Latest Bull Terrier Frequently Asked Questions:
I have just bought an english bull terrier and the staffordshire bull terrier I already own (12 yrs) keeps attacking the puppy. I pay the staff plenty of attention but the problem is getting worse, and I'm afraid the staff will kill the pup. Any suggestions.
Answer:He feels threatened. Seek professional help now, if you're that concerned the pup might be killed. In the meantime, spend some time with the Staff one on one, and reward even the slightest positive interactions.
If someone has got a Pit Bull Terrier what must they do to be inside the law? Is it true that Pit Bulls are illegal in U.K? Are they illegal anywhere else? Are other Bull Terriers safe? Can anyone direct me to pictures so I can see the difference please? If someone has a Pit Bull Terrier illegally what sholud I do about it?
Answer:I suppose you have to try not to get caught with him/her . . . Pit Bulls are illegal in the UK and I think they are in a few other countries, too It is in a Pit Bull's nature to bite and kill something that is a threat to itself or its owner. If it does bite, the only way to stop it, is sadly to shoot it. Some Pit Bulls have a good temperment but you can never be too sure as it is possible for them to turn on you. Never leave a child alone with one!! You can search for pictures on google Tell someone, if you're worried about the dog

We just brought our staffordshire bull terrier puppy to our home to introduce her to our male jack russell, who is eight years old. When we went to collect her, we took them for a walk in a nearby field. Both of them were fine until we took them home. The dogs fought and we had to remove our jack russel from the room. Help?
Answer:Puppies are excitable, lovable hooligans. They have bursts of unbelievable energy, however in order to grow they need lots of sleep. New puppies need a room where they can rest and sleep and the other dogs in the house need respite. Older dogs don’t want puppies biting their ears and chewing their necks, if a puppy does this, the older dogs should be allowed to chastise the puppy. How would you cope if you were expected to cope with an unruly toddler twenty four hours a day? Would you be annoyed, if you had a toddler thrust upon you who pulled your hair and poked your eyes? I am sure that you would grumble. Please don’t expect your dog to cope with an unruly puppy and to baby-sit twenty four hours a day. Supervise them for SHORT play sessions in the garden and if the puppy is over exuberant, allow your dog to chastise it, then put your puppy in its own room to rest. Don’t expect your dog to want to sleep with your puppy or to play with it constantly. Your puppy will possibly need about four meals a day. Divide your other dog’s rations into four and feed it (or them) when you feed your puppy. Give your existing dog extra attention when the puppy is resting and make him feels special. There will be visitors, who want to see your puppy. When the doorbells rings, put your puppy into another room and tell your visitors to fuss your adult dog or dogs and give them treats BEFORE they make a fuss of the puppy. Older dogs love puppies, with the proviso that YOU stop the puppy from being a pain in the bum. They don’t want a puppy being thrust upon them all of the time. If you do this any dog will object and be confused.
I reallllllly want a staffordshire bull terrier but can it be left at home while my parents are at work and while I'm at school? I have a cleaner who comes three days a week at 1pm but I'm still not sure about it. Any answers?
Answer:Sure, if the dog is crate trained. They need LOTS of exercise, and can be destructive if left alone, and if they're bored. They are NOT dogs for the average owner. You need LOTS of experience for this breed. Do your research and lots of it. Not a dog to be chained and left outside, and should not be left in a home unattended without some sort of security. Crate training is great.
