The Bull Terrier

My first impression of the Bull Terrier was created by the book The Incredible Journey and then by the wonderful Disney movie of the same name. What a wonderful tale.

We later had a dog that was a Bull Terrier/Fox Terrier mix. He was a wonderful dog. He was loyal, gentle and full of energy.

Bull Terriers learn somewhat slowly but are very alert watchdogs and guarddogs. Our dog proved that. He learned one or two tricks but he was a terrific watchdog.
They are a one-family dog and are reserved with strangers and quarrelsome with strange dogs.

They need good, firm training as a puppy to become an admirable pet. Fine for older children but too active for younger children.

Bull Terriers grow to be 35-55 pounds, have a short, smooth coat, and come in two varieties: white and colored (brindle, fawn) all with white chest, feet and blaze.
