Bull Terrier
Bullterrier, Bull Terrier standard, English Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier (estándar), Bullterrieri
The Bull Terrier was developed in the early 19th century in England, primarily by crossing the now-extinct Old English Bulldog with various terrier breeds, including the White English Terrier. Originally bred for bull-baiting and later for dog fighting, the breed's aggressive tendencies were gradually refined into a more companionable temperament. Known for its distinctive head and muscular build, the Bull Terrier became popular as a family pet, admired for its loyalty, courage, and playful nature.
