What is the difference between a Mini Bull Terrier and a normal one?
According to a common misbelief, Bull Terriers and Mini Bull Terriers are two separate breeds, but this is false. These two are actually the same breed, it just has two varieties. These kinds of bre
eds, which have a miniature and a normal size version usually have some little differences in the way they look, for example, the miniatures ones’ heads are usually more round, their stops are usually stronger, they are more pop-eyed and their jaws are sharper. These differences don’t exist between the normal and miniature sized Bull Terriers.
The Mini Bull Terrier can be 35,5 cm high as a maximum, whereas for most breeds, the limit for miniatures is 30 cm.
As breeders in the 19th century crossbred the miniature and normal Bull Terriers, the genetics are not fixed. This means, that even 2 normal sized Bull Terriers could have a miniature sized puppy, or the opposite way, which meant a great challenge for breeders in the 1960’s.
