Bull Terrier
The Bull Terrier tends to be friendly and have a good temperament, known for its ability to distinguish when and when it should not fight. Known for their sense of humor, they are an outgoing dog with a dominant nature who needs firm handling by their owner. Bull Terriers are tenacious fighters. They are generally not as nippy as other terriers, but when they do bite they don't like to let go. They are sometimes aggressive towards other dogs, and should be socialized early on. Although males generally do not get along with other males, the breed is usually good with other pets as long as they are socialized and introduced properly. Bull Terriers are short and well muscled, resembling both the physical characteristics of a Bulldog and the personality of a Terrier. They can be feisty in the fighting ring, but have been known to avoid a fight when out on the street. Bull Terriers are also known for their affection and playfulness. Puppies love to play and will be entertained with children non-stop. Adult Bullies are also very good with children and have been known to be completely devoted and faithful. Fierce in appearance and history, this breed's reputation does not give credit to the loving heart behind the brawn.

There are six varieties of Dachshunds; smooth-haired, wire-haired and long-haired. Each come in two sizes: Standard and Miniature.

Minature Schnauzer
The Miniature Schnauzer is an energetic, active dog who has clean habits, is neat in size and makes a delightful companion for apartment dwellers or someone with a small house and yard. Charming and attractive, the perky Miniature Schnauzers are seldom addicted to wandering, being devoted to their home and family. Miniature Schnauzers are excellent family pets and children's companion. Known in their native Germany as the Zwergschnauzer ("Zwerg" meaning "dwarf" or "midget"), they were derived from crossing the Standard Schnauzer with smaller dogs, possibly the Affenpinscher and the Miniature Pinscher. Zwergschnauzers are lively, active and fun companions. They are alert, spirited and eager to please. The Mini Schnauzer is loyal and very intelligent, and is accustomed to being the watchdog. They are not trustworthy with smaller animals, however, due to their high prey drive. They do get along well with other dogs and pets of the same size, and are excellent with children. In the past, some Schnauzers have been known to "watch over" children in their spare time. Schnauzers are more of a one-person dog, but can be accustomed to a family. An interesting fact about the Miniature Schnauzer is that they generally don't have any "doggy" smell. Another interesting piece of history is that originally the Schnauzer and the German Pinscher were the same breed. Wirehaired pups would be called Schnauzers (meaning "beard"), while smooth coated pups were called Pinschers. Today they are bred as separate breeds, however. Upbeat and obedient, the Miniature Schnauzer makes a delightful little companion.
