Bull Terrier

Among the most comical and mischievous citizens of dogdom, the Bull Terrier is playful and endearing, sometimes stubborn, but always devoted. Standing at about 20 inches tall and weighing around 60 pounds, these unique 'eggheads' are exuberant, muscular companions who thrive on affection and exercise. Bull Terriers are robust, big-boned terriers who move with a jaunty stride suggesting agility and power. The breed's hallmark is a long, egg-shaped head with erect, pointed ears, and small, triangular eyes that glisten with good humor. Their smooth, straight coats can be white or any other color, often featuring attractive brindle striping. A well-made Bull Terrier is the picture of muscular determination and balance. There are four keys to Bull Terrier happiness: early socialization with dogs and people; firm but loving training; ample exercise; and lots of quality time with his adored humans. With a lifespan of around 13 years, Bull Terriers make loyal, lovable, and entertaining companions when their needs are met. Despite their moderate adaptability and training ease, they are happiest in active households where they can channel their playful energy. Friendly to strangers and brimming with personality, Bull Terriers are the ultimate 'personality breed,' bringing endless joy and amusement to their families.
