All Dog Breeds >>History of Miniature Bull Terrier
When the Standard breed was first created in 19th century England, it was about the same size as Miniature Bull Terriers. Crossbreeding with Pointers increased the size so it was an optimal fighting size. Miniature Bull Terriers were granted membership in the American Kennel Club (AKC) in May 14, 1991 (effective January 1, 1992).
