What Belle7 is trying to tell you about is actually called a BAER test (brainstem auditory evoked response) not a "BEAR" test. A BEAR is an animal that lives out in the woods. Deafness is a genetic disorder associated with Bull Terriers. Breeding white on white or having too many white anchestors within the 4 generation pedigree can heighten the chances of this disorder. Conduct proper research on reputable breeders to ensure you're getting one from a breeder that tests for ALL disorders associated with the Bull Terrier breed. Here's some useful information: http://bulliesofnc.com/finding-reputable-bull-terrier-breeder

I have a 6mo old bullie female, she was born deaf. She was alittle harder to train but she is very sweet towards people. And she does fairly well around other dogs.

If a bull terrier is deaf it would have been born deaf, your puppy should have the BEAR (hearing testing) done and you should get a copy of the BEAR testing with the results. I know of deaf bullies and have never heard of them being aggressive due to deafness.

Try taping them up with a masking tape that people use for bandage. Leave on for a few days. His or Her ears are heavy thick ears, we have a bully George and yes we taped his ears up. Also rub his ears to increase the blood flow.
belle7 - 4/25/2012 9:52:50 PM
You might not have a pure bully there. The ears start to perk up quite early but, of course, as with any animal there exceptions to the rule. Don't worry though, bullies are great dogs despite the ears ;-)

Check out the Bull Terrier Club of America, there they list size and weight and shape of body, head and what is standard. Some bullies are slow to mature and most are not done maturing till 2 or 3 years old that is filling out, weight ect.. You still have a puppy. We have three bullies and all 2 females did not mature till almost 3 years old. Average weight for a female is 45 pounds.
belle7 - 4/25/2012 9:55:56 PM
A healthy diet and A LOT of exercise is essential for these firecrackers. If you have a white bully you have to be careful with food bc of skin problems. 11 months is not that old as most bull terriers stop growing in height at around a year and a half to 2 years. After that they build up muscle. But the more you let them run the bigger they get.

Check out the Bull Terrier Club of America this is where you can find out health conerns and any informations. A Healthy Bull can live up to 14 years of age maybe longer. Skin is the number one issue. Along with Heart and Kidney, if parents are tested for this prior to breeding you have a good chance of getting a puppy that is health and will not have heart or kidney issues. Deafness, parents should have had the BEAR testing for this along with puppies it is called a BEAR test, if a bully is deaf they should not be used for breeding as they will passs this on.
belle7 - 4/25/2012 10:03:19 PM
bullies are not known for extreme health issues. The only thing I have experienced is skin problems ( easily corrected with a proper diet), some neurotic gnawing and licking and deafness ( specially for full white ones). Other than that no worries!

Anonymous - 12/30/2011 4:43:06 PM
Respond to Question
Do you really???? My BT just had a litter of pups 1 week ago and I have not had much sleep in those seven days. While she is a "good" mother, she is a little clumsy and you will have to supervise her being with the brood for the first two weeks, or until they open their eyes and can avoid mom's clumsy feet and bum! They are also very hard to birth and will require your assistance in cutting cords, breaking the birth sacs, etc. I had two pups not make it, one was still born and one was an underdeveloped runt that lacked the strength to survive, but that is natures way. If she has just come in heat, she will have a fairly heavy discharge to begin with and then it will taper off. You should all ready have a sire in mind and time lined up with the dog's owner. Also, some BT bitches are finicky as to which male they will go with, mine had a choice of two. She liked one and would fight the other.

QUESTION: My Bullie is 20 months old. He is great! His parents are both champions and he showed well as a young pup. His ears are HUGE, and we started taping at 12 weeks because of the size. poor guy when through taping after taping for weeks on end. His ears would stay up for about a week, then flop down. finally at a year we stopped and they have fallen. Is there anything anyone would suggest to try before we give up? (we refuse to try cosmetic surgery) He fits the breed standard to a tea and we would love to give the show ring another shot before we neuter him! Thanks!

