However, bringing a dog into the family is not always a smart thing to do. You need to make sure that both the children and the adult members of the family are ready for a furry friend, otherwise someone is likely to get disappointed over time. You also need to make sure that you are selecting the right breed and you are treating your dog in a way that guarantees your children’s safety.

Bullterriers have a coarse and short coat that requires not too much care, but during their seasonal shedding (two times a year) weekly brushing is advised. Regular check and care of the ears is also very much advised, since the ears tend to cause health problems. Otherwise, this breed is a healthy one; you must only pay attention to protect them from cold weather.

Training of this breed is not that easy, a heavy-handed yet calm, consistent and dominant trainer is needed to teach the dog. Early socialization is a must, as Bullterriers tend to be unfriendly towards other pets, dogs or children. Constant supervision is required when the dog is with smaller children.

All in all, Bullterriers will make excellent watchdogs or guard dogs if trained properly and they are kept happy in a house with at least a medium-sized yard to play.

I hope this introduction about Bullterriers will help you decide whether this breed is the right one for you.

Yes, it is. Just imagine the situation from the point of view of your Bull Terrier. He is part of the family, often treated as “the kid”, and then, suddenly, a new creature arrives and takes all the attention of his beloved family. It is quite similar to what older children feel, when a little brother/sister arrives. One of the differences is just that the dog can’t speak English

Actually, if we are aware of this ‘problem’ in advance, the situation can be handled, but it needs consciousness and to be started in time, long before the baby’s arrival. Let’s see how we can prepare our Bull Terrier for the new family member.

If your dog’s daily routine has to be changed with the baby’s arrival (it probably will), you should start changing the rules much earlier, giving him plenty of time to get used to the new set up. This way it isn’t going to be so sudden and shocking. If your Bull Terrier hasn’t really been trained before, it’s high time to start. He should learn at least a few commands, like sit, stay, etc. This way, he’ll be easier to handle.

Many families worry about their dog endangering the health of the child, so the best thing to do is to take your pet to the vet, get him checked and get some advice. Get your Bull Terrier used to the new smells, sounds in advance (blankets, lotions, toys). It’s also a good idea, that just after your baby was born, send home a blanket that the baby had been in, so your dog can experience the child’s smell in advance. It is very important to know that your  Bull Terrier will get a lot less attention from the mother, so when taking the baby home for the first time, the mother should greet the dog, so it is better if someone else is carrying the baby.

It is also a good idea not to leave them alone together at the first times, until your Terrier feels comfortable with the baby, because, for example, it is very possible that the dog won’t tolerate the child’s crying very well in the beginning. You have to teach him that this is a normal sound, and you should motivate him not to bark (with treats, for example).

And the most important rule for last, maybe it seems too obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning: try to give as much attention to your Bull Terrier as you can. The point is that he has to feel that you do care about him. If you keep this in mind, most probably there will be no problem.

If not, then the Bull Terriers (Complete Pet Owner’s Manual) is definitely for you.

Just to give you an overview, a Bull Terrier is most recognizable because of its “egg shaped” head which is found to be adorable by many. Although this breed is from the line of fierce gladiators, Bull Terriers are much gentler today. They are chosen as pets because of their active, clownish, courageous, fearless, and fun-loving temperament. This type of pet tends to be loyal and polite towards its owner. Bull Terriers thrives on firm, consistent leadership and affection and loves to be doing something and fit in well with active families where they are able to receive a great deal of companionship and supervision.
