- Bulldog-terrier crosses, of various sizes and colors, became
-
- popular as sporting dogs in the early 1800s. Around 1860, in
-
- response to the growing interest in dog shows and the demand
-
- for pet and prize dogs, James Hinks - a Birmingham dog dealer -
-
- developed a more refined version of these crosses, distinguished
-
- by its all white coat. These dogs soon established themselves as a
-
- new breed - the Bull Terrier. In Hinks' day they were often referred
-
- to as White Cavaliers.
- In developing the Bull T
-
- errier early records indicate that Hinks employed existing Bulldog-
-
- terrier crosses, his own white Bulldog Madman and the now
-
- extinct White English Terrier. Also it is believed he added Dalmatian
-
- and possibly Greyhound to the mix.
- In the early 1900s Bull Terriers were back crossed with brindle
-
- Staffordshires to produce a colored variety. So today they come in
-
- two varieties, the White and the Colored. The modern white Bull
-
- Terrier often sports a colored patch on its head.
- Their coat is short and glossy and requires very little grooming.
-
- The Bull Terrier loves games with a ball or other toys and all sorts
-
- of outdoor activities.
-
- Bull Terriers do not bark unless there is a good reason. When a
-
- Bull Terrier is barking, pay attention.
