The Bull Terrier is one of the most distinctive and charismatic breeds in the dog world.  With the spirit of a terrier and the substance of a bulldog, they are loyal, humorous, and deeply devoted companions.

However, they are not the right dog for every household.

Bull Terriers are intelligent, independent thinkers with strong personalities. They are affectionate and strongly bonded to their families, but they also like to do things on their own terms. They have opinions. Their heritage means they can be determined, energetic, and sometimes stubborn – which makes training both rewarding and entertaining.


They thrive in homes where:
• They receive regular interaction with their people
• Training is positive, creative, and consistent
• They have daily physical and mental activity
• Their independent personality is respected
      and understood

Bull Terriers are social dogs who prefer to be part of family life and do best in homes where they are not left alone for long periods. Like many terriers, they may also have a strong prey drive and may not always be suited to dog parks or multi-dog environments.

For those who understand them, Bull Terriers offer something truly special: a loyal, humorous, and big-hearted companion with a personality unlike any other breed.


Before deciding if a Bull Terrier is right for you, we strongly encourage you to learn more about the breed and speak with experienced preservation breeders.
