CHEERY ENGLISH BULL TERRIER

The English Bull Terrier dog breed, or simply Bull Terrier, is believed to have been first bred in 1835. He was developed by James Hinks, who crossed the English Bulldog with the now-extinct White English Terrier. The resulting dogs were crossed with Spanish Pointers to increase their size. English Bull Terriers were referred to as the Bull-and-Terrier dogs at that time. They became fierce dogfighters in the ring, yet well-mannered toward people. In 1850, a man named James Hinks bred an all-white Bull-and-Terrier dog. This white dog was called the White Cavalier, who became a popular companion of gentlemen. After selective breeding with other Terrier-type dogs, a breed standard for White Bull Terrier was created. In 1885, the English Bull Terrier was acknowledged by the American Kennel Club. In 1887, the first Bull Terrier club was founded. In the 1900s, the coloured English Bull Terriers and the white variations were accepted as one type and breed. Shortly after, Miniature Bull Terriers were produced. The Standard English Bull Terrier and the Miniature Bull Terrier are recognised by the Kennel Club as separate dog breeds. The English Bull Terrier is classified by the Kennel Club under the Terrier Group.
