I hope this article will help you decide whether the Miniature Bullterrier is the best breed for you.

There are some facts we have to take into account when deciding to have a mini-sized dog. Most people think that miniature breeds are perfect for children, whereas it’s exactly the contrary. Both the dog and the child can be harmful for the other one: very young children are not aware of how far they can go with dogs, and this can turn into torturing them. On the other hand, smaller breeds tend to be less calm than bigger ones. Mini dogs are more recommended to families with not very young children.

Another thing we have to consider is that small breeds are a bigger challenge for veterinarians. Also, toy-sized dogs usually have no extra weight to loose and can dehydrate faster than bigger breeds, so they need more attention.

All that is to say: if you plan to have a mini-sized breed, make sure you have the extra time and attention to give.

• Can socialization training be given and constantly followed? These dogs tend to be aggressive with people and even other animals if not taught to be around them for some time while they are young.
• Can one have the patience to train them? Due to their independent minds, they are no pushovers and will do what they want to do unless disciplined.

Miniature Bull Terriers are a popular breed and many people seem to be jumping at the chance to buy one. But there are some things a prospective buyer should consider. First look at the price: these dogs definitely aren’t a dime a dozen. They come with a hefty price tag of $2,500 considering that they are only 150 born annually in the US.

They have small litters and irregular heat cycles which may be a challenge if breeding is the plan. But for the benefit of the dog, there are health concerns: they do not have “typical” hearts and need an echocardiogram at least once a year. PLL or Primary Lens Luxation will need surgery to save their sight. Laryngeal Paralysis can cause them to suffocate and is difficult to diagnose and detect. Deafness is also something common that can affect this breed.  These concerns must be seriously thought through before committing to getting a Miniature Bull Terrier.

Miniature Bull Terriers are known to be stubborn and courageous little dogs! However, they are also little clowns that love to play and are outgoing and happy chappies as well! They don’t seem to realize their own size however, which is a common trait in little dogs with assertive temperaments. Even when confronting an enormous dog they will not back down. They will never admit being smaller! With the right training, confrontations can be avoided of course. This characteristic does not change in the Miniatures. Some people may think that Miniature Bull Terriers are practically a different dog breed to the Bull Terriers of the original size. This is not the case. One must realize and accept the fact that they are the same dogs, except smaller than the normal sized ones. They are very energetic and playful dogs. They love people, and children as well. However, often they don’t get along with other pets. They are variable around other dogs, and young children must be warned to treat them carefully since they are unaware of their own strength, albeit their small size and loving temperament towards children.
