The Bull Terrier


This wonderful dog is a favorite among many.  But be warned this is not a dog for a first time dog owner, as they have very strong characters and can be considered little terrors if they don't get the right amount of attention and discipline from early on. They need someone with a stronger character than their own to control their behavior and let them know who is boss.

History


Bull Terriers originated in England originally as companion dogs.  They have a wide range of acceptable colors, white, white with markings being any color and brindle with white markings.  They are approximately 21-22" in size and weighing around 60-70 lb for males and 50-60 lb for females.

The Bull Terrier was once considered the ultimate pit fighting dog, but when dog fighting was abolished patrons turned to showing their dogs and breeding them for appearance.  Around the mid 1800's White English Terriers were crossed with Dalmations to produce an all white strain called The Bull Terrier. In the 1900's the dogs were crossed with the Staffordshire Bull Terrier into bring color back into the breed.  This dogs comical nature and expression has won it many friends, and it has been very popular in movies and advertising.

Temperament

Very mischievious describes the Bull Terrier.  They are comical, playful, assertive and energetic dogs.  They are sweet natured, affectionate and very loyal devoted companions but can be very stubborn.  Some can be aggressive with other dogs.

Upkeep

Bull Terriers need lots of exercise and mental stimulation to be healthy happy dogs, with a weekly coat brushing.

Health Concerns

Deafness in the whites,  kidney problems,  heart problems and Patellar Luxation.
Life span - 11-14 years.

Animals are not ours to wear!

Animals Are Not Ours to Wear

Fur_Farm Skins: Abuse of Animals
Animals are not ours to wear, walk on or carry our possessions in. Before animal skins reach store shelves, animals live a life of misery, pain, boredom and fear, and many are skinned alive.
On fur farms, inquisitive and normally free-roaming animals such as foxes, minks and chinchillas spend their entire lives confined to tiny, filthy wire cages. They are denied the opportunity to engage in natural behaviours such as climbing, burrowing and swimming, and many go insane. When they are killed, animals are often gassed, anally or genitally electrocuted, or poisoned with strychnine, or their necks are snapped. These methods are not always effective: some animals wake up while the skin is being torn off their bodies.
Leather is just as cruel as fur. Every year, more than 1 billion animals are slaughtered in the global leather industry, which pulls in £600 million per year in Great Britain alone. In the UK, these animals are most commonly cows. Leather from Asian countries such as India and China often comes from animals whose throats were cut and whose skin was ripped off while they were still conscious.
But it's not just cows who suffer for the leather and fashion industries. The exotic-skins industry claims the lives of millions of snakes, alligators, seals, zebras and other beautiful animals, whose skins are regularly found on catwalks and celebrities' bodies. Other skins come from more familiar faces. An estimated 2 million cats and dogs are killed in China every year, and hundreds of thousands of cats' and dogs' skins are traded in Europe.
Thirty per cent of the world's wool comes from Australia, where sheep farmers mutilate millions of lambs in a cruel procedure known as mulesing. This mutilation is a misguided attempt to prevent flystrike, even though humane alternatives exist.
Many celebrities and important figures have joined PETA in the campaign against the cruel use of animal skin and fur.

My Bull Terrier

My brindle bull-terrier, loving and wise,
With his little screw-tail and his wonderful eyes,
With his white little breast and his white little paws
Which, alas! he mistakes very often for claws;
With his sad little gait as he comes from the fight
When he feels that he hasn’t done all that he might;
Oh, so fearless of man, yet afraid of a frog,
My near little, queer little, dear little dog!

He shivers and shivers and shakes with the cold;
He huddles and cuddles, though three summers old.
And forsaking the sunshine, endeavors to rove
With his cold little worriments under the stove!

At table, his majesty, dying for meat,–
Yet never despising a lump that is sweet,–
Sits close by my side with his head on my knee
And steals every good resolution from me!
How can I withhold from those worshipping eyes
A small bit of something that stealthily flies
Down under the table and into his mouth
As I tell my dear neighbor of life in the South.

My near little, queer little, dear little dog,
So fearless of man, yet afraid of a frog!
The nearest and queerest and dearest of all
The race that is loving and winning and small;
The sweetest, most faithful, the truest and best
Dispenser of merriment, love and unrest!

About Me

My photo
I have started this site in the hope that I will be able to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged, abused, abandoned and homeless dogs. Dogs are my absolute passion and it hurts me deeply when I see the level of cruelty human beings are able to stoop to, in ways that make these innocent, sentient, loving and loyal beings lives absolutely horrendous. I want to make a difference and I want to be part of the procedure that will stop all the unnecessary cruelty.
