36-481: A 2008 study in Germany did not find that Bull Terriers had any significant temperament difference from Golden Retrievers in overall temperament researches. A 2024 UK study found a life expectancy of 12 years for the breed compared to an average of 12.7 for purebreeds and 12 for crossbreeds . Deafness occurs in 20.4% of pure white Bull Terriers and 1.3% of colored Bull Terriers, often being difficult to notice at

54-644: A dam called "Puss" sired by his white Bulldog called "Madman" into the Bull Terrier Class at the dog show held at the Cremorne Gardens in Chelsea, London . Originally, these dogs did not yet have the now-familiar "egg face", but kept the stop in the skull profile. The dog was immediately popular and breeding continued, using Dalmatian , Spanish Pointer , and Whippet to increase elegance and agility; and Borzoi and Rough Collie to reduce

72-502: A separate variety (at least by the AKC) in 1936. Brindle is the preferred colour, but other colors are welcome. Along with conformation, specific behaviour traits were sought. Bronchopneumonia Bronchopneumonia is a subtype of pneumonia . It is the acute inflammation of the bronchi , accompanied by inflamed patches in the nearby lobules of the lungs. It is often contrasted with lobar pneumonia ; but, in clinical practice,

90-463: A young age. Many Bull Terriers have a tendency to develop skin allergies . Insect bites, such as those from fleas , and sometimes mosquitoes and mites , can produce a generalised allergic response of hives, rash, and itching. A UK breed survey puts their median lifespan at 10 years and their mean at 9 years (1 s.f. , RSE = 13.87% 2 d. p. ), with a good number of dogs living to 10–15 years. Lethal acrodermatitis , also known as Acrodermatitis of

108-499: Is amenable to discipline. Although obstinate, the breed is described by the Bull Terrier Club as particularly good with people.

The profile curves gently downwards from the top of the skull to the tip of the nose, which is black and bent downwards at

144-415: Is less likely than lobar pneumonia to be associated with Streptococcus pneumoniae . Rather, the bronchopneumonia pattern has been associated mainly with the following: Staphylococcus aureus , Klebsiella , E. coli and Pseudomonas . Bronchopneumonia may sometimes be diagnosed after death, during autopsy . On gross pathology there are typically multiple foci of consolidation present in

162-583: The Bull Terrier is a rare genodermatosis monogenic autosomal inherited disease found exclusively in white Bull Terriers (including the miniature Bull Terrier). The condition is usually fatal and is characterised by poor growth, decreased serum copper and zinc levels, immunodeficiency, bronchopneumonia , skin lesions, and erosions on the distal extremities. Other symptoms that occur later on include crusting, papules , pustules , erythema , hyperkeratosis , and colour dilution. The condition manifests within

180-481: The Bulldog, which was a poor performer in most combat situations, having been bred almost exclusively for fighting bulls and bears tied to a post. Many breeders began to breed bulldogs with terriers, arguing that such a mixture enhances the quality of fighting. Despite the fact that a cross between a bulldog and a terrier was of high value, very little or nothing was done to preserve the breed in its original form. Due to

198-520: The basal lobes of the human lung , often bilateral. These lesions are 2–4 cm in diameter, grey-yellow, dry, often centered on a bronchiole , poorly delimited, and with the tendency to confluence, especially in children. Light microscopy typically shows neutrophils in bronchi, bronchioles and adjacent alveolar spaces. Compared to pneumonia in general, the association between the bronchopneumonia pattern and hospital-acquired pneumonia warrants greater consideration of multiple drug resistance in

This new breed combined the speed and dexterity of lightly built terriers with the dour tenacity of

234-404: The first few weeks of life and most puppies affected die before the age of 2. Their size is roughly half of their unaffected litter mates at a year old. Unlike the human condition acrodermatitis enteropathica , zinc supplements do not improve symptoms. A UK study found the Bull Terrier to have a predisposition to neutrophilic cholangitis , with the breed being 25.34 times more likely to acquire

252-459: The lack of breed standards—breeding was for performance, not appearance—the "bull and terrier" eventually divided into the ancestors of "Bull Terriers" and " Staffordshire Bull Terriers ", both smaller and easier to handle than the progenitor.

The first modern Bull Terrier is now recognized as "Lord Gladiator", from 1917, being the first dog with no stop at all.

Bull Terriers can be both independent and stubborn and for this reason are not considered suitable for an inexperienced dog owner. A Bull Terrier has an even temperament and

324-403: The types are difficult to apply, as the patterns usually overlap. Bronchopneumonia (lobular) often leads to lobar pneumonia as the infection progresses. The same organism may cause one type of pneumonia in one patient, and another in a different patient. It is more commonly a hospital-acquired pneumonia than a community-acquired pneumonia , in contrast to lobar pneumonia . Bronchopneumonia
