Bull Terriers Breeders - Bull Terriers are a cross between the Bulldog and Terriers. At the time when bull-baiting was extremely popular numerous sport's lovers spared no pains in creating the most alert and vicious dog possessing a considerable amount of endurance. Pit and dog fighting grew more exciting with the appearance of a new breed.
However, the British government outlawed the bloody sport and Bull Terriers experienced certain changes. Particularly, about 1860 James Hinks perfected the dog's appearance by crossing it with the White English Terrier and the Dalmatian. The breed we know today was accepted in the show ring and virtually set the Thames on fire.
Bull Terriers Pictures - Bull Terriers belong to the Terrier Group of the AKC. The breed is considered one of the founding breeds of this organization. According to the standard, the Bull Terrier can be of any size. In fact, most species weigh about 45-65 pounds.
Specifications within the breed are due to size and color pattern. Some people distinguish Standard and Miniature varieties of the Bull Terrier. Also, such terms as colored and white Bull Terriers are widely used.
Bull Terriers Puppies - Bull Terriers come in a few varieties. There can be Standard or Miniature Bull Terriers. Miniature Bull Terriers are a little bit smaller than their relatives. That is the only difference between the two.
The Bull Terrier's coat is smooth, lying close to the body. White color pattern is generally preferred. There should be no markings in such dogs except on the face. Colored Bull Terriers are also acceptable.
Bull Terriers - Bull Terriers are often referred to as one of the breeds threatened by the BSL (breed specific legislation). As a matter of fact, there is a particularly distrustful attitude to the breed. Many people consider the Bull Terrier a dangerous breed that can damage a person easily. Aggression that is often the attribute of Bull-type dogs seems to be the major cause of this misconception. In reality, the Bull Terrier is a friendly companion for many people. Bull Terrier owners believe that the misconception as to the personality of the breed is due to its history.
The Bull Terrier appeared as a cross between the Bulldog and the Old English Terrier. Later, the blood of the Dalmatian, Greyhound, Foxhound, and other breeds was added to provide for good appearance, strength, agility, and temperament. The breed was developed at the end of the 19th century. Dog fighting was one of the most popular activities in the canine world. There is an opinion that the Bull Terrier was intended for this canine sport. Breeders stressed the dog's strength and viciousness. However, breed fanciers state that the function of the Bull Terrier had to be of different nature. According to them, the Bull Terrier was developed with companion function in mind. Hence, there is no reason to assume that the breed combines qualities peculiar to only fighting breeds. The Bull Terrier displays a great deal of affection and intelligence and has always been used as a pet. Nowadays, aggressive Bull Terriers are disqualified from a show ring and cannot take part in other canine activities.
