During the 18th century Bull-and-Terrier breeds was a result of the cross between the Bulldogs and Terriers which is a branch out of the immense family tree of the Bulldogs. The cross breed was intentionally done to produce a breed that has both the amazing qualities of Bulldog and Terries – power and firmness from the former and strength, attentiveness, dexterity and “game” nature of the latter.

The first Bull Terriers are found in various types and sizes such as the toy breeds which is very small that only weight about 9 to 15 kilograms. While some were medium in size with the weight of 33 kilograms and other arrays from 100 to 130 kilograms – this size is somewhat similar to the size of the modern Bull Terrier we have at the present. Appearance-wise, its back has an arch, the legs are bent and the jaw has undershot and all other qualities that is suggestive of the Bulldog breed heritage.

A famous breeder from Birmingham, England named James Hinks is famous for starting the Bull Terrier breed during the 1860s, without him Bull Terriers would look as refined as they are today – a more proportioned body, more elongated head and it is mainly or totally white in color. He came up with this breed by using his on hand Bulldog Madman and white English Terriers, both are now extinct.

Bulldog Terriers were given the nickname White Cavaliers; it is more than a pet back then as it is also regarded as a fashion trend for the gents in the town. Men are seen with a White Cavalier beside them as the drove their carriages around the park. There was even a rhyme that precisely explains the story of the breed’s origin. According to this rhyme, James Hinks is an old bum that found a Bull Terrier which he made his companion.

In 1885, The American Kennel Club acknowledged the Bull Terrie breed as it became famous in the US and in 1897 was the birth of the Bull Terrier Club of America. During the 20th century, some breeders tried to cross it with Staffordshire Bull Terriers that gave color to the coat but it was only in 1936 that the “colored” Bull Terrier was recognized. The AKC ranks this breed the 53rd among others.

Is a Bullterrier a good choice for me?

Big Dog — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 09:42:38 +0000

If you have a large yard and at least half an hour per day that you can provide to a furry friend, then Bullterrier is probably one of the best breeds for you. These dogs are very lively, active and energetic, so they require much exercise to keep them happy and healthy – a long walk at least once a day is a must, but twice is the best.

Bullterriers have a coarse and short coat that requires not too much care, but during their seasonal shedding (two times a year) weekly brushing is advised. Regular check and care of the ears is also very much advised, since the ears tend to cause health problems. Otherwise, this breed is a healthy one; you must only pay attention to protect them from cold weather.

Training of this breed is not that easy, a heavy-handed yet calm, consistent and dominant trainer is needed to teach the dog. Early socialization is a must, as Bullterriers tend to be unfriendly towards other pets, dogs or children. Constant supervision is required when the dog is with smaller children.

All in all, Bullterriers will make excellent watchdogs or guard dogs if trained properly and they are kept happy in a house with at least a medium-sized yard to play.

I hope this introduction about Bullterriers will help you decide whether this breed is the right one for you.

The origins of the Bull Terrier

Big Dog — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 09:14:58 +0000

The Bull Terrier was bred in England in the 19th century, for “entertainment” purposes. After the so popular bullbaits became illegal in England, dog-fights came into fashion. For this, people needed an agil, light, but fearless dog. They needed a dog that could be easily hidden in case the police arrived – so the dog couldn’t be too big. These are the reasons why they started to cross the Old English Bulldog with various Terriers. The breed became extremely popular, the first Bull Terrier Club in England was established in 1887, and one year later, the standards were published. AKC recognized the breed in 1895.

Is it the Bull Terrier from Staffordshire? Well, almost. But this is a separate breed though. It is related to three breeds: the Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire and the American Pit Bull Terrier.
It is very strong, muscular, but also agile breed, not surprisingly, as it was first bred to participate in dog fights. But in spite of all this, this is one of the only two breeds which are considered to go very well with children, by the UK Kennel.
