Bull Terrier History

The Bull Terrier dog breed originated in United States of America. This adorable terrier breed (made popular by "Spuds McKenzie" of Budweiser beer commercials) originated in England - a cross between the (now extinct) White English Terrier and the English Bulldog - and has since muscled his way into the hearts and homes of dog lovers everywhere.

Bull Terrier Appearance

This muscular, heavy-set breed has a short, glossy coat that comes in two variations - all white or white with markings.

Bull Terrier Temperament

Friendly and fun-loving with a feisty side, the Bull Terrier makes an exceptional family pet who loves people - especially children.

Bull Terrier Exercise Needs

Bull Terriers enjoy a moderate amount of exercise. They need their exercise in order to stay fit and healthy, so a good walk twice a day should be given.

Is the Bull Terrier Dog Breed Right For You?

Bull Terriers thrive on human attention, and do not enjoy being cooped up by themselves, preferring to keep their owners company. This is not a good breed for you if you can't spare the time needed to keep your Bull Terrier company.

If you're looking for a great family dog that is good with children, the Bull Terrier is a sure fit.

Finding A Responsible Bull Terrier Breeder

Now that you have decided that the Bull Terrier is the right breed for you, it's time to start the process of finding a responsible Bull Terrier breeder from which to buy a healthy, well-socialized puppy. Not all breeders are alike; there are good breeders - and bad breeders. Don't be in a hurry to buy the first Bull Terrier puppy you find at the cheapest price available! To buy a puppy from a responsible Bull Terrier breeder, you may need to pay more and wait longer. The additional money and waiting time will be well worth it. Buy a puppy in haste from a newspaper ad, pet store or "backyard breeder", and you'll likely also purchase a great deal of additional expense and heartache, since you will likely end up falling in love with a puppy with health and behavioral problems that will likely need special care, plenty of veterinary visits, regular medication - or even euthanasia. But do your homework and find a responsible, caring Bull Terrier breeder who home-raises their puppies with love, screens their breeding dogs for health problems, offers a health guarantee and post sale support, and who genuinely loves the Bull Terrier breed and is in it for the love of the breed, rather than profit, and you can be fairly well assured of getting a healthy, happy, long lived and affectionate family companion that will provide you and your family with many years of joy, laughter and companionship.

Further information about choosing a responsible breeder...

Here are a few breeder directory sites that we recommend. These sites attempt to screen advertisers to ensure that the breeders listed are responsible and sell healthy, home-raised Bull Terrier puppies to carefully screened buyers. There are many, many sites now online that advertise dog breeders - many are a Mecca for puppy mills and backyard breeders. We recommend that you steer clear of these resources in favor of sites that are more selective in the breeders whom they allow to advertise.

We Highly Recommend:

• Bull Terrier Puppies For Sale
• Bull Terrier Breeders Showcase
• Bull Terrier Puppy Finder on Pet Net
