Miniature Bull Terrier History

The Miniature Bull Terrier (also known as a “Pittie”) is a small dog originally developed in England. The Minibull was originally bred as a ratter, but it is now a companion and terrier. The Minibull is an energetic, playful, and sociable pet that is well-suited to apartment living. The Miniature Bull Terrier is descended from the English White English Bulldog and the English White and Tan terrier. The Minibull is not actually a member of the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) or the American Staffordshire Terrier (AmStaff) “pit bull” bloodline. The APBT and AmStaff were developed from crosses between the bulldog and the pit bull, while the Miniature Bull Terrier was bred from an English Bulldog and a terrier. The history of the pitbull and bully breeds is complex and controversial. The origin of the “pit bull” is obscure and controversial, with many people believing them to be a mix of many different breeds. The Minibull has a square-shaped head, wide shoulders, a compact body, and a muscular, athletic build. The coat is short and comes in a variety of colors, including brindle, red, fawn, and white. The muzzle is usually black. The eyes are almond-shaped and may be brown or amber. The ears are set high on the head and are usually cropped. The legs are strong and the feet are round. The tail is docked.

Miniature Bull Terrier Activity Requirements

Miniature Bull Terriers are a high-energy, playful small dog that originates from the United Kingdom. They are considered a companion dog and are great for homes with older children. Because of their smaller size, Mini Bullies do not need as much exercise as other small breeds. They only need about 30 minutes of brisk walking each day. However, they still need opportunities to get outside and run and play. Mini Bullies are very active and will enjoy games of fetch or chasing balls. They also love having a place to run and explore. If you live near a park, an open field, or an area that is fenced in, a Mini Bullie will be happy as a clam.
