Hey everybody I just would like to introduce my new puppy, Selah from Bullies of NC! We have only had her a day, but she has taken over our house and our hearts!
Unfortunitely UTI's are something that can occur from so many things that it is always hard to determine what caused it. It's obviously something more common amongst female dogs than males. Many people feel it normally comes from holding in urine for prolonged period of times and I agree that can often cause a UTI. However, I don't think that's always the case. Any form of bacteria that comes in contact with a dog can cause a UTI. One dog mounting and/or humping another dog can cause an infection. Obviously there can be many different causes but UTI's are something that can be resolved quickly and safely with medication.
Don't be surprised if Selah did hold in her pee and poop all day though. Many others on this forum will tell you that crate training is something that comes pretty naturally with bull Terriers because they actually enjoy their kennels. It kind of brings the wild "Dog Den" feeling of security to them. On the same note, it's rare that you'll see a BT relieve themselves in their kennel unless their bladder just can't handle it anymore. They will try their best to hold it in for as long as possible which as we all know can cause problems. It wouldn't surprise me if Selah did in fact hold her bladder all day while kenneled.
Again though, there's really no clear way of knowing what the actual cause was. I hope Selah starts to feel better real soon which I'm sure she will.

It'll probably go up all by itself but I actually like to start getting the ears up a little sooner by taping. I bet if you taped the ears just one time they'd be both up for good.

She is gergous yoshirican I find it sooo funny how they all have huge ears I cant wait to see how all these puppys grow and what they going to look like its fab .
Thank you Steve, and yes miserable outside! The mosquitos are soooo bad right now! They are even bothering Selah! Today was a day we really didnt stay long out there, Selah just wanted to do her business and head back in the house... Wish it wasn't so blurgh out there!
We are thinking about putting her on the police force as an attack dog and possibly training her as a tracker. We haven't decided just yet, but will keep you informed if we do!
I see you photoshopped the pictures again.... Do really think we don't know that you erase those nylon wires you have up to those two helium filled balloons that keep her ears up like that?
In the beginning God created English Bull Terriers, in the image of EBT's, God created all other breeds.
She sure is nice looking. She appears to be very attentive to you as well. Usually BT puppies at her age are 100mph and taking photos of them is near impossible. )

That was a really cool video. Selah has nice movements and looks great. That tennis ball won't last her too long. You're going to have to upgrade to a Kong ball pretty soon.

Hahaha I noticed you live in Scranton, does Dunder Mifflin ring a bell? But anyways your young one looks great and it looks like she's trusting you a lot earlier than my Spud.
I do, but in SC so not sure what Dunder mifflin is lol! Thanks and yours looks great too! She still has her puppy tendencies of course, but overall she is so eager to please which is showing to have the right personality and attentiveness for training!
Another Update, I know it seems too soon, but I think she has grown a bit! Ok I am borderline obsessed with my Selah! >:D< LOL I dont think there is a cure for this either!
