The Spanish Bull Terrier, English name: TheSpanishbullterrier, is originally from the Balearic Islands. It belongs to the mastiff family and has a broad head, glossy and close-fitting coat, wide and muscular chest, and strong hind legs. Because of its fierce appearance and serious expression, it is intimidating. Originally used for bullfighting activities in the 19th century Spain, but now limited due to the illegality of bullfighting, its numbers are also slowly decreasing.
The Spanish Bull Terrier originated from bullfighting activities in the 19th century. Due to the popularity of bullfighting in Spain at that time, many fierce dog breeds were bred, and many of today's fierce dog breeds have also developed from them. It has an independent and ferocious personality, and many people dare not provoke it. If you encounter it outside, you should run away and hide quickly. Do not stare at it or approach it, as its strong aggressiveness may threaten human life. Originally, this dog was used for warfare, but when there was no more war, it was developed to fight bulls. Because of its bravery and love of fighting, it even seized the bullfighters' livelihoods and eventually became a direct fight between bulls and dogs.
The Spanish Bull Terrier, also known as TheSpanishbullterrier, was previously mainly used to lure bulls and for fighting. Its independence, ferocious temperament, and extreme aggressiveness determine that it is most suitable for guarding the safety of villas, warehouses, farms, or ranches and requires professional training. After training, it becomes a reliable guardian and fighter, but it is not suitable for domestication and is prone to accidents causing injury.
1, Heart disease
Dogs with heart disease are often associated with obesity and old age. When dogs have heart disease, they mainly show symptoms of easy fatigue and difficulty breathing. It is difficult to detect heart disease in dogs, and often owners only discover it when their dogs are seriously ill.
2, Infectious diseases
Canine distemper and canine parvovirus are common and highly deadly infectious diseases in dogs. Dogs that have not been vaccinated in a timely manner are prone to these two infectious diseases, and once infected, they may show symptoms such as lethargy, decreased appetite, elevated body temperature, vomiting, and diarrhea.
3, Kidney disease
When it comes to common diseases and symptoms in dogs, kidney disease cannot be ignored. The terrible thing about dog kidney disease is that it often occurs unnoticed, and when owners realize it, their dogs' kidney cells have been damaged more than 75%. When dogs have kidney problems, the symptoms are usually bloody urine, abnormal urine color, and changes in urinating habits.
4, Parasites
Intestinal parasites such as roundworms and hookworms, as well as heartworms, are common parasites that infect dogs. When dogs are infected with gastrointestinal parasites, the main symptoms include emaciation, lethargy, diarrhea, presence of worms in the stool, pale gums, etc. Heartworms, on the other hand, are parasites that live in the dog's heart. After dogs are infected, they may experience symptoms such as decreased vitality, coughing, anemia, wheezing, and ascites.
5, Canine pneumonia
Pneumonia is also a common disease in dogs, but it is often a complication of other diseases. It often occurs in dogs with abnormal upper respiratory tract, bacterial infection, canine distemper infection, viral influenza, impaired lung function, and heartworm infection. Coughing, nasal congestion, and elevated body temperature are the main symptoms of canine pneumonia.
1. The Spanish Bull Terrier likes warm and dry environments. If the kennel is set outdoors, it is best to have a certain distance between the kennel and the ground so that insects and some bacteria on the ground will not invade the kennel.
2. Because of its combative nature and love for exercise, it requires more exercise than general dog breeds. It can go out twice a day for about 30 minutes each time. However, due to its strong aggression, it is necessary to use a dog leash when going out.
3. The Spanish Bull Terrier's fur is relatively easy to care for. Just use a brush to remove the naturally shed dead hair regularly. The process of grooming has a massaging effect, which promotes blood circulation and makes the coat more shiny.
4. The Spanish Bull Terrier can be bathed every two weeks to a month. When bathing, be sure to rinse off all the bath products with clean water, as residual bath products may cause allergies to the Bull Terrier's skin. In addition, be sure to use its special shampoo, otherwise unsuitable shampoos with different acidity and alkalinity may harm its skin and affect the formation of the skin's protective film of oils.
1, Do not bathe too frequently
When bathing a dog, it should not be too frequent. The frequency of bathing depends on the dog's hygiene. In hot weather in summer, you can bathe them one or two more times. In winter, you can reduce it by one or two times, but in general, it should not exceed 5 times. Otherwise, it will damage their fur and skin!
2, Regularly brush the hair
Dogs shed almost every day, especially in spring and autumn. To promote healthy hair growth, regular brushing is important. Pet owners can use a pet-specific comb to help the dog remove natural shed hair and prevent tangles. Brushing once in the morning and once in the evening for about five minutes each time is enough.
3, Sunbathe
Sunbathing is beneficial for dog hair growth. In addition to making the fur more shiny, it can also help kill bacteria. While sunbathing, owners can let their dogs exercise a bit to improve their physical fitness, promote blood circulation, and help grow healthier fur.
4, Deworming
Poor hair condition is also closely related to parasites. Parasites absorb a large amount of the dog's nutrients and compete for nutrition. Therefore, deworming is essential. It is recommended to do both internal and external deworming. Deworming medicine can cause significant damage to a dog's gastrointestinal system, so it is advisable to feed them probiotics to alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort.
5, Pay attention to diet
In order for a dog to have beautiful fur, it is necessary to establish a good nutritional foundation and pay attention to their daily diet. On the one hand, feed them nutritious and healthy dog food that is suitable and adequate for their needs. On the other hand, you can also give them a moderate amount of lean meat, cooked egg yolks, and vegetable oil.
