Temperament: This breed gets along well with children. Provided proper social training has taken place, it gets along fine with cats or other household pets. Depending in its individual nature and upbringing, it may try to dominate other dogs. If you already own a dog, it may be unwise to purchase a Bull Terrier as a second dog.

Care: Periodically use a rubber brush to remove dead hairs. The ears need to be cleaned on a regular basis. Provide a soft place for it to lie down.

Training: Puppies should go to an obedience course. This dog is very strong when it is fully grown, so it is very difficult to train as an adult. Handlers must be patient and understanding, as this dog learns quickly but has a stubborn streak.

Activity: This dog loves going for long walks and running and playing off the leash.
