Bull Terrier

by Bethany Gibson, Alice Van Kempen (Photographer)

The "White Cavalier" promises to be a colorful companion dog for just about anyone willing to give himself over to this spirited canine. The Bull Terrier is a fiercely loyal dog with a gladiator's heart and a clown's brain. His well-protected family is equally entertained and loved. The Bull Terrier's popularity continues to grow as the breed offers almost every owner--male and female, country and city dweller, young and old-- a top-class dog that abounds in personality, talent and ability. This Comprehensive Owner's Guide serves as an excellent introduction to the Bull Terrier, including a special section on the breed in the US written by guest author David Harris, and a lively chapter on the breed's characteristics and personality, illustrated by fantastic color photographs of the breed at work and play. Author Bethany Gibson also discusses the selection of a puppy, introducing the puppy to your safe home, house-training and obedience lessons. All of the basics of care and maintenance are detailed, including feeding the Bull Terrier throughout his life, grooming, exercise and conditioning. Whether you are a newcomer to the "White Cavalier" or a long-time fancier, this new volume will be a treasured addition to your dog-book shelf.

Not breed specific

This book is touted as an encyclopedia of the bull terrier breed.
It's not. It is nothing more than a basic guide to raising puppies and training them.
There is little information on the breed as a whole and no specific training tips for bull terrier.
In short, I learned nothing from this book. having trained two previous puppies, I knew all of the basic training info and what breed specific info was included I had already found on various websites pertaining to the bull terrier breed.
This purchase was a complete waste of money.
