Bull terriers
Among canine representatives, bull terriers do not look too attractive and friendly. Some even call them freaks. Looking at the egg-shaped head, short hair, small slanting rat eyes, it is difficult to believe in the friendliness of these creatures. Indeed, bull terriers are active participants in dog fights. They consider their grip “dead”, and hardly anyone will want to meet the bull terrier in the dark alley one on one. Representatives of this breed are considered one of the most powerful among dogs.
