Bull Terriers are very special dogs, but they are definitely NOT for everyone. We strongly recommend taking the time to do research
both by reading books on the breed and meeting some bull terriers in person before making the decision to get a bull terrier. Dog shows are a great way to meet the breeds! See our section on showing for resources to help you locate shows in your area.
BULLIES EAT ANYTHING! Beware of Obstructions
All new bully owners should be aware that bull terriers have a tendency to eat anything, even things that are normally inedible.
If you see your dog throwing up (and may or may not also have the runs), this can be a sign of an
obstruction (a blockage inside the dog caused by eating foreign objects). If you think there is any chance your bully
may have ingested something, he/she should be xrayed immediately to determine if he has ingested something that cannot be passed. We have been vigilant and so far lucky in that none of our dogs have required "ZIPPER" surgury to remove any foreign object. However, many bullies are members of the Zipper Club, and only fast action on the part of their owner saved their life.
