ONE OF THE MOST COURAGREOUS DOG BREED
Small in size like a Pitbull, Bull terrier was originally bred in 18th century for the purpose of Bull fighting & dog fighting. Soon it got a reputation of "GLADIATOR OF CANINES" which would fight to death to please it's owner. Today's Bull terrier is energetic and playful dog & have proved themself as delightful companions. They are clownish, scrappy and fearless dog, but they are not guard dogs. Again like in case of most of Alpha dogs, Bull Terrier too requires firm & confident owners. Socialization at early stage is a must.Bull Terrier becomes very attached to it's owners. This breed can be difficult to train for the first timers.
TEMPERAMENT
Because of their power and difficulty to train ,"bullies" are not ideal for a first-time dog owner. However, their physical strength is matched by their intelligence, which makes them thoroughly reliable pets. Both body and mind need to be kept active and they can be fun and playful. The Bull Terrier is known to show aggressiveness towards other dogs, usually that of the same sex.
Pure Bred Bull Terriers can be extremely strong willed and dominant, especially males। In some cases professional level leadership and training is a necessity on a daily basis to prevent your dog from becoming an aggressive dog towards both humans and dogs. A Bull Terrier is not your average dog, this is a mentally and physically strong breed. Strict leadership and discipline regiment should be engaged from day one of ownership. Your Bull Terrier may seem like playful and mischievous puppy at first, but owners should be very aware to look and recognize aggressive and dominant behavior even in the first 6 months.

HEALTH ISSUES
All puppies should be checked for deafness, as this sometimes occurs (most commonly in pure white dogs) and is difficult to notice, especially in a relatively young puppy. Many Bull Terriers have a tendency to develop skin allergies.Insect bites, such as those from fleas, and sometimes mosquitoes and mites, can produce a generalized allergic response of hives, rash, and itching.
This condition can be stopped by keeping the dog free of contact from these insects, but this is definitely a consideration in climates or circumstances where exposure to these insects is inevitable. Their lifespan is somewhere between 10 and 14 years, although they can live longer - a male bull terrier house pet in South Wales, UK by the name of "Buller" lived to the age of 18 years. The oldest female Bull Terrier on record is an Australian house pet dubbed "Puppa Trout" who remained sprightly into her 17th year. The second oldest female Bull Terrier on record is "Boots Moon Stomp Stout (Crain)" of Denver, Colorado USA. Boots lived to be 16 years of age.
