| Physical Description: | The Bull Terrier is known for the shape of its head. The top of the bull terrier's head is flattish, with the long muzzle arcing from the top of the head to the nose. From the front, the shape of the head is almost oval. The ears are medium sized and usually erect, though some may droop slightly backwards. The eyes are smaller than most dogs of this size. The body is stocky with wide, muscular shoulders. The height and weight of the Bull Terrier varies greatly, ranging from 45-85 pounds and standing an average of 22 inches tall. |
| Breed Origins: | Like many of the bull family, the Bull Terrier originated in Great Britain. It was bred for bloodsports like bullbaiting and dog fighting, but was also used for vermin control. The breed has been mixed with a large range of breed to give it its distinctive appearance. The more obvious origins are the original English Bulldog and the Manchester Terrier. Some other breeds thought to be part of the Bull Terrier's ancestors include the Dalmatian, Greyhound, Whippet and Borzoi. |
| Breed Personality: | Bull Terriers are very intelligent on one hand and very willfull on the other. These to factors make the Bull Terrier difficult to train. Despite their origins as fighters, the Bull Terrier is a very affectionate dog. With proper training and attention, Bull Terriers make excellent family pets. Because of their nature, Bull Terriers are protective of children their adopted families. However care must be taken with young Bull Terrier. Because the combination of their power and playfulness, it is possible for children to be inadvertently hurt during playtime. This is much less likely to happen with fully adult Bull Terriers. |
| Misc: | There is a smaller version of the Bull Terrier called ... wait for it ... the Miniature Bull Terrier. The most famous bull terrier is probably Spuds Mackenzie of Bud Light commercials fame. |
