Miniature Bull Terrier

This sweet dog is devoted yet stubborn and independent. It needs plenty of exercise and likes to dig.

Breed Overview

Originating during the 1800s in England, these terriers were used as guard dogs, herders, and for companionship. These small dogs are much like the larger Bull Terrier in that they are playful, comical, and mischievous. Although they are small companions, they are not necessarily lap dogs. They are full of fun and energy but can also be tough and have superb watchdog skills. They enjoy playing, digging, investigating, and need daily exercise. Exercise in the form of a moderate walk to a backyard romp is plenty for these tough and fun little dogs. They are an indoor breed and are ideal for apartment and city dwellers, active individuals, and families. Coat care is very minimal for them.
