The Miniature Bull Terrier, as its name suggests, is a miniature version of the full-sized Bull Terrier. They are known for their distinctive egg-shaped head and strong, muscular build in a compact body. To qualify as a miniature, the dog must be less than 35cms at the shoulder, and weigh between 9 and 13.5kg. Anything over this height and weight is considered a standard Bull Terrier.
These spirited and comical little dogs originate from England, where they were originally bred to be fighting dogs, and then ratters. They are tough, lively and playful little dogs who often think training is one huge game, and an opportunity to play. They can be stubborn and determined little clowns. They have a short, dense coat that requires minimal grooming. They are highly adaptable dogs and make good companions for active individuals who are prepared to give their dog ample mental stimulation and physical exercise.
Miniature Bull Terriers can suffer from a range of health conditions, and are known to have sensitive skin. They are prone to skin cancer, so use of a dog-specific sunscreen is recommended.
Most Australians can expect to pay between $20 and $60 a month for pet insurance. There are many factors that can influence the cost of pet insurance for your dog, which is why it's important to compare pet insurance policies. Factors affecting the cost of your insurance include:
