A lot of conflicting information has been written about this breed. Owners of bull terriers, as a rule, are very fond of their pets, and those around them are wary of them.
This is a mobile, strong and fearless dog, which, however, needs to be properly raised from an early age.

This breed comes from England. She was bred by crossing the terrier with an
English bulldog that was different from modern individuals. Ancient bulldogs were evil, they were used to persecute bears and wild boars. These dogs took part in the battles. All this happened in the middle of the 18th century. Bulldogs of that time were creatures clumsy and heavy, so the idea arose to bring out a more dexterous, evil, insensitive to pain. Such qualities as strength, mobility, courage and perseverance are inherent in the breed of bull terrier, the reviews of the owners only confirm this.
Since the animals were originally bred for fighting, some aggressive qualities are inherent in them. Nevertheless, with a proper, adequate
upbringing, the dog will not grow spiteful. Of course, if such an individual is trained to protect, then you can raise a killer dog. However, one should be aware that aggressive dogs are not necessarily a bull terrier; reviews eloquently testify to this. Even small dogs can be angry and bite.

If they treat the dog kindly, that's good. Then in the future you can not be afraid for the behavior of a pet with children, as it develops the right communication skills.

If after that the bull terrier does not change its behavior, apply 1 blow with a soft object. The main thing here is not to overdo it: you do not need to strike again. When punished, they beat only 1 time. They bring up without hard methods. Nevertheless, the puppy must obey, and all
members of the family.Bull terrier breeders write about the characteristics of this breed. In one family, bull terrier puppies - a male and a female, but not two male dogs can get along. Two dogs should not be kept together, since in this case fights cannot be avoided. Even keeping a dog of a different breed is quite problematic. The spirit of struggle, the desire to win - all this is embedded in the bull terrier.
