rugby players, but deep down they are sweet, dependable, gentle and downright
silly at times. They have a good-natured tirelessness with kids, and they love

<b>What They Are Like to Live With</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Protective and devoted, Bull Terriers can sense a threat to
the family a mile away. But they still have a gentle and mannerly way with
visitors. Properly trained, they can easily tell the difference between friend
and foe. Bullies have a great deal of energy. They appreciate indoor
and outdoor games and “tasks” that keep them mentally sharp. They also make
excellent hiking companions and jogging partners.

<b>Things You Should Know</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bull Terriers should not be left alone for long periods of
time. A neglected Bull Terrier can easily become flustered or depressed. They
need lots of one-on-one attention, love, positive feedback and family time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Luckily for city dwellers, Bull Terriers don’t require loads
of exercise. They can easily adjust to apartment living as long as they get
nice daily walks through the neighborhood. Remember to always keep them on a
leash—they have been known to chase a squirrel or two.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;">A healthy Bull Terrier can live as long as 12 years. Though
quite healthy, some Bullies can be born deaf. They also tend to gain weight
easily. Instead of feeding them big meals, try to serve small portions
throughout the day. Also keep in mind that Bull Terriers have sensitive joints
during puppyhood. It’s important to handle them and play with them delicately
as their bodies mature.</span></span></div>

<b>The Look of a Bull Terrier</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bull Terriers have thick, sturdy and muscular frames covered
in thin, shiny and coarse coats. They can come almost any color—with or without
white patches. Their long, oval-shaped heads are unique: flat-topped and
sloping down to their black noses. They have dark, small, sunken eyes that are
narrowly set. Their ears are thin, open and erect. They have lean, muscular
necks, deep chests and big-boned legs. Their short, tapered tails usually point
straight out. Overall, they carry themselves in a hardy and alert way.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Overview</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you remember the late 1980s, you probably recall the
Budweiser commercials featuring a Bull Terrier named Spuds Mackenzie, whose sly
grin and on-screen antics turned the breed into a pop icon. Many people were
captivated by the breed's unique head, muscular build, and fun-loving nature.
After the ads aired, the Bull Terrier's popularity soared.</div>

Nicknamed "the kid in a dog suit," the Bull
Terrier is active and friendly, as well as being one of the clowns of the dog
world. He has a larger-than-life personality that ranges from intelligent and
innovative — not always the most desirable qualities in a dog — to placid and
loyal. He also comes in a smaller version — the Miniature Bull Terrier — who
shares the same attributes.</div>

Life with a Bull Terrier is always an experience. He's a
"busy" dog from puppyhood well into middle age. The Bull Terrier
isn't content to spend long periods alone day after day; he wants to be with
his people, doing what they're doing. He does best with an active family who
can provide him with plenty of energetic play. He also needs someone who will
consistently (but kindly) enforce the house rules. Otherwise, he'll make up
rules of his own. For that reason, he's not the best choice for timid owners or
people who are new to dogs.<br />

Like most terriers, Bull Terriers (unneutered males in
particular) can be aggressive toward other animals, especially other dogs. To
be well-behaved around other canines, they need early socialization: positive,
supervised exposure to other dogs that begins in early puppyhood and continues
throughout life. Cats and other furry animals who enter their territory should
beware.<br />

Because they can be rambunctious, Bull Terriers aren't

tireless playmates. They enjoy vigorous daily exercise and can be highly
destructive if they're bored. <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Successfully training a Bull Terrier calls for

