Prepare for unexpected vet bills
If you are looking for a dog that can become a valuable member of your household, you should definitely consider getting the Bull Arab. Known for a muscular build, extreme loyalty and playfulness, this breed is popular in its native country of Australia and was primarily being used to hunt pigs. Because of their versatility, however, Bull Arabs are currently renowned for several other purposes, including guarding, canine sports and search and rescue. Because of their hunting and working background, you can expect the Bull Arab to be very active. This means they need plenty of exercise in order to keep them healthy.Â
For an athletic and vigorous breed such as the Bull Arab, it is up to the owner to find new ways and activities that will keep them excited and physically healthy. A favorite among dog owners who love sporty activities is dock diving. This is a full-fledged canine sport in which a dog jumps from a dock into a body of water. The score is determined by how far or how high the dog can jump off the dock. While there are some dog-owner tandems that do this professionally, it is also a popular recreational hobby for canines and their furparents.Â
While the Bull Arab is one of the most loving and playful breeds known to man, they do have a tenuous reputation for being overly aggressive and intimidating. Unfortunately, this is all due to the negative image portrayed by the media and public perception. This is not to say that the Bull Arab does not need some socialization. Bull Arabs are naturally protective and it is best to train this breed as early as possible to prevent the onset of any aggression. A simple but effective way to socialize your dog is through a playdate with other dogs. By organizing a playdate, your dog is introduced to other people and canines, which will allow them to become more comfortable and interact better.Â
Obedience is one of the most essential things that your dog has to learn. This is because having a good grasp of commands allows your dog to take on a variety of activities and canine sports. All you have to do is choose a club or trainer and enroll your dog and they will do the rest.Â
The beach is a great place to play, relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Take your pooch out to a day at the beach for some bonding time. Just be sure that you know the rules of the beach and that you adhere to them.Â
The Bull Arab is a strong, smart and devoted dog breed that has become more and more beloved over the years. They are a top choice for those who live an active lifestyle or even for families who are looking for a watchdog. Aside from these traits, the Bull Arab can be pretty friendly and will make for a great daily companion and overall home pet.Â
