| Origin |
Originating in England during
the 1830s, the Bull Terrier was bred for dog fighting. They were created
by crossing the Old English Terrier and Bulldog. Although they are a very
muscular and strong, they were not considered ideal fighters. Gradually
they became more of a companion dog and were used for such things as guarddogs,
watchdogs and hunting. |
| Description |
This intelligent, happy, playful
dog loves to learn and please their master. They are loyal and protective
of their family and territory. They are relatively easy to train. They
require lots of attention and do best when not left alone all day. Because
they can be territorial and protective, they might be aggressive with
other dogs and pets especially those that they are not socialized with
from puppyhood. They are not recommended for homes with small children
or children who would mistreat them. They are very active dogs that need
active families that will give them plenty of exercise and play. The Bull
Terrier is not meant to be indoors all day and is not considered a lap
dog. They love to do tricks for their families and love to be the star
of the show. |
| Health |
Overall good health. Problems
with hip dysplasia, deafness, eye problems, OCD, high levels of testosterone
in males, and zinc deficiencies that should be monitored. |