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bull Terrier is known as the "three-year-old child
in a dog suit." These dogs are active, happy, clownish, and extremely
attached to their owners and family. They love people unconditionally, and are
friendly, sweet, and fun-loving. They are cuddly, and will try to curl up in
your lap, even though they don't really fit. When you cuddle them, they have a
sort of snort-purr that Bull Terrier parents find irresistible. While they are
incredibly charming, they are also stubborn and conniving. They certainly think
for themselves. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You will need to obedience train your Bull Terrier, because
they are a strong dog, both physically and mentally, and you do not want to end
up wrestling your Bull Terrier for control. They are very high energy and
highly active and they need lots and lots (and lots) of exercise. A bored Bull
Terrier will search, chew, and destroy. They can chew through a bulletproof
vest. The Bull Terrier can be difficult to housetrain. They love children, but their
rough and tumble style of play can easily flatten a young child. They like to
join in the family fun and are tireless playmates, chasing balls for hours.
They seem to thrive on your laughter and they will certainly get you chuckling
with their antics.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When they walk under something that tickles their back, such
as a tablecloth, or a bush, their eyes will glaze over and they will slow their
walk down, and look like they are sleepwalking. They also practice something
called "hucklebutting." The dog will take off at full speed and
sprint all over the house, through table legs, around corners, as fast as they
possibly can. Sometimes they run into walls, but this doesn't slow them down.
They will also play chicken and run right at you as fast as they can, swerving
to miss you at the last second. If you lose your nerve and step to the side,
you could be seriously injured! They can do well with other animals, but are
often aggressive toward same-sex dogs. They also have a prey instinct and often
chase small animals. They can also be food aggressive. They make good watch
dogs and have natural guard dog instincts. You will need to train a Bull
Terrier to ensure that his natural instincts don't turn into aggression. </div>

So, if you like to laugh and are the easy-going type, you
are sure to love the independent, energetic, challenging, and sometimes
downright silly Bull Terrier. Just be aware that they act like a puppy, with a
puppy's energy level, until they're about three years old. And if you put a
coat on him in the wintertime, he will probably eat it.<br />

Never one to take a backseat to anyone or anything, the Bull

absolutely not normal.</div>

Bull Terriers and Mini Bull Terriers are described as
courageous and full of fire. These are good traits, but they can veer into the
disagreeable category if the Bull Terrier is allowed to become possessive or
jealous. Without early training and socialization — exposure to dogs and other
animals — they can be potentially aggressive toward other animals.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With people, though, they have a sweet disposition. On the
downside, they can be chewers, barkers, and tail chasers, and are often
difficult to housetrain.</div>

<b>House Training</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your puppy should live in the house with the family, but
should have his own bed in the kitchen, where it is warm and out of draughts.
Right from the start, take endless trouble to see he doesn’t make any pools in
the house during the day. After each meal and as soon as he wakes after a
sleep, or is wandering round looking worried, pop him outside, if possible take
him to more or less the same place each time, and when he is clean, praise him,
always using the same words. It is too much to expect a very young puppy to be
clean all night, so put a thick layer of newspaper near the back door; the
puppy will eventually use this. If he has, just pick it all up and ignore it,
but if he has been clean, make a lot of fuss of him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Never scold or punish a puppy for being dirty, it will only
worry and confuse him and so make matters worse. Always let him out last thing
at night and very first thing in the morning, go and let him out the moment
there are movements or sounds to waken him. Don’t let him have the run of the
house by himself until he is reliable, but if he does have any accident,
disinfect the place really well because if there is the trace of a smell, the
pup will more than likely think this is the proper place to make a pool. If you
are able to have a really good kennel and run, with heat for winter and shade
for the summer, it is ideal for a puppy over four months to spend an hour or
two each day in it to enjoy a marrow bone or a peaceful sleep, especially if
yours is a busy household. Rest is very important for your puppy.<br />

Teach your puppy to stand quietly on a table to be groomed
and examined. This will be a great help if he has to be looked at by a
veterinary surgeon, or treated for minor ailments. Let him meet as many people
and good-tempered dogs as possible. He should wear a light leather collar for a
short time each day; when he is used to this, attach to it a short cord or thin
lead and let this trail for a few minutes while you play with him. Some puppies
learn to walk on a lead with no trouble at all after one or two lessons, but
with others care and patience and a certain amount of firmness are needed.<br />
<br />
I
think it is important to have a puppy trained to a lead at an early age,
because all forms of training should be done on a lead, especially stopping him
from jumping up at strangers and generally getting too tough. Don’t let any bad
habits start; it is so much easier to train good behaviour than correct bad.
Use a double chain, leather or nylon, check collar, the kind that will not pull
too tight.</div>

