Bull Terrier

The Bull Terrier is a strong, muscular breed of dog that has been around since the 1800s.

Originating in England, the Bull Terrier was bred from the Old English Bulldog and the English Terrier. This combination created a powerful, agile breed that was used for bull-baiting and dog fighting.

In the late 1800s, the Bull Terrier was refined to become a more gentle companion dog. Its distinctive egg-shaped head and strong, muscular body made it a popular choice for many families.

Today, the Bull Terrier is still a popular breed, known for its loyalty, intelligence, and playful nature. It is an active breed that loves to play and needs plenty of exercise. With its strong protective instinct, the Bull Terrier makes an excellent guard dog.
