The Bull Terrier is a distinctive breed known for its unique "egg-shaped" head and muscular build. Originally bred for dog fighting in 19th-century England, they have since evolved into friendly and affectionate companions. They are energetic and playful, thriving on active lifestyles and requiring regular exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behavior. With proper training and socialization, Bull Terriers can be excellent family pets, particularly suited to families with active members who can provide the necessary care and attention. They are loyal and protective but can be wary around other dogs due to their fighting heritage.
