Bull Terrier (Miniature)
|
Description
A smaller version of the standard Bull Terrier. The strongly built, square-bodied miniature bull terrier is known for its distinctive egg-shaped head. The coat is short, flat, and harsh to the touch, with a fine gloss. It can be any color, the most common being white or brindle. Height: 10-14 inches (25-36cm.) Weight: 25-35 lbs. (11-16kg.)
Miniature bull terriers are energetic, courageous, and strong-willed companions that require early obedience training. They love children but may be suspicious of strangers. Most get along with other animals if exposed to them at an early age. They are happy as long as they are exercised, played with, and included in family activities. If isolated, however, these dogs will develop behavioral problems. They are as sweet and spunky as the standard bull terrier but smaller, making them a good choice for city or apartment dwellers who have time to enjoy and exercise their dogs.
