| Breed Notes
The Bull Terrier was created in 19th century England. He is a cross between the Bulldog and a now extinct white English terrier. He was used originally in dog fights. The Bull Terrier is fearless and energetic. He is well mannered but should not be kept with other dogs as he can become aggressive. He is also exceedingly friendly toward people. He has a jaunty attitude. The Bull Terrier has an oval-shaped head that curve downward from the top of skull to tip of the nose. He has small, dark eyes. The ears are set at the corners of the skull and point upward. The body is muscular with a short, strong back. The legs are straight and of moderate length. The coat is short, flat and harsh to the touch. There are two types of coat colors that are acceptable. One is white with the possibility of some red or brindle markings on the head. The other is brindle or red in body with white on the chest legs and tip of the tail. The tail is short, set low and carried horizontally. When in motion, the legs move parallel to each other with easy strides. The Bull Terrier should range between 21 and 22 inches in height and 52 to 62 pounds in weight. |
