Absolute Dez
Absolute Dez 6 year old mini Bull Terrier looking for his forever home.
This is the assessment from his foster parents
Absolute Dez has been with us in foster care for just over 2 months now & he is fantastic dog; a
very typical bull terrier! He was very stressed when he arrived with us, so we’ve given him plenty
of time to settle before he moves on to his forever home. We do think he’ll take a few weeks to
Dez is a playful, lively boy who enjoys running around with a tennis ball as much as cuddling on
the sofa. He enjoys going for walks, though does cower / run away from his harness when you
get it out to put it on - once it’s on, he’s completely fine. Like a typical bull terrier, he can put the
anchors on if he doesn’t want to go anywhere, but we’ve seen much less of that as time has
gone on. He walks well on a lead. He has zero recall though, so we would not recommend he
be let off lead. We took him to the beach recently & he absolutely loved it - running in to the sea
to bark at the waves crashing!
He can be fussy with food: sometimes he’ll eat straight away, other times he’ll shy away from his
bowl. He’s even picked his bowl up, taken it to another room & eaten in there! We’ve been
feeding him twice a day (around 8am & 5pm). He loves treats (again, typical bull terrier!) though
can be a little snatchy with them unless you give them to him slowly. He will sit / paw / other paw
/ lie down / wait for treats.
He loves people both in & out of the home, however he can jump/nip on greeting (particularly in
the house) as he gets very excited. We haven’t had the opportunity to introduce him to young
children, but don’t see any issue with him & older children.
We’ve been able to leave him alone in the house for up to 4 - 5 hours, he usually just jumps on
the sofa & falls asleep. We have had a couple of accidents in the house whilst we’ve been out,
usually if we’ve gone out first thing. We have also had one destructive episode whilst he’s been
on his own, though that was when our schedule/routines changed & he hadn’t been for a longer
walk yet.
He seems in good health; he was overweight when we received him but now seems to be at a
suitable weight. His nails were also quite overgrown; we had one clipped by the vet the rest are
back to normal just through walking. He does not like his nails being touched / clipped, so do be
aware of that - we had him muzzled at the vet. He was being sick a lot for the first couple of
weeks after we got him, including eating grass/plants to make himself sick - we believe that was
just due to stress, as that has stopped.
Dez seems to mostly ignore other dogs when out & about. All interactions with other dogs at
close range have all been positive. He has stayed the night at another house with a calm female
& there were no issues (though he did try to get a bit too friendly a few times!).
He does get protective if he is destroying/chewing anything, usually soft/fluffy toys, so be very
careful trying to take anything off him - he will snarl & snap. He’ll happily drop it & follow you for
a treat if you need to stop him - we didn’t have a water bottle to hand when it happened to try
that method.
To summarise:
Good points
● Very lovely, typical bull terrier!
● Loves affection & people
● Can be left alone
● Good with other dogs. His previous owner mentioned ok with dogs he likes, so we are wary that there might be situations he doesn’t get on with other dogs but we haven’t encountered
any.
● In good health
● No reaction to fireworks
To be aware of
● Can be very defensive if destroying anything (usually fluffy toys, but has happened with
things he shouldn’t be chewing) & you try to take it off him - snarling, snapping etc. Will
lose interest & follow you if you bring a treat out, all aggression goes
● No recall
● Gets excitable meeting new people & can jump/nip
