Bull Terrier Miniature

Deafness is the most common health problem within the breed, most frequently encountered in white Bull Terriers. Dogs can be tested for deafness from a young age. Inherited kidney problems, and heart problems can occur, and skin disorders arise relatively frequently.

About one hour's exercise per day is required, though the Mini Bull Terrier is capable of much more if you can offer it.

Your dog's diet needs to have the right balance of all the main nutrient groups including a constant supply of fresh water. It's also important to conduct regular body condition scores to ensure you keep your dog in ideal shape and remember to feed him at least twice daily and in accordance with the feeding guidelines of his particular food.

The short coat is harsh-textured and glossy. A softer undercoat can be present in the winter months. Coat care is minimal – just a quick brush through once a week at most. When the coat sheds, however, you might want to increase this to two or three times a week, to remove the dead coat and prevent it going on your carpet, clothing and furnishings!

While many dogs are traditionally thought of as being good with children , all dogs and children need to be taught to get on with and respect each other, and be safe together. Even so, dogs and young children should never be left alone together and adults should supervise all interactions between them.
