Interesting things about Bull Terriers

Bull Terrier also known as the GLADIATOR of the Canine Race

The Bull Terrier, with his powerful physique and distinctive, egg-shaped head, could not really be mistaken for any other breed. To many people who do not know the breed, the Bull Terrier with his Roman nose and small eyes - is just plain ugly. However, to those who love them, they are 'beautifully ugly', and have a charm all of their own. A charm, that is appreciated not only by the ordinary person in the street, but also by Royalty.

The Bull Terrier has become an alert, active, muscular and handsome dog that every 'man about town' wished to own.

Though bred from fighting lines, the Bull Terrier is a happy dog and rarely acts aggressively towards people.

Though a fearless and energetic breed, the Bull Terrier is also kind and well mannered.

The Bull Terrier is a very pleasant, eager-to-please dog.

In the sincere and yet doleful eyes of the Bull Terrier lies evidence of his immeasurable loyalty and love.

Praise and encouragement instead of punishment or scolding.
Bull Terriers are stubborn. Punishment doesn't work.

Praise and encouragement will elicit far better results than punishment or scolding. Remember that your puppy wants nothing more than to please you, thus he is anxious to learn the behavior that is required of him.

The price you pay for your dog is little compared to the love and devotion he will return over the many years he'll be with you. With proper care and affection, your pup should live to a ripe old age; thanks to modern veterinary science and improvements in canine nutrition, dogs today are better maintained and live longer. It is not uncommon to see dogs living well into their teens.

Commitment & Protection.
If you seek a dog to provide you with a high level of commitment and protection, the Bull Terrier may be the dog for you.

Bull Terrier Stories Loyalty, Protection.
I'm reading books on Bull Terriers and these stories I HAVE to share.....

1. One dog boldly revealed the murderer of his master by fierce barking to the point that the murderer, thoroughly frightened babbled a confession.

2. Another was left tending a young child on a snowy winter night and saved the child's life by preventing the fire from going out. As the fire glowed low, the dog brushed some ashes from the cool edge of the fire upon some unlighted coals that were too warm to touch. Then with his nose, he shoved the new coals into place to keep the fire going long enough for his master to return and the child to avoid frostbite or death.

3. Six month bull terrier never having ventured to swim went with his master one day to the pool. The master climbed the ladder to the diving board and dived in, disappearing beneath the surface of the water. The dog, seeing it's master swallowed up by the water, threw caution to the winds, actually clambered up the stairs to the diving board, and dove in. Landing on top of it's master, the dog seized him by the hair and pulled him out of the pool.

4. Stories of the tender affection that Bull Terriers have shown for children are legion. In one case, a Bull Terrier was guarding two small children in a downstairs den which faced out on the backyard through a glass door. A rug caught fire, filling the room with smoke. The Bull Terrier, with a powerful thrust of his hind legs, shoved a chair through the glass door to ventilate the room and then grabbed the rug in his teeth, suffering burns himself as he yanked it away from the children. The parents, who were outside heard the commotion and rushed in to rescue the children and praise their pet.
