Irish bull terrier (also called Irish Staffordshire bull terrier) refers to a type of dog believed to be a crossbreed descended from an early cross between the Bulldog and Black and Tan Terrier, which produced the Bull Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier breeds, the former bred primarily to control vermin, and the latter to be fighting dogs. Irish bull terriers were developed primarily for dog fighting and ratting.
Background
A 2002 article published in The Telegraph, quoted Beverley Cuddy, then editor of Dogs Today, who called the variety a complete fiction, stating that "There is no recognised Irish Staffordshire bull terrier breed." Some believed the breed was invented to circumvent the United Kingdom's Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, and that the "new dogs" were being developed by British dog breeders for use in illegal dog fights. Dogs were being sold under the code name, "Irish" Staffordshire bull terrier, or "pit bull". They were described as looking very much like the American Pit Bull Terrier that were previously banned from the UK.
Not a breed
The Irish bull terrier is not recognized by any notable kennel club or breed registry. Some suspect the dogs are American Pit Bull Terriers with an Irish nomenclature to circumvent the breed-specific legislation bans. The RSPCA said that "the 'Irish' variety – which it does not recognise as a breed" contributed to a rise in incidents of dog fighting at a level equivalent to that of the 1980s.
Characteristics
They are not heavy dogs, and range in appearance from very similar to an Staffordshire Bull Terrier to more like a Pit Bull.
