The Irish Bull Terrier is a breed of dog. This dog was bred for both dog fighting and ratting.

Genealogy

It is directly descended from the longer legged original Staffordshire Bull Terrier and is not an American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) as it is unrelated to the American Coon Hound or similar breeding. Because it closely resembles the APBT, albeit smaller with a different head and shorter muzzle, the media vilified the breed. However, with the introduction of the much larger American Bulldog (AB) in Europe, the negative publicity has partially subsided. The dog is allegedly pound for pound the strongest canine species, followed closely by the APBT and then the AB. The breed is favoured by the dog fighting fraternity due to a lack of fresh contributions to the APBT gene pool as a result of European wide bans. The majority of Kennel Clubs including the RSPCA have shunned the breed, pushing it further underground rather than assisting with responsible breeding and ownership by the main stream public.

Anatomy

The Irish Bull Terrier normally stands between 16 to 19 inches at the shoulder (sometimes higher, if the Old English Bulldog gene reoccurs), but never with the brick shaped head of the APBT. It has no colour restrictions. It weighs in the region of 60 pounds (27 kg), similar in size to its later counterpart the English Bull Terrier (EBT) bread by Hinks in the 1860s reference.
