My mums EBT/Staff had a pink wubbery belly just like that /\ One day the dog was sleeping on her back just like that so I sneaked up to her and blew a big raspberry on the dogs belly

Hahaha there is nothing better in life than doing that!!! I like the smell of her trotters! They smell like a old mocason slipper (sorry my spelling is not great)!

She loves a ice lolly!

You’ll soon learn that she loves everything. Really. Everything.

Luckily Lou isn’t a chewer of human things but she’ll demolish most toys in minutes. Even the stuff labelled as super tough.

EBT’s are unbelievably strong when it comes to ripping toys to pieces.
You’ll become that weird guy you’ve seen in the pets shop slowly squeezing and feeling each toy they sell with a pondering look in his face.

On the point of strong jaws i let her out for a wee today and had to stop her chewing the house brickwork! I took a video and you can hear the crunching! She is not a dog she is a velosoraptor!!!

Lou tried to eat her way through the kitchen wall when she was little.



That pic brings back memories.

[PistonGuy66]

Have you got any top tips with them? I have been told they are very stubbon?

[pidsy]

Hahahahahahahaha!

Yes. Moderately stubborn.

It’s worth having a read right back through this thread for info - the owners on here are a great bunch.

They must have socialisation.

They need structure and routine.

They need to know their position in the family.

Where in the uk are you?

[PistonGuy66]

We are in Essex. We had a staffy that we lost 2 years ago so we are not 1st time dog owners,but just want to get it right with her

As for the pecking order its normally the wife the dog then me!!

My staffy Duncan is a very different dog to Lou!!

Wen lockdown is over I could bring the pointy faced idiot to meet your little one.

One thing of note is that owing to the shape of their head and their wide neck, they can and will slip pretty much any collar you use if you attach your lead to it.

Bullybillows have a great range of collars that help with this. The padded Ramsey range is what Lou has and she hasn’t slipped it yet.

[PistonGuy66]

Thanks for that,our staff wasnt good round other dogs as she wasnt socialised and it was a problem (our fault) if you are local to us that would be great. She has her lastt jab in Feb.

[pidsy]

Bit further round the m25. Stanmore.

Yeah. Remind me wen he’s ready for the world. Lou can show him what it’s like to be up ended and sniffed.

[IPK]

Pretending that he his deaf to the word “walk”.

Not sure where you are in Essex, but there are a few good Bull terrier groups on FB who do local walks in and around Kent and Essex, so you get to walk with a bunch of other nutty dogs.. Luke from Luden Automotive (Luke Harding on here) has Frank and is Essex based, worth a follow on Instragram and Twitter if you use them..

We are Kent based and have Finlay, who is a typical Bull Terrier i.e. nuts.. We actually had two, but had to re-home one just before Christmas, as the two boys just didn't get on and after one fight too many, we made the tough decision to re-home, Milo has gone to a really lovely retired couple and is living the life of Riley..

Which has brought out the best in Fin, who is now the most chilled dog I have ever owned... except of course when the inner Bullie comes out ..

This is so true. Lottie just likes to disembowel every toy, she is only a Mini but very powerful. We try not to buy anything with a squeaker in it as this will be the first thing she tries to remove, she is good at keyhole surgery. The only toy that seems to have stood up to her is the Kong Wubba.
Gorgeous puppy pics - more please

Lottie will chew on bricks, she now has a large Chewroot & it keeps her quiet for ages.
