A powerful short-haired terrier originated in England by crossing the bulldog with terriers.
Bull Terriers are thick-set and muscular with it's most distinctive feature being its head. Described as 'egg shaped' when viewed from the front.

Coat Colors are pure white and colored, which is any color other than white or any color with white markings. The AKC specifies that if all other things are equal, the brindle coat is preferred.

The now extinct breeds Old English Bulldog and Old English Terrier were crossed to form a new breed of dog called the Bull and Terrier. It is also known that Dalmatian comes into their genetics, and this can be seen by looking on the stomach area, where dark, spotted pigment can be seen on the skin. Around 1860, the Bull and Terrier breed split into two branches, the pure white Bull Terrier and the colored forms that lived on for another seventy years in the dog fighting pits until they finally were recognized as a legitimate dog breed called the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Pedigrees of Bull Terriers date from the period during which the English Stud books were first written (circa 1874-76). Although the breed was developed from fighting dogs, the Bull Terrier was intended to be a show dog and companion.
