Bull Terrier Information
This playful clown is a silly, charming and mischievous pup. He is easily recognizable by his long snout, wide set eyes and pointy ears. Although he looks quite tough – perhaps because of his strong, muscular build – the Bull Terrier is actually one of the friendliest dog breeds. Obedience training helps reign in his energy and stubbornness.
Like his name implies, this breed is a cross between a Bulldog and Terrier. They were bred for the fighting rings and to catch vermin. The Bull Terrier has come a long way since those days – he is now a popular figure in pop culture and serves as the mascot of the Target brand.
