Very much like the larger bull terrier, the mini is every bit as tough as the larger version, they are not a lap dog.
Developed in England the Bull Terrier was developed from a variety of breeds. Originally bred for 'Bloodsports', such as 'Bull Baiting','Pit Fighting' and 'Rat Killing'.
Their courage was proverbial, endurance and resistance to pain unbelievable, and their intelligence was almost uncanny, these virtues, which we admire in both humans and animals, made them great fighters.
They have a sense of humor, imagination and lots of determination. Their individuality is unique. They can be stubborn, but are amenable to discipline. They are not a breed suited for everyone, they enjoy the family environment, they crave for human companionship, especially from their own family. These qualities make them not only reliable with children, (under supervision ) but also a companion and protector who can be depended on.
When properly trained and in good hands they are usually sweet natured, gentle and playful.

Grooming- easy breed to groom, their shorthaired coats can be groomed using a rubber-grooming mitt once of twice a week
