They are rather dominant towards other dogs but this depends on the inherent nature of the particular dog and the manner which it is trained. If you already have a dog in your house, never choose a bull terrier as a companion. It may take years before this happens, but there will be a confrontation between them.

 

Coat:

The short-haired coat can be plain white with markings on the head and broken colourings with highlights. Red, broken black, fawn and tripled-coloured (black and tan with a little white) are all accepted. With non-white animals, one colour must predominate.

 

Care:

A minimum grooming is required for a bull terrier. Brush the coat regularly with a rubber brush to remove dead and loose hairs. Keep the ear passages clean. The dog needs a soft place to lie down.

 

Training:

Train your dog from when it is a puppy because when fully grown it will be very difficult to train because it is a very strong dog. The Bull Terrier is very intelligent and learns quickly. Patience and consistence is required to train this dog.
