Miniature Bull Terrier Health

The Miniature Bull Terrier is a relatively healthy breed, however, as with all dogs, there are known inherited conditions which we need to be aware of in order to help safeguard the health of the breed. We do ask that people report any serious health conditions to the Breed Health Co-ordinator, in order for a record of problems to be collated and compared yearly which may help us pinpoint any new issues arising and assist us in keeping track of health problems. The main conditions which currently affect the breed and for which we test are as follows

More detailed information on the above problems can be provided, please contact the Health Coordinator for further information, support or advice
