Origin and history
Like its larger counterpart, the Miniature Bull Terrier originated in Great Britain. The smaller type of Bull Terrier was already known in the early 19th century.

The main distinguishing feature is the smaller size, which according to the breed standard must not exceed 35.5 cm.

The Miniature Bull Terrier’s coat is short, smooth, and shiny. A soft undercoat can form in winter. The Mini is bred in the colors white with or without spots, black tabby, red, fawn or tricolor.
Nature
