What health problems have you had with your Bull Terriers?

All conscientious breeders endeavor to produce healthy stock.  However, even with the use of tested stock and screening the ancestral background for health issues, problems still occur.  No one, not you, not the breeder want to have the painful experience of a young dog who develops a

health issue.  Still it occurs.  A reputable breeder will be there to help guide you and support through the process.  If unfortunately, a problem occurs early in a dog’s life, a reputable breeder will offer a replacement or refund.  As uncomfortable as it is to think and talk about this, these terms should be spelled out in a Sales Contract at the time of purchase.

Disreputable people will tell you they never have problems with their dogs.  If they’ve bred less than a handful of litters, that may be true.  Unfortunately for us as breeders and you as owners, eventually a problem does crop up despite all our best efforts.
