Folks don't come in the yard anymore, not for about 6 years and we now have the gates locked after the pigging type breeds started going missing from the yards. One little girl use to say weeo knocked me over and licked me all over :laugh:

Yes to both and what I'd love is for people to be able to walk up to hime without him going crazy and jumping all over them.

06/12/14 and he's breath is still fresh and yes we do give him the Turkey necks, crunch, crunch, crunch. All our Bull Terriers have had unbelievable strong teeth because he grinds away on the bones and he's teeth are fine. Hows this for a picture of him and his bone.

Well lets see, From day one he's always been way too friendly and even with his basic obedience training as a puppy he didn't change much. When we selected him we looked at both his parents and they were both very quiet but then again thinking back they were show dogs. He's an only dog but we have next door neighbors with dogs and a chain mesh fencing so they can see each other and he and the others and him on both side love running around the fence talking and playing. We also let them play together in our yard of an afternoon and they play fine with only a little bit of humping but the girl dogs puts him in his place and that's were that ends. He had basic training as a puppy but he was only interested in playing with the other dogs and he's had several lots of youtube home training since which worked well because he now takes no notice of people or dogs when out walking but this is from a distance of 10 feet or more, then again this also could be because he's matured. Kids from down the road come into our yard when were not there and he plays fine with them actually when hes at home by himself folks can come in and hes quiet with no being crazy but when were there is a different story. His and our days starts at 5 when we go for a short walk around the block and then he's at home alone until lunch, we only work a kilometer away so its just a quick bike ride home then at 6 its out for his longer walkies usually 2 hours during the cooler months and only 30 minutes during the summer months because hes not a fan of walking during the hotter months and I think he only goes so he can swim in the creek at the park. What I have found interesting is that at the dog park if the dogs are smaller than him he doesn't go crazy with them and plays fine but if the dogs are taller then its crazy time again. Other than that hes just a big crazy boof headed Bully who loves his kisses and cuddles and spending his days laying on the lounges. Here he is laying on(his)lounge when were under the house during summer.

Thanks guys, if its just a health thing then he's keeping his because all our Bullys have kept there's and they've all lived to be 12 plus with no down stairs problems, hey its a bloke thing. I to thought desexing him at 8 wouldn't do a thing. We've tried the Bark Busters training program and when he's alone at home with the other animals he's very calm and sometimes he couldn't be bothered with the training but then again at home isn't the problem. Then as soon as we go for walkies or down to the park all his training goes out the window and he goes back to his old self. We've been doing the training for several months and it hasn't made any difference so does anyone know of other Queensland training programs suitable to a crazy male Bully and it would need to be an internet program because we live in outback Queensland. We drove 600klms to see Bark Busters so doing this again won't be happening.

Hey just wonder if there would be any benefits to have my Bull Terrier neutered at the age of 8. I was at the vet recently and she said have I ever given any thought to having him sexed to quieten him down. He's always been just too friendly and goes way too crazy around other people and dogs, absolutely no aggression toward anyone human or animal. Now that our town has a dog park I've tried Dog Busters which would work if I had 8 hours a day to reprogram him.

Oh my dog, the second photo looks the same as the wife but no wet nose.

I took him back the day after I posted my question and they couldn't find anything wrong and I mentioned his teeth and again nothing unusual there but they did mention that his teeth are very clean and in great condition for a 8 year old Bull Terrier who loves his cow knee bones. The only thing I have changed is no more kangaroo meat bones and amazingly his breath is back to normal so was it that or did it just improve all by itself. Now were back to his kisses and cuddles of a morning, LOL.

Does S.A have Woollies because in Queensland there readily available from the pet meat section.

I have an 8 year old male Bull Terrier who for the last month has had a smelly breath. 3 weeks ago I mentioned this to the vet at his yearly injections so they checked his heart and stomach and said he's fine but the breath hasn't improved and if anything its even worse because I can now smell his breath and him from 20 feet away. I've checked his teeth and his mouth for trapped bones and its all clear so I'm wondering what else can cause prolonged bad breath in dogs.
