This book captures the very essence of the character of the Bull Terrier. Anyone who has previously owned one of these dogs will instantly recognise many if not all of the features described. Potential owners are forewarned about the unique traits of this breed, both positive and negative, and can make an informed decision as to whether this is the dog for them. The book covers all aspects of life with your Bull Terrier from puppyhood to old age, including training, showing, health problems and how to cope with the loss of your dog. The book is well worded and easily understood by even the most inexperienced Bull Terrier owner. For first time owners it gives clear direction in helping to choose a reputable breeder and what to look for in a healthy puppy. It also includes a detailed guide to training Bull Terriers. The health section makes the reader aware of specific problems associated with the breed as well as common and more rare diseases. A history of the breed is included in the book covering the origin of this dog. The book is beautifully illustrated and packed with high quality photographs which add to the appeal of this book. The author of this book obviously has great insight into the quirky nature of the Bull Terrier mind and this is reflected throughout the book. It is a wonderful and entertaining read and it is also great value for a hardback book! Highly recommended for anyone who loves these dogs.

A good overall book giving details on most aspects of dog care, including many cute pictures of this fantastic rarely seen breed. Would be interesting to see a size comparison between minis and the standard BT's though!
A must-have book for anyone considering introducing a dog to the family. Gives a thorough history of the breed and provides up-to-date advice on aspects of health and veterinary care. (Chuck out the bit about herbal remedies though - don't be cheap, take your dog to a vet!)

I have owned bull terriers with skin problems and other health issues and because of this have searched out information on holistic healthcare for animals. This comprehensive little book is a must for all bull terrier owners whose priority is good health for their pet. It is simple to read but also informative and sometimes humorous (it would be - the author has owned bull terriers for years; she must have a sense of humour!). The book has not been written to replace the skills of a vet but, by a qualified homeopath, to help people understand both bull terriers and homoeopathic medicine. If you are interested in using homoeopathy, but feel you have no real knowledge, this is a great place to start. I knew a little about the discipline and this book definitely increased my understanding.
