English Bull Terriers

strictly speaking no dog has the ability to lock its jaw.some breeds such as staffies and bull terriers have a very strong bite that could appear locked and /or a lasting bite could cause a build up of lactic acid in the jaw muscles which can develope into cramp and thus seem locked

the akc has classified the breed as an American staffordshire terrier while the ukc has classified the breed as an American pit bull terrier so yes, they are both the same dog but American Staffordshire Terriers have been selectively bred for the last 65 years or so to posess certain physical characteristics. The Pitbull was bred for performance rather than looks so there are a wide variety of body types and temperments.

If you get them as a puppy and SOCIALIZE them with cats, dogs, babies, etc, then they should be friendly for the rest of their adult lives (especially if you keep up the socialization process).

However, the male SBT's could be dog aggressive if they are not neutered or not socialized. You could try to train them to become socialized, but it's more difficult if they weren't socialized as a young puppy (but not impossible).

I have a female SBT who did not like cats because I made the mistake of socializing her with everyone (dogs, babies, adult humans), but not cats. I wanted to get a cat when she was two years old so I had to get a KITTEN because the male kitten did not pose any threat, she eventually accepted it (with a lot of enforcement by myself chastising her when she showed aggression towards the eight week old kitten). I don't think it would be possible to introduce an adult cat to an adult SBT if the SBT doesn't like cats ---- you have to start out with a kitten and be FIRM if the SBT shows any aggression.

With any dog breed, it's easier for a female dog to accept a male dog and vice versa. In other words, if you already have a dog, then if you want to get a second dog, get the OPPOSITE GENDER.

Same as in English ENGLISH BULL TERRIER

Terriers are similar by their function as vermin hunters. They might pull pests from their dens. Due to their independent use, many are independent and tenacious or hyper. Some are also bull-and-terrier dogs used for bull baiting and pit fighting. They tend to be tough, but biddable.

next to your home

because they were secret lovers

yes; all dogs do

if you want a back yard breeders dog about $800. But if you are a real lover of the bull terrier you will do what i did and found a real breeder from the Bull Terrier Club of America (BTCA) and it will run you about $1800 to $3000. For me it was money well spent!

Bull Terriers were first used for dog fighting and bull baiting, and today their main function is companionship.

very very very gently use a damp cotton pad -cotton PAD, not bud- and just wipe

they shed there coats twice a year if that helps

Our female staffie was put with stud on 14 February, puppies arrived on 8 April. Labour started the evening before, she did need vets help and cesarean

about two to three months old, it varies.

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is known for its good temperament with children, earning it the nickname ''Nanny Dog''. I would recommend buying a puppy so that it can grow up around children and learns how to behave around them. Staffordshire Bull Terriers are naturally loving Dogs with people, but you must make sure to supervise children when around any Dog (regardless of breed) and make sure that they know how to handle Dogs properly. As long as you do this, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier can be a child's best friend. My Stafford lives with four children under the age of 12 and she has always been 100% reliable with them.

No, the Kennel Club's requirements on breeding standard are that they should be perfectly parallel.

The fell terrier is the modern name for a black and tan working terrier group. The most common fell terrier is the Parrerdale Terrier.

If you define a terrier as it is supposed to be defined, then NO, a pit bull should not be classified as a terrier. Terrier means "earth dog," referring to dogs which go to ground for game. American Pit Bulls have never been used for digging out game, though they have been (and still are being) used for hunting boar and other animals. According to the AKC and UKC, they are registered in the Terrier Group (AKC recognizes the Pit Bull as an American Staffordshire Terrier). Possibly, they have been placed in this group due to their gameness, but many current fanciers agree that they ought to be placed in the working group for their talents as herding dogs, service dogs, search and rescue dogs, Schutzhund dogs, and even sledding/weight pull dogs. yes

you can't answer with picture on this site, try another, i have attached one, but i don't think it will show

No

Of course.

Pit bulls often are associated with negative stereotypes, but in actuality these dogs can pleasant and faithful. Good with children, they make wonderful family dogs. Training is what will make this dog a reliable companion. Begin training at seven weeks, but formal obedience training should begin at 4 - 6 months. Be sure to use positive training methods that rely on praise and treats as motivators, rather than pain. Use proper technique when training the pit bull terrier, as you would with any dog. Pit bulls are not dominant by nature and will respond with proper encouragement. House train your pit bull terrier to be housebroken by taking him outside often. Wait 20 - 30 minutes after feeding the dog, then take him for a walk. After bringing the dog inside, wait a little, and then take him back outside to see if he needs to go again. Say, "no" if the dog pees inside and immediately take him outside. Say "pee outside" and praise him when he does so. Train your pit bull to always heel when on the leash. Do this by not allowing it to pull you, and jerk the leash should the dog begin to walk in front of you, saying "Heel" firmly at the same time. Praise it when it obeys. Be consistent. If you are consistent, the dog will know what to expect, and will be even-tempered.

Yes, due to their unique head shape and severe inbreeding, many English Bull Terriers are born blind. Many white English Bull Terriers are also death or have hearing loss.

Every dog owner needs to have homeowner insurance or renters insurance that provides coverage for, and does not exclude, injuries inflicted by dogs or animals in general, and has a limit of at least $100,000 for personal liability. This type of insurance will enable the dog owner's insurance company to pay an appropriate amount of compensation for all but the most severe accidents caused by a dog. Because the dog owner's own relatives, friends and neighbors are the most likely victims of a possible dog attack, having insurance means protecting the people who are closest to the dog owner, thereby protecting valuable relationships and ensuring proper treatment of loved ones.

Given the fact that a dog is most likely to bite someone whom the dog owner loves most, it is recommended that dog owners have higher limits, such as $1 million, through either their homeowners and renters policies or by an "umbrella" policy. It is very inexpensive to obtain an umbrella policy.Some big insurers, including Allstate and Farmers Insurance Group, won't cover homes in some states if residents own certain breeds. Others exclude some breeds from liability coverage, or charge extra for it. The so-called vicious-breed lists include German shepherds, Akitas and Siberian huskies, along with Alaskan Malamutes, Chow Chows, Doberman Pinschers, American pit bull terriers and their cousins.
