Bulldog Pictures and InformationBull Terrier Description
Not suprisingly, the Bull Terrier was first bred in the 19th century to fight bulls. Also Known AsEnglish Bull Terrier TemperamentWhile the original Bull Terriers were bred to be powerful fighters, they are now calm, and they are not as aggressive as they used to be. However, the Bull Terrier is still a dog that will fight bravely to defend those it cares about. Despite this, the Bull Terrier is not the ideal guard dog. These dogs love receiving attention, and are excellent family dogs. They thrive off companionship, and will not function well if they are left alone for long periods of time. While they are good with children, owners will want to make sure they are trained and socialized. Health ProblemsBull Terriers tend to be healthy, but may suffer from a lack of zinc, and this can cause them to die. In addition this, some Bull Terrier pups may be born deaf. Some male Bull Terriers may be highly territorial, and they may also have problems with their kneecaps. The Bull Terrier has a maximum life expectancy of about 12 years. ExerciseBull Terriers need good amounts of exercise each day. When owners take them out in the public, they will want to make sure these dogs are kept on a leash at all times, because Bull Terriers may pick fights with other dogs. If they don’t get sufficient amounts of exercise, they can become lazy. While they can live in apartments, they will do best in a small yard. Special Grooming NeedsThe Bull Terrier has a smooth coat that is easy to care for. Owners will want to brush the coat whenever it is needed. These dogs will shed standard amounts of fur, and dead hair can be removed by using a special rubber glove on the coat.
