Miniature Bull Terrier Health

Ask your dog's breeder for the results of health tests performed on both sire and dam, and results on the puppy itself for heart and kidney issues, deafness, luxating patellas, and primary lens luxation. Puppies can be susceptible to sudden lameness, so care should be exercised to limit some of their activities. The Miniature Bull Terrier Club of America requires breeder-members to test all breeding stock and puppies. Any responsible breeder should belong to the breed club and adhere to their rules.

About the Miniature Bull Terrier

In most every way the Miniature Bull Terrier is a Bull Terrier, only smaller. These upbeat, mischievous dogs come equipped with terrier fire and fearlessness. If ever a dog could claim the title 'Clown Prince of Dogdom,' it's the Mini.

Like the class clown or an adorable toddler, the Miniature Bull Terrier is full of mischief and high spirits. With square bodies and egg-shaped heads, no other breed looks quite like it. These small, muscular terriers are strong, active, fearless, and endlessly entertaining. As fun as he is, it's not a good idea to let your Miniature Bull Terrier puppy get away with too many high jinxes. He'll be at his absolute best with early socialization and patient training; you couldn't ask for a more amusing companion.
