BD Terrier History

The Bull Terrier (also known as the American Pit Bull Terrier or APBT) is a breed of small terrier that has a muscular body and a distinctive square-shaped head. The Bull Terrier is descended from the Old English White and Black-and-Tan Staffordshire Bull-Dog, and the Bulldog. The name is believed to have originated when workers on the building of the London Underground smashed the skulls of fighting dogs, causing the skulls to swell, hence the name “Bull”. The BT is an aggressive, fearless, lively, and courageous little animal. He is extremely loyal to family, and is patient and gentle with children. He is reserved around strange people, but is very eager to please, and quite willing to perform tricks. He is intelligent and learns quickly, but needs a firm hand in training.

They are stubborn and independent, and can be quite headstrong. They are intelligent and quick learners, but can also be willful and obstinate. They need a firm, consistent hand in training, and are not well suited to first-time or timid owners. They are active and energetic, and need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. They can be territorial and protective of their family and home, and can be aggressive with other dogs if not properly socialized. They are generally good with children, but may be too rough for very young children. They make loyal, loving, and affectionate companions, and are best suited to active, experienced owners who can provide them with the physical and mental stimulation they need.

BD Terrier Activity Requirements

American Bull Terriers are a high-energy, medium-sized dog. They are very athletic and love to play, making them great companions for active and fun-loving families. While they do require regular exercise, their energy needs can be met with short, intense play sessions. They benefit from some time to run around and explore outside, but they can also burn energy indoors. In addition to their daily walks, they can benefit from having at least one play session a day. This can be a quick 10-minute game of fetch or a longer, more intense training session. When considering an American Bull Terrier, it is important to consider their energy levels. They are very active, playful, and athletic, and they need owners who can meet their need for mental and physical activity.
