Unbreak-o-ball.-http://www.unbreakoball.com/
This toy has been one of my males favorites since I bought it.
It is a toy that is meant to be played with alone (no owner involvement)
I would NOT suggest you use it in your house as this toy is large and quite heavy and durable.
what I really like about it are the small holes, which allows the dog to pick it up.
HOWEVER, while its NEVER happened, I do tend to worry that his teeth might get caught in the holes, so I always make sure to supervise.
If you don't have a fenced in yard or safe fenced in area to take this toy-don't bother purchasing because your dog can get so excited and just keep going, and going and going until they end up right off your property! Also, make sure the area you take it is free of people, except those who KNOW whats going on, dogs often become so excited over this toy they do not pay any attention, knocking into people and knocking them down-so use common sense and caution.
The large 10" is the size of a basket ball. Its an amazing deal, extremely durable.
I also want to warn, if you have more then one dog, this is NOT a twosome toy, as many Bullies become so excited by this toy that they can potentially re-direct onto any other dogs (or humans) nearby and try to take it away or restrain them. If your dog has issues like this-maybe think about a different toy, or at the very least, keep that in mind when using it. keep a collar and lead on your dog so you can hold the lead while removing the toy from the dog so no one gets injured.

Jolly Egg Ball
Another of those toys that you really need a fenced in area for-AWAY from people.
I have one for the winter to keep my two entertained when we are unable to go for long walks, I toss it out into the snow for about 20 minutes then bring them inside to warm up.
Its great toy for dogs to play with ALONE-it can cause a dog to become over-stimulated and redirect its excitement onto other dogs, so one dog at a time.
SUPERVISE!!! all toys should be supervised anyways, but this is really a great toy for your dog to play with by himself out in the yard- (not in the house)
its thick plastic and the dog is unable to get there mouths around it to bite and hold, so the entire game is basically your dog trying to pick it up!
They come in 2 sizes, small and large, the large is 12 inches long.
This toy for me was very much worth the price as its last 2 years so far and still going strong.

Varsity Ball-http://www.varsitypetsonline.com/products/Varsity-Ball
I have not personally tried this product out, but I have heard nothing but good reviews on it, a lot like the Un-Break-O-Ball
same size, unbreakable, durable and a one dog only toy.
Again, same as the Unbreak-o-ball, caution should be taken with this toy with over-excitable dogs who may redirect that excitement onto you or someone else, and should ONLY be used in a fenced in area AWAY from people-often times they become so excited they can knock into people or knock them down without paying attention.

JW Products-http://www.jwpet.com/
I really enjoy JW products, most of the toys they make are pretty solid rubber and can hold up to rough play and chewing.
I have tried the "Cuz" toys, Ruffians, Gummie bears the whirly wheels, and the Holee rollers.
The Holee rollers only lasted one year before my girl figured out she could simply pull hard enough and tear it to pieces.
the Cuz has lasted for 3 years now-still has its feet intact, but not the horns, and the squeaker doesn't work anymore either.
The Gummi bear's squeaker was pulled out within a matter of days-though its still alive and in pretty good shape)
and the Ruffians was lost in the yard after holding up to a year of puppy chewing, could of lasted longer had it not been lost.
the whirly wheel was bought last Christmas and is going on its second still intact and working!
WARNING!!! I have heard of several people who's dogs have eaten the feet off the Cuz toys within minutes, several dogs have needed to have blockage surgery to remove the feet-so BE WARNED! this is a toy that needs supervision on your part!
However-I personally feel ALL toys need supervision, but keep that in mind if your dog targets things like that to eat or go after to destroy-mine don't, so I have not really had any issue.

