The Miniature Bull Terrier is rather "egg-shaped", with a full body, muscular shoulders, and a very strong build. His head is flat on top, with a Roman muzzle, triangular eyes, and erect ears. His tall is carried horizontally.

Temperament

Miniature Bull Terriers are loving, energetic, and playful, and can be stubborn at times. They love people, and make great dogs for people with limited space. They often do not get along with other pets, and young children must be warned to treat them carefully. They are courageous, and do not seem to realize their small size. They will not back down, even when confronting an enormous dog.

Training

Miniatures do require a lot of training, particularly when young. They must be heavily socialized and trained to obey early in their lives.

Care and grooming

They also are very energetic and seem to be able to play endlessly as puppies. However, as they grow older they become less energetic. They must be carefully exercised and dieted to avoid obesity. A Miniature Bull Terrier requires very little grooming. A quick brushing once a day or a few times a week is sufficient to keep his fur in order.

Shedding

Low.

Health

Miniature Bull Terriers may inherit kidney disease, heart defects, and lens luxation. Hearing tests and kidney screening are recommended in breeding stock.
