Bull Terier Dog

The bull terrier was probably developed about 1835 in England by mating a bulldog with a white English terrier, a breed now extinct. Created as a pit dog to fight other dogs, the bull terrier battled until it or its opponent was dead. It was well suited for such activity, having great agility, a low center of gravity, and a powerful set of jaws. Although dog fighting was outlawed in England in 1835, the breed continued to be used for this bloody sport through most of the 19th century. Bull terrier grow up to 16.3 kg (36 lb), and are similar in size to bulldogs but longer legged. They may be white, red, black and tan, or brindle, and the colored bull terriers usually have white markings.


The bull terrier, a powerfully built dog, is one of the strongest dogs of its size. It was bred from the early bulldog and the white English terrier, other kind of this dog like Irish terrier dog.
