Can they get along with other dogs?

Hey everyone I have a question regarding people's experience with dog aggression and bull terriers. I adopted a 4 month old bull terrier January 2021. He had come from a byb. His parents were full siblings which made him inbred and he had no socialization. From the start he did great with me and got along with my 2 pugs but always HATED kids. I did positive reinforcement training with him and tried socializing him. I think the damage was done though and the aggression got worse. He tried to bite multiple people and ended up killing a dog (my boyfriend's). The veterinarian I work for and my dog trainer both agreed euthanasia was needed in this case. It killed me but now that I've had a bull terrier I can't imagine life without one. With proper socialization, training, and good bloodlines can they get along with other dogs? I believe they can but I want to hear from other owners.

The key is to find a reputable breeder that raises Bull Terriers with excellent temperament. They can great with other dogs but if they are coming from a breeder with poor genetics you take the risk of getting a Bull Terrier with temperament issues as well as health issues.

Here's 5 of mine waiting for their dinner:

That’s a beautiful family gathering in your kitchen Steve! I bet you don’t have much room to move around as they wait in anticipation….I slide my two on a large rug to get them away from the dishwasher or bench area that I want access too if they’re asleep????

Yes. There are best friends. I do have to kept an eye on my bully because shes a pup and still learning how to play gently with my tiny maltese. Like Steve said above good breeder is key.

What adorable pics
Yes my Memphis gets a bit triggered with my cat and if I don’t intervene early he is naughty and now Moose thinks it’s ok too to chase the cat
You can never truly let your guard down with a bully

My message erased mmmm

Yes you have to be on top of it all the time with a bully. My Memphis gets triggered with my cat but I have to intervene early and then it’s fine whilst he’s still learning lol
