The Bull Terrier Dog

The Bull Terrier dog originates from Great Britain where its ancestors were used for dog fighting. The modern Bull Terrier may appear to be a vicious fighting dog, but in fact is a friendly and devoted companion. It has a lot of energy that must be channeled into appropriate activities such as a daily run or a vigorous activity such as a game of frisbee.
