START TO KNOW

Group: Terrier Weight: male: 55-65, female: 45-55 lbs Height: 21-22 inches

Bull Terriers are a cross between the Bulldog and the Old English Terrier - they also have a bit of Spanish Pointer in their bloodline. This breed of dogs first originated in 1830 to attack bull in this sport of combat. They were then soon replaced in 1850 with the White Cavalier. Since then they have been used for many different things. Bull Terriers have been used guard dogs, as ratters, as herders and as watchdogs. They do extremely well in all these activities.

The Bull Terrier is a very energetic breed - but they can also be very lazy and quiet at the same time. They are very muscular and well-built dogs. They have a sweet nature and can be very loving. This dog requires an experienced owner as they can become overriding without the right tuition and socialization. The Bull Terrier is a very gracious breed that is naturally submissive; however they do need extensive training and require a great deal of company.
