Bull terrier
Miniature bull terriers were developed by crossing a bull dog with a white English terrier, a breed now extinct. Much loved by their owners, the breed is in every way the same as the bull terrier with the exception of their size.
Disposition
The miniature bull terrier is described as energetic and clownish. They are fond of both adults and children, though they are not recommended in homes with other non-canine pets.
General Appearance
This dog is strongly built, muscular, with a sleek coat. The American Kennel Club looks for a dog with an intelligent expression with symmetrical features.
Head
The miniature bull terrier has a distinctive nose.
The head is one of the most striking characteristics of the miniature bull terrier. The muzzle is strong and extends from the forehead, ending with a black nose. The pointy ears indicate an alert curiosity.
Coat
The coat is sleek and coarse to the touch; while shedding does occur, it requires little maintenance. The skin should fit tightly over the body.
Size
The miniature bull terrier should be 10 to 14 inches at the shoulder. Weight should be proportionate with the appearance of being compact and squarish.
