    Was wondering where he disappeared to, remember seeing you put up pics of him as a pup! He has grown into a fantastic looking dog :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 939 ✭✭✭chriity139


    Thank you :D alot of hard work has been put into him but it has all been worth it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,006 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    Is he a complete loonatic? Any bull terriers I've met have been clowns!

    Tell me about it!! I have a Shih Tzu who thinks he's human, and graciously allows us to share our (king size) bed with him. He gets the lions share of the bed, and hubby & I hang off the edges...

    Funny - that used to happen with the cat too :pac:

    Bruno cant get upstairs YET as he hasn't figured out that he could easily jump the child gate on the stairs. We have another little mix breed. Every morning I wake up rammed against the wall with her stretched out. She must nudge me over every now and again during the night. I'd say once I let bruno stay on the bed I will wake up on the floor :D

    Yes I would love to enter him in Championship Dog shows but at the moment I just dont have the time being in my final year of college. I would like to give it a shot after I graduate but I dont really know how to get into it

    ah the poor thing hahaha. Thats bruno doing his rally :D he does it anywhere its so funny to watch especially when he does it on an armchair and ends up upside down with his legs in the air. Does he stop rallying ? no it continues they he gets angry when he gets stuck :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭andreac


    Ah right. Well you should try pop along to a show anyway and see how it works. Theres one on the 27th December in Swords. Have a nosy at the Bullies and see how it works etc and chat to some of the exhibitors.

    Then you should try bringing him to ringcraft classes and train him for the ring. At least then when you can go to the shows he would know what to do and you too.

    Theres classes on every Tues night in Cloghran. Do you live nearby?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,456 ✭✭✭westies4ever


    big silly smiley head on him. what a fab dog.

    I live about 20 minutes from swords so I might pop up and see. I would imagine ger cox will be there, if so I might chat to him about showing bruno as he is one of gers litters.

    Id love to get him into ringcraft classes as he is not the most patient when it comes to showing him in the ring (club competitions)

    Where is cloghran ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭andreac


    Oh is he one of Gers? Thats great. As far as i know Ger is judging that day, so he wont be showing but he will be around.
    Cloghran is where all the shows are held, The National Show Centre there, just off the Old Swords road. If you are coming from the airport, its on the right there before Airside retail park.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 939 ✭✭✭chriity139


    I no where your talking about, before I decided to get a bull I went up there to talk to ger about the breed and what I was in for. Yeah his father is tyson cant remember the name of the mother but they are both gers dogs anyway so he has good bloodlines.

    Will you be showing your rottie at the show ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭andreac


    Oh i wonder is it his lovely female he has, Buffy or Duffy, can never remember what it is, but shes fab if its her.

    Im not sure if ill def be showing. Hes already top Rottweiler for 2012 and cant be beaten so i might not show, give him a break, but ill be there anyway. If are around the rottweiler ring and spot me, come and say hi. Would love to meet your guy if you have him with you.

    I love bullies. Would have one in the morning but OH thinks they're ugly.

    He looks in great shape, I love bulls myself, I used to keep them when I was younger. My life does just not allow me to keep a dog at the moment, I would love another bull but I couldn't give him the care they deserve.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 462 ✭✭LisaO


    He is gorgeous. I want a Bruno!!

    its a female which came from one of gers litters, shes a great example of a female bully. Can stick up pics of the father and mother if you like, the mare is an absolute monster.

    Are you bringing him to the show, would love to see him as he looks amazing from the pics. I will be bringing bruno down to the show to give him a day out so you are welcome to get to know him :D

    How long have you been into dog showing

    English Bulls, had a lovely black, white and brindle one, then there was bullseye, he was the classic Oliver look a like hence the name.

    They sound lovely :D first one has the same colours as bruno. Wouldnt mind another one to keep bruno company but id say it would be worse than having 2 young children haha

    Always loved these dogs
    Just look like such proud dogs
    What their temperament like as regards to kids and others dogs
    ie very large Akita

    its honestly depends how they are brought up, if you have kids around them when they are pups and get use to them their fine, with other dogs i can find bruno is very playful but giving his power the play usually turns into bruno pushing them about.

    Bruno wouldnt be too keen on kids, he doesnt know what they are with all the screams from them.

    If your considering a bull and would like to meet one im in dublin so I could let you meet bruno and decide for yourself on their temperment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,203 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    Hi
    Not really considering one always loved them I'm a bit of a hunter so it'll always be a hunting dog I'd have like German pointer or any pointer for that matter
    The Akita was just a spur of moment and he's just been a brilliant dog
    I was just askin as I heard they aren't best of dogs when it comes to other breeds but can be quite protective of their family so was just wondering about their temperament
    My father always loved them and I know he'd love one but like myself a pointer is what we'd be going for
    He really is a smashing dog that you have
    Really proud looking

    Hi


    I was just askin as I heard they aren't best of dogs when it comes to other breeds but can be quite protective of their family so was just wondering about their temperament

    Thats just got to do with how they are raised and socialised when young just like every dog never mind the powerful breeds. Bruno has never had a bad run in with any dog small or huge. He just plays with them or he can calm them down if they become aggressive towards him which is amazing to see.

    But yes he is very very protective of his property and his family.

    If you have any other questions regarding the breed dont be afraid to ask, Im no expert on the breed but after owning one for nearly 2 years I no my fair share :)

    Just want to jump in and say he is fantastic looking where I live there misunderstood much the same as our dog (doberman) but he looks so pleasant and I bet he's got real character
