Miniature Bull Terrier Mudi Mix History

Miniature Bull Terrier History

The Miniature Bull Terrier, also known as a mini bull has origins to a now-extinct white English Terrier and a Bulldog. Later down the line, the genetic pool crossed again with a different breed to reduce the breed’s size, which brought about the Miniature Bull Terrier.

Not only does the Miniature Bull Terrier come in a smaller size than the regular Bull Terrier, but it also comes in multiple colors which include white, black, brindle, red fawn and tricolor. They are not high maintenance so you can easily spend your time enjoying their company rather than keeping them groomed and clean.

Miniature Bull Terriers came from the standard Bull Terrier, which was created in the 19th century England, around 1835. Once Bull Terriers were no longer used for fighting, they became a calmer breed.

Officially the Miniature Bull Terrier was accepted membership in the American Kennel Club in 1991, and became its own separate breed in 1992 (previously it had been just a variation of the standard sized breed Bull Terrier).



Mudi History

The Mudi, also called a Hungarian Mudi or Canis Ovilis Fenyes, originated in Hungary in the 19th century.

Today the Mudi is considered to be a rare breed. At this point, there are less than a few thousand Mudik (the plural of Mudi) across the world. The majority of the Mudi are in Hungary with a few in Finland, and even fewer in Europe, the United States and Canada.

Mudik come in multiple colors such as black, brown, white, fawn, grey and cifra (marbling of black and gray). The Mudi is an active breed and loves to play. When inside the Mudi will enjoy its time with family and its owners; but when it goes outside, the high energy shines through.

It is believed that the Mudi naturally evolved from crosses of the Puli, Pumi and German Spitz-type breeds. Because of its distinguishing ears that prick up, the breed was then moved to be classified and registered in 1936.

Although originally the Mudi was a working dog and did mostly herding cattle as well as sheep, the Mudi is now also known for being a search and rescue dog in Finland as well as the United States.

Because there is such a small population of Mudik, it is yet to be recognized by the American Kennel Club, although the studbook for the breed is maintained by the American Kennel Club via its Foundation Stock Service, which is an optional recording service for purebreds that are not yet able to get registered with the American Kennel Club.

Miniature Bull Terrier Mudi Mix Health

All dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems as all breeds are susceptible to some things more than others. However, the one positive thing about getting a puppy is that you can avoid this as much as possible. A breeder should absolutely offer a health guarantee on puppies. If they won’t do this, then look no more and don’t consider that breeder at all. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about health problems in the breed and the incidence with which they occur. We obviously recommend that you look for a reputable animal rescue in your area to find your new mixed breed. Health clearances prove that a dog has been tested for and cleared of a particular condition.

Note that these are just common problems in both breeds.
