They have a shiny, smooth, short coat which can be white, cream, tan, brown, black, or gray. In general, they tend to look more like their pit bull than their terrier parent, in part because this is something that breeders try to encourage. This is good news as it means that they are less fragile and prone to accidents. The miniature pitbull also tends to be more muscular and sturdy than other miniature and toy breeds. This is more than twice the size of most “teacup dogs,” which may weigh 4-7 pounds, but is still extremely small for a pit bull-type breed.
If they grow any larger than this they aren’t considered a miniature or pocket pitbull, but simply a pit bull mix. When they are brought together in the pocket pitbull, they produce a fairly diminutive dog, measuring between 12 and 16 inches and weighing between 11 and 22 pounds. Patterdale terriers are significantly smaller, measuring just 12-15 inches and only weighing up to about 13 pounds. Pit bulls are generally pretty big and muscular dogs, measuring between 18 and 21 inches and weighing as much as 60 pounds. They look a lot like a miniature version of the pit bull, making them an ideal dog to cross with the American pit bull terrier to create the pocket pitbull. They are small dogs measuring only between 12 and 15 inches, bred for hunting rats, foxes, and other vermin. Patterdale terriers were also bred in England in the 18th century to be versatile dogs able to resist the colder temperatures in the north of the country. They were imported to the United States in the 1870s. There are actually three types of dogs that are considered “pit bulls.” There is the American pit bull terrier, which is recognized by the American Dog Breeder’s Association and the United Kennel Club, there is the American Staffordshire terrier, recognized by the American Kennel Club, and finally, there is the Staffordshire bull terrier, recognized by both the American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club.Īll of these dogs descend in one way or another from British bull and terrier dogs that were cross-bred in the 19th century for bull-baiting and fighting.
They are a cross between the American pit bull terrier and the Patterdale terrier. Pocket Pitbulls or miniature pit bulls are mixed breed dogs that started to appear in the 1990s when many new “designer” mixed breeds emerged.
