Breed Description

Bull Terriers are friendly and outgoing, they enjoy nothing more than clowning and are a joy to have as pets. Bull Terriers should not be considered as a first time dog, they have incredible strength along with superb intelligence. Bull Terries can be fun and playful and like to be kept active, this is a must for both mind and body. They are placid with other dogs and very rarely will attack another. Bull Terriers are great family dogs and love children and with their natural tolerance to pain they are much less likely to take a defensive snap. Please be aware however that if a Bull Terrier pup is left unsupervised with a small child inadvertent injuries are possible as children may be regarded as playmates. Bull Terriers as a rule are very protective of children in their care, this should not be confused with the mind-set of a guard dog. Bull Terriers will defend there ?pack? if required however, their fondness of people lets them down in being regarded as a guard dog breed.
