That said, you can be the best dog trainer in the world, but the fact is, if you p*ss one of these things off, it is an incredibly powerful creature. Why do you think Bull terriers are so called ?
Although I think there should be tighter controls on dogs like this, it is sad to see any animal being harmed or destroyed.

Tricky agree with you bar
just one tiny bit.
Yes Bull Terriers are extremely powerful for their weight but they are far from the devil dogs they are made out to be. Plenty of other dogs for example Mastiffs, Rottie and others bred for guarding duties are larger and less stable temperament(aggression reagrds human) than Bull Terriers. I can't see why we can't just have one set of rules for everybody rather than it being pot luck if a dog lives or not.
I fully understand that to the uninitiated they look can look scary. More so with the crappy crosses being done by peddlers in which their goal is to exaggerate head etc.
What would peeps describe this dog as? Pit Bull. Just curious
Agree with you Rubberduckof death. When bred and brought up correctly a Bull Terrier should have not be human aggressive. On the other hand they like to please their owners so someone up to no good can turn one very bad indeed.
