I've always had a soft spot for bull terriers but I know I don't have the personality to control a big (dangerous) dog. So I will stick to cats. We had a Staffie/Bull Terrier cross once and he was a sweetheart, but was killed by the neighbours Pit Bulls. I think they left their gate open on purpose.

When I was a child we used to go camping with friends who had a BT. I remember they would let it bite on a stick and it wouldn't let go no matter what! They would even swing him in circles in the air. It disturbed me.
