a yard will help the Miniature Bull Terrier expend some energy during the day. If you live in an apartment, you should compensate for the lack of yard with longer walks. Miniature Bull Terriers should not live outside. Coat care is an afterthought, requiring little more than an occasional brushing. Some white Miniature Bull Terriers are genetically inclined toward deafness, a carryover from their Dalmatian forebears. Other things to watch out for include glaucoma and lens luxation.