<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Most Bull Terriers love riding in a car, but until you are
sure he is not going to be car-sick, take him for very short rides in company
with another dog or passenger, to a wood or a field where he can have a romp.
Don’t take him soon after he has been fed. If he is sick, or if you want him to
behave well when left alone in your car, let him spend short periods in it at
home, where you can watch to see that he is quite happy and not chewing
anything. It is a good idea to leave a marrowbone with him if he is inclined to
be destructive.</b></span></div>

An excitable puppy needs very slow, quite handling
and a quite one the reverse. Serious obedience should not be expected until the
pup is about six months, but at four months or a little before, he can be
taught to Sit, Down and Stay, as it is much easier to put them into these
positions when they are small. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Get him used to walking on the lead without
pulling and gradually take him where there is traffic, but give him plenty of
free running in the woods or fields. Only call him when necessary, but each
time he comes of his own accord, give lots of praise, a titbit, or a little
game (a favourite toy, ball or choc-drop, etc., carried in your pocket can work
wonders in keeping your dog’s interest in you when out for a walk). Never chase
or grab at him if he won’t come when called, rather run in the opposite
direction or hide. Don’t just go on calling, or he will soon completely
disregard your voice.<br />

with me, but I am a great believer in avoiding situations which cause fear,
possessiveness or aggression, until I have a dogs affection and confidence, and
know I can control him, but on the other hand there is no question of who wins,
dog or me, it must always be me.<br />

<b>Training Your Puppy to Show</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can teach your puppy to show from a very early age,
providing you always make it fun and don’t do much of it, I think the best
Showmen are those who really love it. I don’t care to see one who just stands
in a rather wooden way, with his eyes fixed on his handler.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Play with your puppy first, either indoors, or outside, talk
to him and get him to look at you whilst standing well, then give him a titbit
or ball to play with. Teach him to walk on a loose lead, in a circle and up and
down, different distances (you may be judged in a small or large ring). When he
will do this at home on his own, make him do it when you have visitors and
other distractions. Then outside in a park, recreation ground or a fairly busy
place.<br />

Bull Terriers are a wonderful dog breed. However, it’s
important that you train them properly; otherwise you may be facing behavioral
problems down the road. This breed has lots of energy, and it’s easy for them
to get into trouble.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Training your puppy has numerous benefits. Not only will it
help the two of you develop a strong bond, but it will ensure that she leads a
healthy, happy life as well. Training your puppy should also be a fun and
rewarding experience for the two of you, so keep things positive. Bull Terriers
are a smart and active breed, and they love to learn new things. Following are
7 helpful tips for Bull Terrier training.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1. Pack Leader:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bull Terriers are hard-wired to follow a pack leader, so
this is the role that you must assume. In order for your puppy to grow into a
healthy and well-balanced dog, you must be consistent and demonstrate
leadership from the beginning.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

