Bull Terriers are not a breed for everyone. They have a complex dominant character. They are independent and stubborn, requiring serious education and timely socialization. Not all breeders can handle such dogs. If you raise a Bull Terrier incorrectly, its strength, developed intelligence, fearlessness and endurance of its ancestors can cause problems.
Despite their reputation, bull terriers are good-natured and cheerful dogs. According to a study by the American Canine Association, only 10% of the breed have the fighting qualities of their ancestors and are dangerous to humans. Other breeds, with proper socialization and careful upbringing, become lovely pets. Problems arise due to improper behavior of owners.
Dogs should not be allowed to bite people or other animals, much less feed bulls and instill a fighting spirit in them. Improperly raised dogs can even bite their owners. And the strength of their teeth can cause serious injuries. In addition, these dogs have a developed tracking instinct. Therefore, they can attack other animals. The high activity of the Bull Terrier manifests itself even in adulthood. Dogs can play and run 24 hours a day. Pets love to accompany their owners on jogging and cycling trips. If you don't exercise your dog, it can drain the energy in your home and harm the environment.
