Is This What You're Looking for?
Aren’t they sweet? Such good dogs, aren’t they? So nice, the way they all get along and hang out. I bred two of them, so I’d like to think that I’m some kind of genius breeder that produces darling Bull Terriers who relax calmly inside and get along with their housemates, but it’s just not so. Left to their own devices, this crew would tear apart the house and probably get into a fight in the process. The truth is, this tranquil scene is the product of years of constant training and management. Constant shaping, and re-directing. All adults in the household constantly listening for that shuffle of feet that tells us that things are about to break loose. Constant praise and reward for calm behaviors, and lots of time sitting on the couch and training the girls to relax.
Setting Expectations
I wish I could tell you that four dogs lying contentedly together is typical for Bull Terriers, but it's not. We certainly breed the best temperaments and try to reproduce those temperaments, but Bull Terrier are not famous for running in packs. We guarantee that your Madcap Bull Terrier will be loving and kind to humans, but we can also pretty much guarantee that your Bull Terrier will not get along with all dogs, all the time. We run several together at once, but we hand select which ones can go together and we are expert at monitoring the situation and keeping things calm.
Bull Terriers usually do NOT do well at dog parks. Even when Bull Terriers are completely non-aggressive to other dogs, their play style is obnoxious and it can really tick other dogs off. The result is that the other dogs become snarky with the Bull Terrier, which often winds up in a dog fight. Bull Terriers absolutely can have certain buddies that they enjoy playing with, but you have to screen and select your dog's playmates. A typical "dog friendly" Bull Terrier will not start a fight, but they will certainly finish it if a snappy dog goes after them at the dog park.

Wash and Wear?
In summary, sure, lots of people do run multiple Bull Terriers but it is NOT a carefree process and you have to be prepared to do a decent amount of management. Many Bull Terriers CAN live together and love each other, but it's not a "wash and wear" proposition.
