History Behind the Miniature Bull Terrier<\/h2>\n

This delightful miniature version of the Bull Terrier<\/a> is a gorgeous breed that was first recorded in 1872 in Britain. Little is actually known about their history since it is believed that bull terriers (their big cousin) were once of a similar size. When they were first recorded in the history books, interbreeding between the two was still considered normal.<\/p>\n

Over time, the bull terrier, and the miniature bull terrier, split off into two separate breeds. According to the AKC, the miniature bull terrier began life in the 1830s. Regular breeders of the bull terrier at that time decided to make a smaller version that was capable of working as a ratter. The miniature version was born, although not recorded until many years later.<\/p>\n

The miniature bull terrier is primarily a rat chasing dog. They have a high prey drive, so should not be let off the lead to run. They will chase squirrels, cats, rats, rabbits, sheep, and even the occasional horse. A miniature bull terrier does not appreciate that it is small. The AKC notes that it is a very protective and loyal breed.<\/p>\n
