Developed in England the Bull
Terrier was developed from a variety of breeds. Originally bred
for 'Bloodsports', such as 'Bull Baiting','Pit Fighting' and 'Rat
Killing'.
Their courage was proverbial, endurance and resistance to pain unbelievable,
and their intelligence was almost uncanny, these virtues, which
we admire in both humans and animals, made them great fighters.
They have a sense of humor, imagination and lots of determination.
Their individuality is unique. They can be stubborn, but are amenable
to discipline. They are not a breed suited for everyone, they enjoy
the family environment, they crave for human companionship, especially
from their own family. These qualities make them not only reliable
with children, (under supervision ) but also a companion and protector
who can be depended on.
When properly trained and in good hands they are usually sweet natured,
gentle and playful.
Grooming-
easy breed to groom, their shorthaired coats can be groomed using
a rubber-grooming mitt once of twice a week
Exercise-
active breed that require a fair amount of exercise, both free running
and long walks
Health-
This breed is generally hardy but have pups checked for deafness.
Some dogs can suffer from obsessive-compulsive behaviours, such
as tail chasing or rock pushing.
