The Bull Terrier first appeared in the early 1800s, and they were originally bred for the core intention of bull baiting and dog fighting. A number of their most recognizable qualities are seen in their imposing appearance, love for fun and high demand for attention and exercise - which all help in making the Bull Terrier a common preference for active and devoted owners or for those who take part in agility competitions. The Bull Terrier is legendary for their playful, mischievous and often aggressive spirit when around other dogs. They are characteristically accommodating with unfamiliar people but can be protective of their family and territory, which often means they are fairly suitable as a guard dog. The Bull Terrier is not accepted to be extremely intelligent - placing 66th in comparison with other dogs when taking into account their capacity to be trained obedience commands. They are also recognized to be too energetic for most small kids and those who aren't able to demonstrate some leadership - making them not the best choice as a family pet. Grooming the Bull Terrier is a reasonably simple duty. They require occasional brushing whenever required and proper grooming roughly every 6 weeks depending on their color and monthly trimming of their nails. The Bull Terrier can be satisfied with a small yard to run around in, but they can be suitable for living in an apartment so long as they are given daily exercise. The Bull Terrier is made happy with pursuits such as being given daily mental stimulation, going for a run or simply clowning around. They possess a high level of energy and require daily exercise in the manner of long walks to inhibit destructive behavior or depression. The Bull Terrier could make the perfect dog for an active owner who will be their firm pack leader 100% of the time. Although they could be fairly inappropriate for the majority of households, if you are capable of meeting their high demand for guidance and attention (and they are intended as your only pet) then the Bull Terrier possibly will make the ideal dog for you.
