Originally bred from crossing a Bulldog with an English Terrier, the Bull Terrier is an enthusiastic dog although they can be prone to bouts of stubbornness if they are unwilling to carry out an activity.
Character//
Bull Terriers are friendly and loyal, good with children and especially useful as guard and watchdogs as they are possessive and protective of their family. Easily trained.
Size//
Bull Terriers do not have any prescribed height or weight standards, all that is said is that the dog should give "the impression of maximum substance for size of dog consistent with quality and sex."
Health//
Generally healthy although apparently with a relatively high predisposition to deafness in white dogs. The Bull Terrier is also prone to allergies and skin problems.
Special Care//
Good socialization is required to develop a kind, easy-going persona; some males can exhibit aggressive dominant behaviour.
