Miniature Bullterrier Puppies Blog

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 breeds, 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.

Having a Miniature Bull Terrier is like having a clown and a small bodyguard at the same time. They enjoy making people laugh with their antics and tirelessness in playing. If one is an active person with a family, this canine is recommended. These dogs have small, sturdy and muscular build with deep chests and long, oval-shaped heads with dark, small, sunken eyes that are narrowly set and thin erect ears. Coats are thin, shiny and coarse coats in almost any color, with or without white patches.  They have a goofy yet protective side. As this reflects the breed standard, then this would be a genuine purebred. There are still many guidelines in the standard so one is strongly recommended to do some reading to determine if the breeder they are visiting is a quality and responsible one.
