Good
things come in small packages, and the Miniature Bull Terrier is all the fire
and clowning of its larger version seen through the reverse side of a magnifying
glass. Bred to aid their larger brothers in ratting duties, they were a great
favorite of those who preferred a smaller, more manageable house pet. At one
time, Bull Terriers ranged from as tiny as three pounds to a macho 30-plus. They
adore their owners and are excellent playmates for children, as well as being
good alarm dogs. Breeders warn owners to be careful not to leave precious or
dangerous objects lying around, since the Mini thinks any object within his
reach is fair game for lunch. Puppies are "energized" and can be
destructive if left alone.
Strong and solid, the Minis can pull owners on skateboards or cross-country
skis! They're adaptable to any lifestyle, from active to sedate, from large
families with children to a single person or an elderly couple. These dogs enjoy
being the center of attention, and will put up with a great amount of
"foolishness" from children, including being dressed in doll clothes.
All of this is often accompanied by a "Bully" smile.
This "pocket edition" of the Bull Terrier is even-tempered, but
requires a controlling hand. Owners note that physical care is a breeze.

| Energy
Level: HIGH |
| General
Nature: |
*
Courageous and fiery, called the Gladiator of the canine race. |
| |
* With
Children: Variable, entirely dependent on socialization and
behavior of the children. |
| |
* With
other pets: Not ideal as Terriers they are essentially seek and
destroy missiles. |
| |
* With
dogs: Highly variable. |
|
| Socialization
requirements: Very high. |
| Ideal
home characteristics: One that realizes this is a Bull Terrier first and a
smaller version of that as a distant second. |
| Temperament
Notes: The spunk and jauntiness of the Terrier is intact here. Wonderfully
devoted and entertaining, that very edge is what makes the Bull Terrier
and this, the Miniature version, less than ideal in many other situations. |
| Training
requirement: moderate: heavy socialization and basic manners |
| Trainer
notes: Do not get the Miniature Bull Terrier thinking that it is a small
dog and thus "won't make much of a mess" or "won't need
much training". Your first error would be in viewing the
potential based on size if you did. The Miniature Bull Terrier is a
classic example of a big (maybe even huge) dog in a small body, and they
don't know it. They will not flinch from any situation that they are
clearly unmatched for, they will indicate a level of stubbornness unknown
in the human world if they feel unfairly treated. The Miniature Bull
Terrier is easily among the best of companions but with wrong minded
expectations and/or incorrect handling they can easily be the worst. |
Miniature
Bull Terrier History
The Miniature Bull Terrier is no newcomer to the world of purebred dogs. As a
matter of fact, for over eighty years he has been highly prized as a distinctive
small dog noted, among other things, for tenacity and remarkable courage. He is
a sturdy chap, muscular, active, and full of fire but withal good tempered and
amenable to discipline.
Miniature beginnings date back to the early 19th century when the Bulldog and
the now extinct White English Terrier were interbred to produce the "Bull
and Terrier" later known as the Bull Terrier.
Possessed of such a heritage, it is small wonder that the earliest specimens
came in a wide range of sizes. There were Toys that weighed from four to seven
pounds, medium sized ones of some fifteen and sixteen pounds, as well as the
more usual sort resembling the full-sized Bull Terrier of this day. The small
dog came in various colors; some black-patched, a few blue, and others pure
white.
The Toys were exhibited abroad up to about 1914, but they elicited scant
response from the fanciers because their type was poor. Dogs of medium or
miniature size fared better since particularly in eyes and foreface they more
closely approximated the type desired. This has been exactly what the fanciers
have been aiming for, namely, a down-faced, smaller dog weighing around sixteen
pounds and identical in make and shape and every single feature to the
full-sized Bull Terrier.
The Miniature Bull Terrier became eligible to be shown in the Miscellaneous
Class in 1963, and was accepted as a breed in 1991.
F
A Q's...
| Do
mini bulls like children?
Yes... they love children, but they are a lot of dog and can knock a
small child down, mini's love to play and will nibble on children's
clothing or shoes.. and mini's love to chew and eat children's
toys. So close supervision is always recommended. |
| Do
mini bulls get along with other animals?
Mini bulls do get along with other animals if properly socialized from
a puppy, they do tend to play rough and sometimes get overly excited.
I highly recommend puppy kindergarten/dog obedience training for ALL
puppies. Once you start taking your mini to training you will
get a good feel whether he/she is going to get along well with other
dogs. Every once in a while a mini will not get along with
another dog, this can be more common with same sex of dogs...
male vs. male. Also if a dog has not been neutered he may tend
to be more dominant and dog aggressive. The best thing to
remember is that you have a Terrier.... So supervision is always
in your best interest. |
| Are
mini's good house pet?
Absolutely...Mini's
love to be in the house, they always want to be part of the family.
They love to sleep on the couch, get in your bed, and follow you
around. Mini Bull's want to be part of the family. |
| Do
mini's chew things?
Yes
they do! They love to find and chew toys, pillows, shoes, toilet
paper, remote controls, and basically anything that is of interest to
them. Most of the time it is the young puppies that get into
trouble, so by giving them lots of their "own"
toys you will find they will tend to leave things that don't belong to
them alone...Well, most of the time! Not all mini's are
chewers...But it is a common thing for most puppies. |
| Do
mini's like to swim?
Some of them love to swim... The plastic wading pools for children
work great for Mini Bull swimming pools! |
| Do
mini's do well in Apartments?
Mini's thrive fine in apartments but you will need to exercise your
mini several times a day. When mini's get bored they tend to do
naughty things... |
| Do
mini's require a fenced yard?
I
think that all dogs should live in a fenced yard. This keeps
him/her safe and prevents other dogs and animals from invading on your
dogs space. A fenced yard will also help to prevent your dog
from catching parasites, viruses or problems from other animals. |
| Do
mini's shed?
All dogs shed, just some shed more than others... Mini's shed in
the spring and it lasts about 2 weeks...A good grooming mitt or
shedding tool works wonders during this time.
