Bulls!


Bull Terriers are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them:

#1. "The Bull Terrier is a strongly built, muscular dog."
#2. "The body is well round with a short strong back."
#3. "The nose is black."
#4. "The eyes are almond-shaped, small and deep-set, dark in color."
#5. "The ears are small, thin and close together."
#6. "The long neck is muscular, with robust shoulders."
#7. "The tail is set low and on the short side carried horizontally."
#8. "The coat is dense, short, flat and harsh to touch. The AKC recognizes two color varieties, the White Bull Terrier and the Colored Bull Terrier. The White Bull Terrier is allowed to have colored markings on the head, but no where else on the body. The Colored Bull Terriers may be black, brindle, black-brindle, red, fawn and tri-color with white markings."
#9. "Though this breed was once a fierce gladiator, it is much gentler now."
#10. "A Bull Terrier might have a preventive effect and it might defend its owner in a truly critical situation, but it isn't bred to be a guard dog."
#11. "Courageous, scrappy, fun-loving, active, clownish and fearless."
#12. "The Bull Terrier is a loyal, polite, and obedient dog."
#13. "They become very attached to their owners."
#14. "The Bull Terrier thrives on firm, consistent leadership and affection and makes a fine family pet."
#15. "Bull Terriers like to be doing something and fit in well with active families where they receive a great deal of companionship and supervision."
#16. "They do not do well in situations where they are left alone for 8 hours a day."
#17. "With the right type of owner this breed is a joy to own, but not recommended for most households."
#16. "Fond of both grown-ups and children, but some may be too energetic with small children if not properly exercised. Children should be taught how to display leadership towards the dog."
#17. "Unaltered males may not get along with other male dogs. They are not recommended with other non-canine pets such as rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs."
#18. "They make excellent watch dogs."
#19. "This breed can be somewhat difficult to train."
#20. "Standard Bull Terrier:
Height: 20-24 inches (51-61 cm.)
Weight: 45-80 pounds (20-36 kg.)
Miniature Bull Terrier:
Height: 10-14 inches (25-33 cm.)
Weight: up to 24-33 pounds (11-15 kg.)"
#21. "Bull Terriers will do okay in an apartment if they are sufficiently exercised. They are fairly active indoors and a small yard will do. They prefer warm climates."
#22. "Life Expectancy: About 10-12 years."
#23. "Litter Size: As little as 1 puppy and as many as 9 ~ Average 5."
