SPECIAL SKILLS: Family Pet. thick-set muscular, well-proportioned animal. Though this breed was once a fierce gladiator, he is much gentler now. A Bull Terrier, or English Bull Terrier, or Standard Bull Terrier, or English Standard Bull Terrier, or English Miniature Bull Terrier might have a preventive effect and it might defend it's owner in a truly critical situation, but it isn't breed to be a guard dog.

SIZE: There is no standard size for this dog; the most important point is for the build to create an impression of a substantial dog.
