How to Groom a Bull Terrier
The Bull Terrier is a muscular, powerful, medium-sized dog with triangle-shaped eyes and pricked ears. Their appearance differs from other terriers in that they have long muzzles, which protrude downward. They have extremely short-haired coats, which are smooth and typically predominantly white, although some appear in a variety of such colors as red, fawn, tri-color or black. Bull Terriers are easy to groom.

Clip his whiskers every one to two months with blunt-nosed scissors. Not every owner chooses to keep their Bull Terrier's whiskers clipped.

Bathe her every two to three months with a shampoo recommended by your vet, breeder or pet store. If you own a white Bull Terrier, a good quality whitening shampoo improves her dull white coat.
