The Miniature Bull Terrier dog breed is a "active, interested, playful, and clownish." Very close to their families, Miniature Bull Terriers have trouble being left alone for long times, particularly when they don't have full freedom of movement to run around. They often even become destructive if left home alone for long. Protective, these dogs can make good guard dogs, though they can also be possessive.
Remember that breed only provides a general clue as to any individual dog's actual behavior. Make sure to get to know dogs well before bringing them into your home.