7 Critical Steps for Bull Terrier Training 7 Critical Steps
for Bull Terrier TrainingMost Bull Terriers are fairly easily house trained
within their first few months; however, there are bound to be a few accidents,
so be forgiving when this happens and most importantly, stay consistent while
training your puppy!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first thing to do each and every morning after your
puppy wakes up is to take her straight from her den to her appropriate area and
wait for her to go. This may take a little while – so be patient. After your
puppy has success, reward the good behavior with plenty of praise to let her
know what a good job she did. Dogs learn very early not to eliminate in their
den, so use your puppies crate to your advantage.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Throughout the day, you should take your puppy to her spot
every few hours, and every time she has success reward her with lots of praise.
Your puppy will respond well to the positive attention.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When your puppy has an accident, don’t punish her or do
anything negative. Instead, stay calm and quietly take her to the appropriate
area that you want her to use.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>3. Direction:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When your dog is doing something that you don’t want her to
do, instead of simply telling her “no,” tell her what you want her to do. Dogs
are not very good at generalizing, so if you tell them no for jumping on
someone to say hello, they may jump higher or do something else. A better
alternative is to give her some direction by telling her to “sit” instead.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>4. Consistency:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Consistency is the key, so it’s important that everyone in
the family is on the same page when it comes to training your puppy. If you
tell her not to get on the couch, but another family member allows it, she will
never know what you really want.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>5. Rewards:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Never reward your puppy for behaving poorly. For example, if
she whines and barks to be let out of her den and you give in, she will learn
the whining and barking will get her what she wants. Wait until she remains
quiet for several minutes before you let her out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>6. Positivity:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dogs respond very well to positive reinforcement and very
poorly to negative. Always give your puppy praise for a job well-done and
ignore her mistakes. Things take time to learn, so keep practicing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>7. Freedom:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Allow you new puppy to gradually earn freedom around your
home. If she has too much space to roam about, it’s much easier for her to have
an accident or get into trouble. So use gates to section off parts of the house
and keep doors closed to rooms.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Remember that Bull Terrier training takes patience, so stay
consistent, keep things positive, and have fun as your puppy develops into a
well-balanced, happy dog.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Grooming</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You should groom your dog as often as possible. A brush
after exercise is all that is required coat-wise. Grooming helps to remove
dust, mud and any loose hair. Even white coats shine with health when regularly
brushed or rubbed-down with a soft cloth.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grooming also provides an opportunity to check nails, ears,
eyes and teeth, and to deal with any problems as soon as they appear. It is an
advantage to familiarise your puppy to having its nails clipped, so that in
later life it does not become a three-man task to clip the nail of a wriggling
Bull Terrier.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Bull terriers are generally healthy, but like any breed,
they can have health issues. Reputable breeders provide health certifications
for a puppy's parents.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In Bull Terriers, you should expect to see the results of
BAER hearing tests for white Bull Terriers, health clearances from the
Orthopedic Foundation for Animals for the heart and thyroid, and UP:UC ratios
for kidney function.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because some health problems don't appear until a dog
reaches full maturity, health clearances aren't issued to dogs younger than two
years old. Look for a breeder who doesn't breed her dogs until they're two or
three years old.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">The following problems may occur in the breed:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hereditary
Nephritis is a severe form of kidney disease found in Bull Terriers, often at
an early age. It's caused by small and undeveloped kidneys or a malfunction of
the kidney's filters, resulting in high levels of protein in the urine. Bull
Terriers with this disease usually die before they're three years old, although
some live to be 6 or 8 years old before succumbing to kidney failure. A urine
protein/urine creatinine (UP:UC) test is recommended annually, starting when
dogs are 18 months old. Bull Terriers with an abnormal UP:UC ratio, meaning
there's too much protein in the urine, should not be bred. Bull Terriers can
also suffer from renal dysplasia, a congenital disease (meaning the dog is born
with it) in which the kidneys don't mature properly, hindering their ability to
perform properly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
Deafness in one or
both ears is common in white dogs, and some colored Bull Terriers can be deaf
in one ear. All Bull Terrier puppies should undergo BAER (brainstem auditory
evoked response) testing to ensure that their hearing is normal. A veterinarian
or a Bull Terrier club can help you find the nearest BAER testing facility.
Bull Terriers who are deaf in one ear can lead relatively normal lives, but
puppies that are deaf in both ears require special training techniques and
handling.<br />

