It won't be for a few years now but ever since I was about 14 when I met an English bull terrier at a pet expo, I have been mad on them. I have looked them up in countless books and articles and on the internet and they seem like the perfect dog for me, their personality, size and needs.
However, I have constantly read contradictory views on whether an English bull terrier is suitable for a first-time buyer. I have both read that a first-time owner should NOT get a bull terrier, but also been advised that a bull terrier IS a suitable dog for a first-time owner.
I know that bull terriers can be stubborn and at times difficult to train and so I would be prepared to take my dog to puppy training sessions and I would be very comitted to socialising and training it.
Does anyone have first hand experience with a bull terrier or have any advice that would clarify whether I should go straight for a bull terrier or choose a dog that is "easier" to handle.
