The Bull Terrier’s most recognizable feature is its head. It is described as ‘egg shaped’ when viewed from the front. It is almost flat at the top, with a Roman muzzle sloping evenly down to the end of the nose with no stop. This a unique feature, that no other dog breed can boast with. A Bull Terrier’s head should be long, strong and deep right to the end of the muzzle, but not coarse. Full face it should be oval in outline and be filled completely. By this, I mean it should be devoid of hollows or indentations, i.e., egg shaped. In profile it should curve gently downwards from the top of the skull to the tip of the nose. The forehead should be flat across from ear to ear. The distance from the tip of the nose to the eyes should be perceptibly greater than that from the eyes to the top of the skull. The underjaw should be deep and well defined.

Whenever one sees a Bull Terrier, often one experiences a shiver of fright. Why? Is it the look of the Bull Terrier, or the negative publicity that it has gotten over a couple of decades? Probably the latter is true, since the Bull Terrier – for all its viscious look- is a friendly and outgoing dog. They can be clowns and love to play with humans as they like to be around people. This is a placid breed that usually won’t make the first move. They love to play with children, and often unaware of their sheer strength will cause unwanted injury to younger children. Supervision is thus necessary. But it has to be noted that injury in this case is not deliberate! Their intelligence is matched with their strength, and being a hardy and powerful breed it is often unaware of its own strength!But if it is in charge of a child, it will guard him or her with its life! That is guaranteed! Constant stimulation mentally and physically will keep this breed occupied and happy. The American Temperament Test Society, Inc. (ATTS), which is a not-for-profit organization that creates temperament testing for dog breeds, has given the Bull Terrier a pass rate of 91.5%. This is a very positive indicator of the Bull Terrier’s misconstrued temperament, since the average for all breeds is 81.5%! Thus next time you see a Bull Terrier, don’t let its formidable look or name scare you off. They are more beauties instead of beasts!
