If
there's children in the home, you must consider, whether they're old
enough. A puppy/young dog can be intense and "bite" quite a bit.
Consider whether you have the energy for raising and taking care of both
children and dog. A puppy is just as demanding as a child.
If you don't have children, then consider, whether that might change the next 2-4 years.
Is
there any other pets in your home and will they feel comfortable sharing home
with a dog. Is your home suitable for a dog. Do you have areas close by, where
you can walk your dog. Are you willing to accept the damages and wear and tear
that a dog will cause.
Even though a Bull Terrier isn't shedding a lot, hairs, soil and water
from outside, droppings in your garden (and inside until the dog is house
trained) etc. will mean extra cleaning up. Are you ready for that?
You may also have to make change in your house to fit the dog, such a
"securing" an area, where the dog can be, when it's alone. And maybe
you have a garden, which must be fenced.
What will you do with you dog, if you go on holiday and can you live with always
having to plan the day, so the dog will never be alone too long. What is your
back up plan, if you can't get home in time.
