About the Bull Terrier

The Bull Terrier was developed in 19th-century England by crossing the old English Bulldog with the now-extinct English White Terrier, along with Dalmatian and possibly other terrier breeds. The breed’s creator, James Hinks, aimed to produce a refined, all-white “gentleman’s companion” from the rough-and-tumble fighting dogs of the era.
