Determined, industrious and spirited, the Bull Terrier promises to be the perfect companion dog for the right owner. This is a fiercely loyal canine with a gladiator's heart and a clown's mind. His well-protected family is equally well entertained and loved. The Bull Terrier's popularity continues to grow as the breed offers almost every owner - male and female, city and country dweller, young and old - a top-class dog that excels in personality, talent and ability.

Why the Bull Terrier was developed back in the 1800s is not exactly congruent with today's Bull Terrier. The Bull Terrier is based on bull and terrier dogs, which were bred for baiting and dog fighting, sports that were eventually outlawed in Great Britain in the 19th century. The origin can be traced directly to a man named James Hinks, of Birmingham, England, who after years of experimentation introduced the breed in the 1850s. The Bull Terrier is based loosely on the now-extinct English White Terrier. Hinks spent years crossbreeding with bull and terrier dogs, attempting to build a bulldog that was not only better fitted to the pits but also better looking. By breeding out such undesirable traits as the roach back, overly angulated legs and undershot jaw, and injecting some size and strength (possibly from crossbreeding with the Spanish Pointer), the result was a handsome, proud gladiator, fit to walk next to a gentleman.
