Male versus female personalities in EBT
I am just curious why so many EBT breeders tell me the same thing about the personality differences in genders. I mostly get the male EBT'S are like the big buff lovable dumb jocks and the females are the smart innovative creative feisty bitches always causing trouble. Is this the case the majority of time in genders of this breed. I am not trying to be sexist since I know there are exceptions to the rule but why are so many breeders saying the same thing.

In all actuality it's my males that are more energetic than my females. However, if I were to compare Rocky to Nitro there's a big difference in their energy level, loyalty, fiestyness, etc. The difference in my opinion is their bloodlines. The same would go if I were to compare Cyra to Makoa as they both have completely different personalities.
A few months ago both Trent (Blitzkrieg Bullies) and I were comparing Deuce with Schilo who are litter mate sisters and now that they are over a year old we can note the differences within both personality and appearance.
BT's go through many personality changes as they get older and their temperament, energy, and tolerances are hard to predict regardless of gender. It's obvious that all BT's (as with many other breeds) calm down considerably as the get older and become less active especially if they are an only dog.
My personal opinion is that the females are the ones that have a tendency to be a little more intelligent, loyal, less hyper, and easier to manage than the males which can remain in the stubborn stage for prolonged period of time.
Currently Kolohe is our oldest BT and she's always been calm, cool, and collected. She was very easy to train and has always been the most loyal companion you could ever ask for. She's laid back in her ways now, gained a few unwanted pounds, and is keeps her distance from the younger Bullies showing too much energy. As a matter of fact if Kolohe is at the door asking to go out and I open the door for her and another young Bullie darts past her to head out the door she'll stop, look up at me, and walk back in the house as though she's saying "forget it, I'll go back out later when he decides to come back in."
Here's my favorite video of Kolohe:

Another set of bullterriers that i never had the pleasure of knowing one that has an irrepehensible temperament are the ones with a pronounced roman nose.
And another point i gave a lot of thought was the lack of bloodlines with excellent temperament, at least I don't know, but if bulliesofnc knows, please enlight me, especially in europe or south africa (here even boerboels have better temperament than pretty much every bull terrier i knew both in europe or us)
Kolohe was an awesome Bull Terrier. She was only bred once and we scheduled her to be bred to a known Champion Stud from reputable bloodlines as well. Unfortunately, the stud owner didn't keep this stud actively breeding and never purged the stud on a scheduled basis. So let's just say the breeding wasn't as "fresh" as it should have been. Kolohe didn't get pregnant but within about week after breeding she developed Pyometra which required immediate surgery and medical attention. It was necessary for her to be spayed due to the infection. With this said, she never was bred again and never produced a litter which was sad for us. However, Kolohe gave us 13 years of loving companionship. She passed away last year and we still miss her dearly.
