What is a micro bully Pitbull?

Answered by Tom Adger

Micro Bully Pitbulls are a specific type of dog that are typically a mix of the Pocket Pitbull and the Patterdale Terrier, or sometimes other small terrier breeds. These dogs are bred to be smaller in size and height compared to traditional Pitbulls. However, it is important to note that not all breeders are transparent about their breeding practices, and some may also incorporate English and French Bulldogs into the mix to further reduce the size and height of the Micro Bully.

The breeding of Micro Bully Pitbulls is a controversial topic within the dog breeding community. While some breeders claim that they are working towards creating a new breed with specific characteristics, others argue that these dogs are simply a result of mixed breeding without a clear standard or purpose.

One of the main motivations for breeding Micro Bully Pitbulls is to produce dogs that are smaller and more compact than their larger counterparts. This size reduction is often achieved by selectively breeding smaller individuals from the parent breeds. By combining the genetics of the Pocket Pitbull and the Patterdale Terrier, breeders aim to create a dog with the desired size and temperament traits.

However, it is important to consider the potential health implications of breeding dogs to be extremely small. The introduction of English and French Bulldogs into the mix may further exacerbate these concerns. Both of these breeds are known for their brachycephalic (short-nosed) features, which can lead to respiratory issues and other health problems.

It is worth noting that the term “Micro Bully” is not recognized by major kennel clubs or breed registries. These dogs are often marketed under different names such as “Pocket Pitbull” or “Miniature Pitbull.” Due to the lack of standardized breeding practices and recognition, there can be significant variation in the appearance and temperament of Micro Bullies.

When considering adding a Micro Bully Pitbull to your family, it is important to research and find a reputable breeder who prioritizes the health and well-being of their dogs. Responsible breeders will provide appropriate health clearances and be transparent about the breeding practices used to produce these dogs.

Micro Bully Pitbulls are a specific type of dog that is bred to be smaller in size and height compared to traditional Pitbulls. However, the breeding practices and health implications associated with these dogs can vary significantly. It is important for potential owners to do their research, ask questions, and ensure they are working with a reputable breeder who prioritizes the health and well-being of their dogs.