If i thought that showing or ear taping made him miserable, I would never consider looking more into it at his age. I was also given the number to a surgeon in SoCal who will do a cosmetic surgery on Bullies that stands their ears up (not cropping, more like an ear lift with a suture in the back of the base). I will NOT be having cosmetic surgery preformed. His ears standing up would be nice, but I would risk him harm to have it done. Any way. I just don't want to seem like so psycho owner who is sitting on her poor resistant dog every week and forcing tape and e-collars on him and making his quality of life poor for vanity or an owner who went out looking for a show dog and was disappointed that she got a "dud". We love every part of him with out conditions! He is a dream (a handful! but a dream). His ears won't change that. :o)

He said he would try a bandage he would like to leave on for three days, but the probability of it last more then a few hours was pretty high. I told him he didn't mind as a puppy but we would see. After all the glueing and bandaging was finished, te vet put him on the floor and said "Ok, let's watch for a few minutes and see how badly it bothers him. He might need an e-collar". Our little bully, clearly annoyed with being at the vet, walked to the exam room door, sat down and let out a big sigh. After a minute he realized we weren't leaving and walked over to myself and the vet and sat between us, looking up as as if to say "OK if we aren't leaving could I have a cookie? a pet? SOMETHING?" I removed the bandages three days later and his ear is back to it's cute normal floppy self.

As far as the taping goes, he could care less. Lays in my lap patiently while the tape goes on and then acts as if nothing happened while his ears are taped. When his ears wouldn't go up at first I was relieved - because I thought that it was a loop hole in the contract that meant we didn't have to show him. But after watching his attitude with showing, I started to rethink it. This was further reinforced a few weeks ago - he and the GSD were playing in the yard with a toy. The GSD went for the toy right as our Bully turned away and the GSD caught the bottom of his ear. We couldn't stop the bleeding (it wasn't a big wound but those ears seem to bleed and bleed and bleed) and so we went down to the vet. The vet glued the wound opening closed, fretting the whole time because dogs tend to be really bothered by things on the ears and tend to reopen them quickly.

We have left it alone for quite some time - although you say "Poor Guy" as if it is cruel - and he is miserable. I just would like to clarify that - we didn't buy him to show him. I had researched the breed for years and happened to end up with a client who was an amazing amazing breeder with excellent ref. I got to visit him in her home every week until 10 weeks when we brought him home, all recommended vet visits, treatments, vaccines and deworming were current. I had to agree in his contract to show him and I was not enthusiastic about it (our other dogs are rescues).... until I went to his first show. He LOVES it. No joke. He prances like it is the thing to do and loves loves loves the attention he gets! When you offer him a cookie at him he will "stack" himself with out prompt - one rear foot slightly back, head up, front paws together. I never understood showing until he came into our lives!

I have an all white male bull terrier and he is also deaf. Although you can't get arrested for it, breeding a deaf dog of this breed is frowned upon. Its against akc regulations. Deafness in this breed is hereditary and therefore breeding a known deafseat dog would be, in my eyes a mistake leading to possible deaf offspring.

QUESTION: Aloha,
Up until Thursday evening we had a 4yr. old bull terrier named Koa. He was fine and happy as usual acting like his normal self. But, yesterday 8/26 when my husband went to his kennel to feed him he was dead. Now, my question is, is that common for a dog to just drop dead overnight while being his spunky normal self and healthy the day before? In my gut, I feel like someone did something to him, maybe poison him, I truly don't know. I wanted to take him to the vet and have an autopsy done, but my husband was too heart broken he didn't want to. So is this a common thing?

Bullies are known to not be big barks, they will bark if something is wrong. Unless they are deaf, ask your vet where you can get the BEAR testing done to determine this. It is normal at a U or M vet for your state, pups are inexpensive, adults cost more.

Is it possible your bull terrier is deaf? Does he have one or two blue eyes? they tend to be deaf more often. Are the sire and dam white bull terriers? By breeding too much white together or where there are all white pups as litter mates with no colored siblings, you might have some to total deafness in these pups. possibly you need to have your vet do a Baer hearing test. If you bought your dog from a breeder and they are breeding 2 white dogs together, they should have had the pups Baer hearing tests done on all the puppies in that litter or at least guaranteed them to not be deaf. Any responsible Bull Terrier breeder should because it's very well known about this breed.