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Heart Disease
caused by defects in heart structure and function is occasionally found in Bull
Terriers. Some cases are more serious than others and usually are indicated by the
presence of a heart murmur. In some cases, a cardiac ultrasound
(echocardiogram) may be necessary to diagnose the problem. Some Bull Terriers
outgrow their murmurs, some live with them for years with no problem, and
others develop heart failure. Depending on the condition and the stage at which
it's diagnosed, treatment may range from medication to surgery.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Skin Problems can
affect Bull Terriers, especially white ones, who have sensitive skin that can
be prone to rashes, sores and irritations. They may also be prone to contact or
inhalant allergies, caused by a reaction to substances such as detergents or
other chemicals or airborne allergens such as pollen, dust, and mildew. Check
your Bull Terrier's skin regularly and treat any rashes quickly. Provide soft,
clean bedding in crates and other sleeping areas to prevent sores. Sometimes a
change to a diet with few or no chemical additives can help. Other Bull
Terriers need long-term treatment with antibiotics or steroids to keep skin
problems under control.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spinning is an
obsessive form of tail-chasing that usually begins at approximately six months
of age. It can continue for hours and leave the dog with no interest in food or
water. Spinning may be a type of seizure and is sometimes successfully treated
with medications such as phenobarbitol, anafranil or Prozac. Treatment is often
more successful in females than males. Bull Terriers can also develop a milder
form of tail chasing that's easily dealt with by eliminating the dog's boredom.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lens luxation is
when the lens of the eye is displaced when the ligament holding it in place
deteriorates. It's sometimes treatable with medication or surgery, but in
severe cases the eye may need to be removed.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Care</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bull Terrier needs someone at home during the day.
Leaving a Bull Terrier to entertain himself is about as smart as leaving a
creative and intelligent child unsupervised in a room full of explosives. For
one thing, they'll eat just about anything, and many die from gastrointestinal
blockages that aren't discovered until it's too late. Rawhide toys can be
especially problematic. Bull Terrier-proof your home!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A Bull Terrier needs half an hour to an hour of physical and
mental exercise daily. He'll enjoy going for walks, chasing a ball, or testing his
wits against an interactive toy. He's also capable of competing in agility and
obedience trials. Be sure to always walk him on leash so he won't run after
other animals or go off exploring on his own.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bull Terrier puppies are bouncy and into everything.
High-impact exercise can damage growing bones, so until your puppy's full
grown, at 12 to 18 months of age, beware of bone-jarring activities such as
jumping on and off the furniture, playing Frisbee, or running on slick wood or
tile floors. These can all stress or injure the still-developing joints and
ligaments.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Early and consistent training is essential. You must be able
to provide leadership without resorting to physical force or harsh words. A
Bull Terrier isn't the easiest breed to train, and you'll be most successful if
you appeal to his love of play with positive reinforcement techniques while
still remaining firm and consistent in what you expect.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bull Terriers can be difficult to housetrain. Follow the
housetraining program closely; the crate method is best. A crate will also
prevent your Bull Terrier from destroying your belongings or otherwise getting
into trouble.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bull Terriers are suspicious of strangers and can be
aggressive toward other animals (especially dogs of the same sex) and people.
Take him to puppy socialization classes as early as possible, as well as to
dog-friendly public places so he can get used to many different situations,
people, and dogs. He should also learn to welcome visitors to your home.<br />

<b>Feeding</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recommended daily amount: 1 5/8 to 4 1/4 cups of a
high-quality dog food daily, divided into two meals.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How much your adult dog eats depends on his size, age,
build, metabolism, and activity level. Dogs are individuals, just like people,
and they don't all need the same amount of food. It almost goes without saying
that a highly active dog will need more than a couch potato dog. The quality of
dog food you buy also makes a difference — the better the dog food, the further
it will go toward nourishing your dog and the less of it you'll need to shake
into your dog's bowl.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Keep your Bull Terrier in good shape by measuring his food
and feeding him twice a day rather than leaving food out all the time. If
you're unsure whether he's overweight, give him the eye test and the hands-on
test. First, look down at him. You should be able to see a waist. Then place
your hands on his back, thumbs along the spine, with the fingers spread
downward. You should be able to feel but not see his ribs without having to
press hard. If you can't, he needs less food and more exercise.</div>

