Why do some people judge a book by its Cover? Bully =(
I just got my little baby terrier his name is chucho he is adorable, the biggest cuddle bug in the world. I took him for a walk and I got so much negative comments. That he was a bad dog, that the breed was a deadly one ect. I was very upset and I gave it back to them! I did a google search and the same comments popped up there was so much negativity "people that have terriers should burn in hell fall in a hole" ect.
Its awful I love my pup and I believe your dog will be the way you raise or train him to be.. Has anyone else experienced this negativity?

It's probably the people. The miseducated and ignorant. I'd just ignore it if you can.
does he look dangerous! =( He looks like a gorgeous harmless baby! =( IGNORANCE IS BLISS =(
thank you soapkid and leslie
It takes a real jerk for any person to come up to a stranger (or even someone they know) and criticize their dog. true dog lovers, no matter what breed they love, realize dogs are cherished as family members and saying anything negative about them is no different than telling someone they have an ugly baby. Any person with that kind of ignorance is someone I'd wish to stand clear of.
The Bull Terrier is the Gladiator of all dog breeds and demands respect by all those fortunate enough to come into contact with one.

With any luck, he will be well-behaved and set a good example for the breed making "that guy" look silly for even spewing such horse crap.
Even when I got him I found a day care that did had a clean facility for puppy socials every Saturday that had personal trainers to observe them for an hour at for only five bucks a social. I did this for four weeks until he was 15-16 weeks and on his third set of vaccinations then started taking him to the dog parks but very slowly.
Now he goes twice a day and everyone loves him there because of his energy to play with their dogs. The park near my house is perfect for me as the other one with stuck up people was a few miles away in a much nicer area.
Oh yea never mentioned my name and its Mike. I'll post a picture of Spud and I soon.

Well behaved or not those come with the territory...
I think it mainly comes from lack of education. I have to
admit I had some misconceptions of Bullies before I did my research. But it was
nowhere to what people say or do when they meet mine on the walks. A lot of the
times I hear, ohh look it’s a Pit Bull as they grab their children and move to
the other side of the street. If they can’t even recognize the dogs breed I can
only image what they think of them.
I guess I am used to it. I forgive their Ignorance. Once upon a time my wife and I never knew the truth, that EBTs are the best. Now I just can't see ever owning anything different. Once at our vet I had our 7 babies in for thier 6 week shots. As usual all the vet techs know we are coming and steal our babies. Leaving 1 puppy on my lap and 1 on my daughters. There was a lady that had her Pit Bull in which looked like it just had a litter recently. She could not believe I just let them run off with the puppies. I said if you can trust them to vaccinate and do a check up on them why not hold them. She ever so politely said she does their own shots because it is so easy and not worth the cost of taking them to the vet. I hope they get better care at their new home. Anyway her dog wanted to growl at my puppies. They both started to bark at her and when their siblings heard they started in across the vet office. She told me they were aggressive and asked what kind they were. I politely told her English Bull Terriers, not to be confused with Pit Bulls. She told me the usual that they looked like baby pigs. I said there must be alot of people wanting baby pigs because they are sold the day they are born. The real kicker is when her daughter said Oh Mommie those are Target dogs. That's what I have always wanted. You could have heard a pin drop until she walked out. Then there was laughter!!
Ignorance...yep you're right. That's what I told my landlord. Only, my landlord is my Sister! (She's a cat person) She wants us to get rid of Willie, because she went through an aggressive stage. She's fine now, we just keep food up when she comes in. She will go after Buster, our lab. But....there's a whole new dog when she plays with Claxxton. SHE shows submission.
Any time I take Willie out everyone LOVES her. Especially men. And now Claxxton, they take out their phones and take pictures! I would have no trouble taking orders for puppies. I get no negative in the public. Just my silly Sister! LOL
