Advantages: funny, loving, beautiful,
Disadvantages: playful, chewy
I am 15 years old and some people's views on 'vicious' dogs such as bull terriers disgust me. The small minded people who think these dogs are bad for society are clearly too pig-headed to give them a chance.
People don't realise that, yes they were initially used as fighting dog's but come on! That's was years ago! GET OVER IT! Yes, you do get some badly behaved dogs. But you also get badly behaved people. But have you noticed that there is more of a public uproar over dogs than over murderers?
In some cases where dog's have attacted is after they have been playing. People need to learn that you need to calm a dog down afterwards, If you dont, the dog will think that anyone who comes next will also play. You need to put your hand flat and just stroke the dog for a few mins.
The saying 'fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering' comes in well here. Dogs attack when they feel threatened [first part of the saying]. Prejudice people slander these dogs [second part of the saying]. In some cases these dogs are put down and people say they shouldn't be allowed into society [final part of saying].
Society need to get past all the preconceptions and open their mind.
I have an English Bull Terrier [Rum], from a rescue centre, you'd think because he used to be beaten and was treated extremely badly he would be cautious of people and bite back but no, he is the gentlest thing ever.
In come cases, I have been walking down the road with Rum, and grown men have crossed to road so they dont have to walk him. I'm just like 'Dear god, why the hell do you think he will attact you?! I'm a 15 year old girl and I'm not bloody scared'.
He's never bitten anyone in the two years we have had him. He plays very well with other dogs and is amazing with children. He's the funniest thing in our house. He will run around, chew everything in sight, climb behind and push you off a chair if he wants to sit there.
Summary: open your mind and give them the chance they deserve

- 28/10/08 I have only met one Bull Terrier that was nasty, & that was due to the fact that his previous owner kept him chained up constantly & beat him to make him a "good" guard dog, but that isn't breed specific, any breed could potentially be a killer if treated like this, but this occurrence is not the norm! Most dog owners, of any breed are responsible, & a lot of owners of Bullies are also good breeders, so it wouldn't be in their best interest to treat their dog badly, though I don't know the exact stats, so won't be as brazen as to falsify any to hold up my claims! I don't understand how Colin, AKA thebigc1690 can honestly believe the statistics that he has written, that 8 out of 10 owners of this breed cause their Bull Terrier to be nasty due to irresponsibility! That then is to say that 8 out of 10 Bullies are nasty & that is complete & utter TRIPE! & he obviously has no idea what he is talking about & no proof to back up his allegations! People who don't know the facts, should not comment, & make up their own statistics to bolster their own misguided perceptions. |

- 08/08/08 There is no such a thing as a bad dog in my opinion just bad owners, unfortuantely about 8 out of 10 people who choose to own this type of dog are exactly that bad owners! So as good as you may be and your dog it is the others out there causing the problems! - Colin |
