Bull Terrier

Bull Terrier

This dog is playful yet stubborn. It is affectionate and devoted but may be wary towards other animals and should be socialized from an early age.

Breed Overview

This goofy little bully originated in England in the 1800s. This comedic dog has been known to get along famously with people and more recently the breed became bred for appearance and shows. This high-energy terrier is sweet, gentle, playful, and silly thus doing famously with children and makes a great family pet. They should not be left alone for long bouts of time as these social creatures need lots of love and attention.