Coat, Color and Grooming</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bull Terrier's coat is short, flat, and shiny, with a
hard texture. Bull Terriers come in two color varieties: white and colored.
White Bull Terriers are solid white, with or without colored markings on the
head but nowhere else on the body. Colored Bull Terriers are any color other
than white or any color with white markings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bull Terriers are easy to groom; they need only weekly
brushing with a rubber mitt or curry brush. The exception is during their twice
yearly shedding season, when daily brushing will be necessary to keep all the
hair under control. Unless they've rolled in something stinky, Bull Terriers
don't need frequent bathing and can be washed with a dry shampoo or dusted off
with a damp cloth.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Other grooming needs include dental hygiene and nail care.
Brush your Bull Terrier's teeth at least two or three times a week to remove
tartar buildup and the accompanying bacteria. Daily is better. Trim his nails
once or twice a month, or as needed. If you can hear the nails clicking on the
floor, they're too long. Short nails keep the feet in good condition and don't
get caught in the carpet and tear. If the feet need to be tidied up with
trimming, the best time to do it is when you are clipping the nails.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Check the ears weekly to make sure there's no debris,
redness, or inflammation. Clean them as needed with a cotton ball and a
cleanser recommended by your dog's breeder or your veterinarian. Wipe around
the outer edge of the ear canal, and don't stick the cotton ball any deeper
than the first knuckle of your finger.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Begin getting your Bull Terrier used to being brushed and
examined when he's a puppy. Handle his paws frequently — dogs are touchy about
their feet — and look inside his mouth and ears.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Make grooming a positive experience filled with praise and
rewards, and you'll lay the groundwork for easy veterinary exams and other
handling when he's an adult.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bull Terriers and Miniature Bull Terriers are active dogs
who can play rough, so they're not recommended for homes with young children.
They're great playmates with boundless energy for active older children who
understand how to interact with dogs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bull Terriers can, however, be aggressive toward kids they
don't know, especially if there's a lot of shouting or wrestling going on. They
may feel it's their duty to protect "their" children from their
friends. Always supervise play; as with any dog, never leave a dog alone with a
child, and teach children how to approach and touch dogs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the children in their own family, they're highly
tolerant, but they don't like being teased. Don't permit your children to play
tug-of-war with the dog.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bull Terriers, especially unneutered males, can be
aggressive toward dogs of the same sex, but opposite genders usually get along
well. Bull Terriers shouldn't be trusted with cats or other small furry
animals.<br />

<b>Description</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bull Terrier is a strongly built, muscular dog. The body
is well rounded with a short, strong back. The head is long and strong,
oval-looking in shape, almost flat at the top, sloping evenly down to the nose
with no stop. The nose is black. The eyes are almond-shaped, small and
deep-set, dark in color. The ears are small, thin and close together. The long
neck is very muscular, with robust shoulders. The tail is set low and on the
short side, carried horizontally. The coat is dense, short, flat and harsh to
the touch. The AKC recognizes two color varieties, the White Bull Terrier and
the Colored Bull Terrier. The White Bull Terrier is allowed to have colored
markings on the head, but nowhere else on the body. The Colored Bull Terriers
may be black, brindle, black-brindle, red, fawn and tricolor with white
markings.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Temperament</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though this breed was once a fierce gladiator, he is much
gentler now. A Bull Terrier might have a preventive effect and it might defend
its owner in a truly critical situation, but it isn't bred to be a guard dog.
Courageous, scrappy, fun-loving, active, clownish and fearless, the Bull
Terrier is a loyal, polite, and obedient dog. They become very attached to
their owners. The Bull Terrier thrives on firm, consistent leadership and
affection and makes a fine family pet. Bull Terriers like to be doing something
and fit in well with active families where they receive a great deal of
companionship and supervision. They do not do well in situations where they are
left alone for 8 hours a day. With the right type of owner this breed is a joy
to own, but not recommended for most households. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fond of both grownups and
children, but if they do not get enough physical and mental exercise they may
be too energetic for small children. Children should be taught how to display
leadership toward the dog. Meek owners will find them to become very
protective, willful, possessive and/or jealous. Bull Terriers may try to join
into family roughhousing or quarrel. They need very firm training and lots of
exercise. Bull Terriers must be given a lot of structure, or they may become
destructive. Be sure to socialize them well and remain their pack leader 100%
of the time, otherwise, they can be extremely aggressive with other dogs.
Unaltered males may not get along with other male dogs. They are not
recommended with other non-canine pets such as rabbits, hamsters and guinea
pigs. They make excellent watch dogs. This breed can be somewhat difficult to
train.<br />

