How to choose a Bull Terrier

There are currently two main strains: the white Bull Terrier and the colored Bull Terrier. When we go to the market to choose a dog, we can first keep an idea in mind. For buying a dog, it is generally best to choose a reputable kennel, where the sourcing channels are legitimate and standard, and the quality of the dogs is also relatively good. We can judge the dog's health from its mental state, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, coat, excrement and other aspects.

1. A healthy dog should be lively and active, showing curiosity about new things while also having a sense of fear.

2. A healthy dog's eyes are clear and bright, with no film-like substance on the eyeballs and no large amount of eye discharge at the corners of the eyes. The nose is moist and smooth, and feels cool to the touch. If the nose is very dry and there is purulent discharge around it or bleeding of the nasal mucosa, it means the dog has a health problem. Turn over the dog's ears; the ear canal should be clean and free of odor, with no obvious trauma. A dog with normal hearing can respond promptly to sounds near its ears. A healthy dog generally does not have bad breath, there should be no abnormal discharge in the mouth other than saliva, and the teeth are white while the gums are pink.

3. A healthy dog's coat is clean and glossy, the skin has no red rashes or hair loss, and there are no parasites or lesions at the hair roots.

4. The area around the anus should be clean and free of foreign matter, and the surrounding skin should be clean and tidy.

5. Use infectious disease test strips to test on the spot to ensure the dog's health.

How to raise a Bull Terrier

1. Diet. For a domestic Bull Terrier, we should cultivate good habits from an early age. Prepare a fixed feeding place for it. Feeding times should also be basically fixed. The amount fed has different standards as it grows, but it should not be allowed to go too hungry or too full. Nor should it be allowed to scatter food everywhere or wolf it down; train it to eat slowly. Drinking water should be changed every day to keep it clean. Once the dog finishes eating, the food bowl must be taken away, and it should not be allowed to come over and eat again when it has spare time.

2. Coat care. The Bull Terrier sheds twice a year. Its coat does not need special care; simply groom it with a rubber glove or brush to remove naturally shed dead hair.

3. Nail trimming. A Bull Terrier's nails should be trimmed or filed regularly and should not be left too long. When trimming, use special round-tipped scissors, and during trimming be careful not to cut into the blood line.

4. Bathing. Normally keep bathing frequency to once every two weeks or once a month. In summer, keep it to once every 2-3 days. When bathing at home, use pet-specific bathing products. Human products will break down the waterproof oils in their skin's protective layer. Pay special attention to cleaning the folds and crevices to prevent skin disease or mange.

5. Exercise. The average Bull Terrier is quite energetic and needs a certain amount of daily exercise, but it should not be too intense. Try to arrange two walks of about 30 minutes each day.

Precautions

As the number of dogs kept in cities increases, some corresponding problems also arise. During the raising process, be sure to vaccinate the dog properly and put a collar on it when going out, to reduce unnecessary trouble.
