Description
The Bull Terrier is a joyous, mischievous companion, often described as a clown in a dog suit. Their egg-shaped head is instantly recognizable, but it's their zest for life that truly sets them apart. They approach every day with boundless enthusiasm, transforming mundane tasks into grand adventures. These assertive, yet utterly devoted dogs thrive on human interaction and bring an infectious sense of fun to any household. While surprisingly gentle with their beloved families, their strong prey drive and spirited nature mean they flourish with consistent training and ample enrichment to channel their powerful energy. They form incredibly strong bonds, demanding to be part of every family activity.
