The Bull Terrier is a clown with an iron body — incredibly funny, endlessly affectionate and always up for a laugh. He has a strong will and an even stronger personality, and he prefers to set his own agenda. But when well raised and sufficiently challenged, he is one of the most devoted and entertaining dogs that exist.
