Bull Terrier

Bull Terriers were developed from crossing bulldogs and several types of terriers. These dogs were unfortunately first used in the cruel “sport” of dog fighting. Their coats come in white, but may have small colored patches. So-called “Colored Bull Terriers” may be any other color than white with white white marking. Although they are incredibly powerful dogs, Bull Terriers are now generally quite gentle, clownish, and affectionate companions. Nonetheless, some Bull Terriers still have tendency to become headstrong, overly protective and even aggressive with other dogs. They require a firm and experienced owner.
