bull terriers

Egg-headed canines

Bull terriers are a breed of muscular, medium-sized dog with a distinctive egg-shaped head and triangular eyes.

Originally bred in 19th-century England for dog fighting, they're now kept as companions known for their stubborn but affectionate temperament.

The miniature bull terrier is a smaller version of the breed.

Bull terriers need firm, consistent training.
