how did the bull terrier get its head
Bull Terrier
In the mid-19th century James Hinks started breeding Bull and Terriers with `` English White Terriers '' ( now extinct ) , looking for a cleaner appearance with better legs and nicer head . In 1862 , Hinks entered a dam called `` Puss '' sired by his white Bulldog called `` Madman '' into the Bull Terrier Class at the dog show held at the Cremorne Gardens in Chelsea . Originally known as the `` Hinks Breed '' and `` The White Cavalier '' , these dogs did not yet have the now - familiar `` egg face '' , but kept the stop in the skull profile . The dog was immediately popular and breeding continued , using Dalmatian , Spanish Pointer , and Whippet to increase elegance and agility ; and Borzoi and Rough Collie to reduce the stop . Hinks wanted his dogs white , and bred specifically for this . The first modern Bull Terrier is now recognised as `` Lord Gladiator '' , from 1917 , being the first dog with no stop at all .
