General Appearance & Size,

The Miniature Bull Terrier must be
strongly built symmetrical and active, with a keen, determined and
intelligent expression. He should be full of fire, having a courageous,
even temperament and be amenable to discipline. |

General Appearance
 |
"A scaled down version
of the Bull Terrier," maintaining the physical and temperamental
qualities of the standard size In a more compact convenient size.
Strongly built, ample muscle and bone, well sprung
ribs and deep brisket symmetrical and active, with a keen, determined
and intelligent expression are key components of this breed also
referred to some as the "little clown." |
| Size,
Proportion, Substance
Height 10 inches to 14 inches. Dogs outside these
limits should be faulted. Weight in proportion to height.
In proportion, the Miniature Bull Terrier should
give the appearance of being square. |
The
materials, photos, and illustrations were developed and approved by a
committee appointed by the MBTCA. Special thanks to Donly Chorn, Marilyn
Drewes, Dennis Harris, Patti Holt and Trudy Pizer for their
contributions, insights and devotion to the breed The illustrations were
created by multi-group judge Stephen J. Hubbell |

This is a "Miniature Bull Terrier."
Height measurement of 10 inches to 14 inches reflects the concept of a
miniature of the original breed, not a toy or just a small standard. The
miniature is a distinct breed unto itself.
The Square proportion refers to the
measurement of sternum to buttocks as compared to withers to ground. The
breed should be of sturdy build in proportion to the size, not too fine
of bone or too heavy boned |
