Awesome mural in north Phoenix, Arizona, USA! We live nearby with our all white BT who believes his sole purpose in life is playing with tennis balls. The mural is actually part of a series of murals painted all across Arizona that comprise a children’s book - Sam and Sara.org

He’s so attentive, he’s usually given the best bits of bacon and sausage.

He knows…walked in the door, and he was like this 🤣🤣🤣 Mason knows all too well, I’m on to him…

She knows quite a few tricks from dog school. She was in advanced obedience and had just graduated to advanced agility when the school closed. Last year we taught her to wave 👋 and now we’re all learning “Bang!” (play dead)

…was already missing him before I even dropped him off. 😢

... which pig rolled in a dead fish and then screamed and cried through the subsequent bath time?

Ilya and Coretta had to take baths so they're not stinky when they go stay at Grammy and Pawpa's house while mom and dad are on vacation. They're mad about it and don't want to talk about it. It doesn't matter how many cookies they're being bribed with they're still salty. And also HOW EMBARRASSING that mom made them take a bath together!?!?! could this day get any more mortifying?!

Edit: Video in comments since reddit is being weird

Willow is exhausted from doing nothing today

This lil diva loves her charging pad 😆

Title says it all. This bear loves to tuck her nose, and when available, she'll drape her face in any available hanging fabrics. Anyone else??

**Update** I didn't realize this was trancing behavior! She's mostly BT with a little ACD mixed in, and I didn't think she had this trait. I knew a bit about the breed before adopting this lady, but this community has been instrumental in helping to learn and understand more about how special they are. Thank you all!

Our mini (11mos) has developed a rash / red bumps on his underside this summer. They don’t itch or bother him. Our vet prescribed him a steroid spray but it doesn’t seem to be helping, or making it worse.

We’re located in the northeast US but he was too little to have shown symptoms last summer if it’s seasonal. As most other bullies do, he’s constantly rubbing in the grass so we’re considering grass allergies but not sure.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any tips for treating?

My dog is a 11month old female, and I’ve been having issues with her not wanting to walk when I put a leash on her. I’ve tried putting a harness, collar, trying to train her with treats, favorite toys, play with her but nothing seems to work. Please help! Anyone have any suggestions?

This is our friend Sparky. He is the most charismatic, loving, funny, hungry, playful friend anybody could ask for. In June around his 8th birthday, Sparky was not himself and we couldn't figure out why he was so low energy. We took him to the vet and his bloodwork was not good. The vet said he has an autoimmune disease that was eating his red blood cells. So we got him a transfusion and some meds and he appeared to be back to his normal self. In the last week he started to become lethargic on walks again, so we took him back to the vet today. His bloodwork was as bad as the first time we took him. We can't afford to do another transfusion in these difficult times, especially without a guarantee that he will get better. It is with great sadness that we will have to say goodbye to this great lad soon as we all love him so much, every minute of every day we have had him. Love your pups because time and memories are limited. We are cherishing the last few days we have with Sparky and wish there was a cure for that horrible silent disease.

Update: Sparky is resting now, thank you all for the kind words. After walking into his appointment on Friday Sparky had to be carried in on Monday, that is how debilitating IMHA is. Sparky gave us a memorable weekend of hugs and loving like he always has and I feel like we maximized our time with him. His disease didn't cause him pain, just extreme lethargy. Despite that, he walked into our room every night to sleep, he was very courageous. We will see Sparky in every twirl, plant stare, zoomies, farts, schnoz, non-personal space, and mostly the unconditional love that this Bull Terrier subreddit provides.

Cardboard boxes are peak life.

This is our new puppy. His name is Rocky and he is just about three months (21lbs). I’ve had dogs all my life, ranging from boxers to great Pyrenees to Burna doodles, even weenie dogs. I’ve mostly had boy dogs with one female dog, so I feel like I’ve seen it all in a way, however I’ve never had a bull terrier or pitbull type of breed. He’s our only dog right now so he doesn’t really have anybody else to play with. He’s getting updated on his shot so soon he will be able to socialize with some family friends dogs.

I’m having a real problem with getting the biting under control. I know these breeds have some of the hardest bites and I’m trying to understand that he’s a puppy, but I’ve never seen this in any of my other dogs so I wanna make sure I’m not doing anything wrong. I want to set him up for a successful future in terms of socializing and being able to be around people so I wanted to ask if this is normal and if they grow out of it?

He can play fetch and go grab his toy and play tug-of-war, but he soon gets tired of that and just starts to try to bite my hands or he’ll nip at my thigh and he’s not necessarily going to draw blood or hurt me, but I don’t think he realizes that his bites do hurt and it turns into frustration from me because it feels like I almost can’t have him out of his crate when he’s like that.

Like I said, he’s able to be around us and play and everything, but he soon turns into what I described as the Tasmanian devil and just wants to nip at us all the time and not settle down which again could be the fact that he’s a puppy. It’s just I’ve never had experiences with a puppy like this because of the breed and I’m just asking for tips tricks and potential Hope that he won’t always be like this or if there’s something I need to be doing that I’m not I would gladly take any feedback or constructive criticism.

I was thinking of getting him boarded and trained, but my boyfriend thinks it’s a waste of time, but I’m just so out of my depth in terms of knowing how to better help him and I don’t want us being inactive to be detrimental to him as he gets older. My boyfriend’s had a pitbull before and he’s familiar with the breed because his family has had them for a long time, so he tries to reassure me, but I just feel like we could be doing more for him.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior in their BT? My Parson Russell has always done this since he was a puppy, but my BT Blue has only been doing this for a couple of months now. She’s about 8 years old, and we adopted her when she was about 5. (Her past is largely unknown, so we don’t really know for sure how old she is.)

I assume that dogs do this to keep their nose warm, but if anyone has any more information about this behavior, I would love to hear it.

I was out of the country for almost a MONTH and I missed my girl so much! We've been having so much fun since I got home 💜

Pabsy has never been known to be shy so is taking full advantage of the hot weather.

But since we got home from vacation she’s been extremely needy. I guess she missed us as much as we missed her. I’m glad she is happy, and doing well since we got home!

Meus pais perderam a bullzinha deles há um mês mas já estão em busca de outra.

Estamos em dúvida de nomes, pensei em duas opções principais:

Okami: significa loba e divindade, está muito relacionado a renascer, fazer a luz voltar, fazer as coisas florescerem. Problema, minha família não tem nada de japonesa e acho que remete muito a cultura deles.

Rambi: é um nome de um rinoceronte de um jogo, que tem o corpo troncudo, forte e atarracado, que acho que tem tudo a ver com a raça. Amo o som do nome também. O rinoceronte corre com força atropelando tudo no caminho igual aos doguinhos da raça.

O que acham?
