Bull terrier
This breed belongs to large dogs. Almost everyone knows her - this is a muscular dog with a "rat" face. Opinions about bull terriers around the world are very ambiguous - some consider the dog dangerous, while others are confident that the pet can be a true friend and loyal dog.
Origin
The creator of this breed is the English breeder James Hinks. He bred the first bull terrier by crossing a white terrier and an English bulldog. His main task was to get a fighting and fearless dog, which James did. When crossing, the appearance and beauty of the animal were not taken into account.
The main kennel club in England officially recognized the breed in the 19th century, but it did not begin to breed until the 20th century. In those days, not everyone could afford a domestic bulldog - such a pet was considered a real asset. For a long time, there was a myth that the bull terrier is an uncontrollable car - a killer. Nevertheless today this myth has been dispelled, because the bull terrier is an excellent and cheerful companion.
