Some bull-type terrier breeds (American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Bull Terrier)

Bull-type terriers are a dog sub-type of terriers.[1] It is also a section of the terrier group at the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI).[2][3] All bull-type terrier purebred breeds shares the same ancestry in the crossbreeding between bulldog breeds and terriers.[1][4][5]

History

In 1835 in England the blood sports, once extremely popular, became illegal,[6] but the practice of some of these blood sports continued to be secretly practiced. Sports such as rat-baiting and dog fighting had grown in popularity because it was easier to hide such events. For dog fighting, a particular type of dog gained notoriety. Uniting the traits of the best dogs in these sports (Old English Bulldogs and terriers) was born the bull and terrier, a very varied type of dog that became the common ancestor of the modern breeds that are part of the Bull-type terrier group.[7]
