Developed by James Hinks, the breed, originally known as a bull-and-terrier, was bred for the then-legal 'sport' of pit fighting.
Eventually Hinks was able to make smooth the misshapen form of the bull-and-terriers and to establish in its place the more graceful lines of the white English terrier, albeit with more bone and muscularity than the white terrier possessed.
The final result of Hinks and company's makeover of the old bull-and-terrier was a dog that came to be known simply as the bull terrier, a breed with a unique look that fanciers to this day would call handsome rather than beautiful.

She had different look from the dogs which were strictly bred for fighting, from which she originated because Hinks intended to combine fine crupper, shoulder and higher parts with firm back and steady joints so he took a Dalmatian and maybe even a Collie for breed crossing.
