All About Black Bull Terriers

Since ancient times, mankind has had a very mixed opinion about such an interesting breed of dog as a bull terrier. Most people believe that this animal is very aggressive and even dangerous to humans. Black bull terriers are considered particularly aggressive.

However, many dog ​​handlers claim that the dog is incapable of killing a person, and it carries no danger. Like it or not - it’s worth it to figure it out.

It is about black bull terriers that will be discussed in the article

Bull terriers were born thanks to the experiments of the English breeder James Hinx. In the middle of the XIX century, he set the task to form a completely new and truly strong dog.

Initially, Hinks planned to create a perfectly white dog, and he did it.

Contrary to this version, facts have recently surfaced that prove that the breed appeared much earlier - about 200 years ago. These conclusions are based on the paintings of 1810, on which you can see animals that strongly resemble the bull terrier.

The breed was officially recognized at one of the exhibitions - around 1863.

In the middle of the 20th century, not only white bull terriers began to appear, but also black ones.
