The Bull Terrier was introduced by mating a Bulldog with the white English Terrier. Later in 1860 it was crossbred with the Spanish Pointer to gain size. When an all white dog was thought to be more attractive, James Hindkes produced it.

At this time dog fights were a favorite past time of the wealthy.