Extreme Kong-http://www.chewy.com/s?dept=dog&query=kong+extreme+or+kong&nav-submit-button.x=-796&nav-submit-button.y=-70&gclid=CMzgl7K-1LoCFeY-MgodiyEAIQ
EVERYONE knows Kong! However, IF you noticed, I went straight to the "EXTREME" kong and not the regular red kongs
Reason? Bull Terriers are TOUGH chewers who enjoy being destructive! They LOVE destroying and ripping things apart.
Kongs are great to fill with ground beef, organic peanut butter, unflavored yogurt or even carrots and apple slices and tossed into your freezer over night.
you can use them when you need some down time!
While many people will say they are good for putting into your Bullies crate for entertainment while your not home, I personally would never leave my dogs alone with ANY toys. Because you just NEVER know.
I know Many people who's Bullies have EATEN extreme kongs within a matter of hours and ended up having to go thru a 3,000 dollar surgery to have a blockage of the kong removed.
I love using my kong when Im busy doing chores and cant keep my two entertained or, as a way for them to unwind after we get home for a walk, or if we are going to be late walking that day-OR if we cant get out to walk due to weather.
Its wonderful when Im sick and need some me time, and its also great for Puppies who eat to quickly, you can mix their food with water into a paste and fill the kong then put the kong into the freezer and feed them that way.
I think every Bully owner should have a Kong due to the usefulness of them!

GOUGH-NUTS
I have not had the pleasure of trying these- YET!
however, I have heard many good reviews on them, they are strong and durable and hold up wonderfully to tough chewers.
They have an inner core they can let you know when they should be thrown away-when you see the inner core, it means its time to be thrown away!
They are a little expensive, but i hear it is more then worth the price.

Tuffy's-http://www.tuffietoys.com/
Tuffy's, the ONLY stuffed dog toy Im willing to pay money for!
They are pretty darn durable for a soft toy, though not completely indestructible, They last my two dogs about a year of moderate lay-so long as I don't let anyone sit down and work at it. these toys can be a bit pricey, but if your dogs get bored of the solid rubber toys and yearn for a soft toy, then its worth the buy. if your dog however could care
Nylabone Galileo bone -
To be honest, Ive never liked Nylabone products, I have bought some in the past, only to have the so called 'durable" ones half eaten within a matter of minutes by light chewers. HOWEVER, these I really did like. they don't last extremely long, but my dogs really seemed to enjoy them . Mine last about 8 months before it began to look pretty shabby.
The price isn't too bad for that amount of time and fun.

Orbee Tuff-http://www.planetdog.com/shop-by-line.aspx
Orbee tuff products are not the toughest on the market-but they are well priced and have such adorable toys, how can you go wrong!
I really like that they have recycled toys as well!
I have the Orbee ball, which me and the dogs both LOVE! its durable, and unlike buying countless tennis balls that your chewers will eventually shred-this really pays for itself after the first month!
Im really digging the Orbee snowball, and maybe even the mint-super cute!

The CHUCK IT! Ultra Ball:
I am in LOVE With this Ball! I bought the Large Ultra Ball on a Whim While browsing through the toys- Seemed Durable enough I thought.
Boy is it EVER! And it bounces! and it Floats and , and, and (did I mention I love it?)
Not only that- But my DOGS Love it too! My Female Chimera can be a bit picky about balls she likes (if it ain't a tennis ball-she wont sit down to chew on it) This Ball has kept her attention for the last 4 months now and still going strong!
She likes to sit down while I am watching tv and simply gnaw away at it and has yet to do much damage to it.
I will be purchasing a few more shortly just to have around, will never be buying tennis balls again that's for sure!
Obviously NO TOY is completely indestructible- so ALWAYS make sure to supervise your dog with this!

Stainless steel dishes-
Sure, they are not the nicest looking, maybe they look awful sitting in your perfect little country kitchen, but let me just say-IT WORTH IT! don't even both with the non skid with the rubber bottoms, your Bully will only chew the rubber off the bottom and try eating it anyways. and forget plastic bowls, your bully is only going to keep picking it up and dumping its food and water all over whenever he/she wants to play with the dish-ceramic might work but-how will you know till your pup cracks it and cuts his mouth or drops it on the floor causing it to shatter. Invest in some good stainless steel bowls for both food and water-you will be glad you did!

Zoom Groom
zoom grooms or rubber curry brushes are about the only brush you can use for Bull Terriers due to the short fur, the certainly enjoy the rub down too!
