Bull Terrier

The Bull Terrier is a flamboyant, childish, fun-loving terrier that loves humans and families. While some people may not consider this the best-looking breed, it is extremely lovable. But people who do love these dogs put them in their hearts. The dog you see with the Target Logo around their eye that you see at Target, is a Bull Terrier. And AKC let the Bull Terrier in the club on July 9th, 1974. Why shouldn't you love them? Unlike most dogs, they don't bark without a reason to. They love to play games and they love people of all kind!

Bull Terriers were mixed with the English Bulldog, and several other terrier breeds to create a loyal companion. Some showed some more bulldog heritage, and others showed more terrier traits. Over the years, the bulldog and the terrier parts of this breed came together.

AKC describes the dog with a short and glossy coat, so grooming is minimal. These dogs do have some health issues, especially because of its mix with the bulldog. Make sure that the Bull Terrier's parents were healthy, otherwise health concerns can become serious. And like the Bulldog, the Bull Terrier is a loving dog who is great with all people, all ages, of all kind. So if you want a nice companion for your family to love forever, the Bull Terrier is definitely for you.