<b>Origin</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the early 1800s Bulldogs crossed with terriers were
popular. By 1830 combat between Bulldogs and bulls were at the height of their
popularity. Lovers of this so-called "sport" decided to create a dog
that would attack even more agilely. They crossed the Bulldog with the Old
English Terrier, adding in some Spanish Pointer blood; the result was the Bull
Terrier breed. They soon found that the Bull Terriers were not the most
successful fighters. In 1860 the white-coated variety, which was nicknamed the
"White Cavalier" was bred by English dog dealer James Hinks and soon
became a fashionable pet for nobles. The colored variety of Bull Terriers was
created by back-crossing them with brindle Staffordshires. The breed has been
used as a guard, ratter, herder and watchdog. The Miniature was developed to
have the same qualities as the Standard Bull Terrier but with a more manageable
size. The Standard Bull Terrier was first recognized by the AKC in 1885 and the
Miniature Bull Terrier in 1991. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
While the AKC sees the Standard Bull Terrier and the
Miniature Bull Terrier as separate breeds, the standard requirements are the
same except for size. Most other clubs see them as different varieties of the
same breed or the same breed without placing a variety label. For example, the
FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) has both breeds listed under Bull
Terrier, separating them by a Standard and Miniature variety. The UCK (United
Kennel Club) does not place any height or weight restrictions but does require
the dog to be in proportion. The Bull Terrier was recognized by the United
Kennel Club in 1948.<br />

<b>History</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bull Terrier dates to approximately 1835 and was
probably created by crossing a Bulldog with the now-extinct white English
Terrier. These "bull and terrier" dogs were later crossed with
Spanish Pointers to increase their size. They were known as gladiators for
their prowess in the dog-fighting ring.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1860, fanciers of the bull and terrier, in particular a
man named James Hinks, set about creating an all-white dog. The striking
animals became fashionable companions for gentlemen and were nicknamed
"White Cavalier" because of their courage in the dog-fighting ring
and their courtliness toward people. While they're no longer used for fighting,
white Bull Terriers still go by that sobriquet to this day, a tribute to their sweet
disposition (which of course is shared by colored Bull Terriers).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first Bull Terrier registered by the American Kennel
Club (AKC) was Nellie II in 1885. Twelve years later, in 1897, the Bull Terrier
Club of America was formed. The colored Bull Terrier was made a separate
variety in 1936, and the Miniature Bull Terrier became a separate breed in
1992.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well-known fans of Bull Terriers include General George S.
Patton, whose white Bull Terrier Willie followed him everywhere; actress
Dolores Del Rio; author John Steinbeck; and President Woodrow Wilson. One
well-known Bull Terrier is Patsy Ann, who greeted each ship that docked in
Juneau, Alaska during the 1930s. Beloved by tourists, she was photographed more
often than Rin Tin Tin, and in 1934 she was named the official greeter of
Juneau. Today, Patsy Ann's spirit lives on in a bronze statue that was
commissioned and placed on the Juneau wharf in 1992.</div>

A Bull Terrier appeared in Sheila Burnford's book "The
Incredible Journey," as well as the first film version of it, but that
film didn't have the same effect on the breed as Budweiser's 1980-era
commercials starring Bull Terrier Spuds Mackenzie. When the ad campaign aired,
the breed's popularity soared.</div>

A colored Bull Terrier made history in 2006, when Ch. Rocky Top's
Sundance Kid (Rufus to his friends) became the first colored Bull Terrier to
win Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. The only white Bull
Terrier to win the prestigious event was Ch. Haymarket Faultless in 1918. The
breed's appearance has changed quite a bit — for the better, breeders say —
since then.</div>

Today, Bull Terriers rank 61st in popularity among the
breeds and varieties registered by the American Kennel Club, up from 85th in
1996. Miniature Bull Terriers rank 129th.<br />
